Coffee tastes weak or too strong despite using the same amount of coffee.

Safety first: Unplug before cleaning internal parts.

• Check strength settings: On programmable Severin models, verify that the aroma or strength setting has not been changed.
• Descale: Scale can alter flow measurement. Run a full descaling cycle.
• Clean spray head: Remove and clean the shower/spray head above the filter basket to ensure even water distribution.
• Adjust grind: Use a consistent medium grind for filter coffee. Too coarse yields weak coffee; too fine can cause over-extraction and slow flow.
