Possible Causes

Brew temperature too low due to failing thermostat, Water passing too quickly through grounds, Incorrect grind size (too coarse), Clogged showerhead causing uneven saturation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use caution when handling hot components.

  • Adjust coffee and grind: Use a medium grind and increase the coffee dose slightly to see if taste improves.
  • Check brew strength setting: If your Wolf Gourmet model has a strength selector, set it to a stronger setting.
  • Clean showerhead: Remove the brew basket and inspect the water outlet/showerhead above it. Wipe away any scale or coffee residue with a damp cloth or soft brush.
  • Descale: Run a descaling cycle to restore proper brew temperature and flow characteristics.
  • If coffee remains consistently weak: The heating block may not be reaching optimal temperature due to a failing thermostat or sensor, requiring professional diagnosis.
