Coffee tastes weak or watery even when using the same capsules or ground coffee.

Safety first: Allow the machine to cool before removing any internal filters or screens.

• Check volume settings: Many Magimix machines allow programming cup size. Reset to factory defaults or reduce the programmed volume for espresso.
• Clean the brew head: Remove and clean the shower screen or filter (on ground-coffee models) with warm water and a soft brush to remove coffee oils.
• Use fresh coffee: For ground-coffee models, ensure beans are fresh and grind is appropriate (fine for espresso). Avoid very coarse grinds.
• Descale: Perform a descaling cycle to restore proper flow and pressure through the thermoblock and group.

If coffee remains weak despite correct settings and cleaning, the pump may be worn and require replacement.
