Coffee has a burnt or excessively bitter taste, different from normal flavor.

Safety: Let the machine cool if it has been used repeatedly.

• Use fresh capsules: Never reuse capsules; they are designed for a single extraction.
• Check volume setting: On automatic models, ensure the volume selector matches the recommendation on the capsule. Overfilling can cause over-extraction.
• Clean injector and holder: Remove coffee residues by cleaning the injector needle and soaking the capsule holder in warm soapy water.
• Descale: Perform a descaling cycle to restore proper temperature control.

If taste issues persist with fresh water and capsules after cleaning and descaling, the thermoblock temperature regulation may be off and require service.
