Coffee tastes weak or watery even with correct pods.

Safety first: Unplug before cleaning internal parts.

• Use correct pods and holder: Ensure you are using Senseo‑compatible pods and the correct 1‑cup or 2‑cup pod holder.
• Clean pod holder: Remove oils and residue from the pod holder and metal filter to allow proper flow resistance.
• Check brew head seal: Inspect the rubber seal around the brew head for cracks or flattening; replace if worn.
• Descale: Run a descaling cycle to restore proper pressure and temperature.
• Service pump: If coffee remains weak and the pump sounds different (very quiet or irregular), the pump may need replacement.
