Possible Causes

Too large cup size for pod strength, Fast flow due to low resistance, Reusable pod ground too coarse, Internal bypass valve stuck open

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use caution with hot liquids.

  • Adjust cup size: Select a smaller brew size for stronger coffee.
  • Use strong/bold mode: Enable strong mode if available to slow flow and increase extraction.
  • Check reusable pod: Use finer grounds and fill to the recommended level without packing too tightly.
  • Descale: Remove scale that can alter flow characteristics.
  • Persistent weak coffee with all pods: An internal bypass or mixing valve may be stuck and require technician service.
