Possible Causes

Grind too coarse, Grinder calibration drift, Brew group not compressing puck properly, Flow meter miscalibration

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the machine before adjusting internal grinder components.

  • Adjust grind finer: Turn the grinder adjustment towards a finer setting while the grinder is running (follow the Grundig manual).
  • Increase coffee strength: Use the strength or aroma setting to increase the dose if available.
  • Clean brew group: Remove and clean the brew group to ensure it can compress the coffee puck correctly.
  • Run calibration (if available): Some models allow recalibration of coffee volume. Reprogram cup sizes to slightly smaller volumes for stronger coffee.
