PROBLEM
No crema.
Drip tray fills
too quickly.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
•
Coffee tamped too lightly.
•
Coffee is ground too coarsely.
•
Coffee beans or pre-ground
coffee are not fresh.
•
The filter basket may
be blocked.
•
Single Wall filter baskets
are being used with
pre-ground coffee.
•
Auto purge feature. Immediately
after the espresso, hot water and
steam functions, the machine
will purge water into the drip
tray. This ensures the thermocoil
is at the optimal temperature.
EASY SOLUTION
•
Tamp between 30–40lbs or
15–20kg of pressure.
•
Use slightly finer grind. Refer to
'Setting the Grind Size', page 12 and
'Under Extraction', page 21.
•
If grinding fresh whole coffee beans,
use freshly roasted coffee beans with
a 'Roasted On' date and consume
between 5–20 days after that date.
•
If using pre-ground coffee, use within
a week of grinding.
•
Use the pin on the end of the
provided cleaning tool to unblock
the hole(s). If the hole(s) remain
blocked, dissolve a cleaning tablet in
hot water and soak filter basket and
portafilter in solution for approx.
20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.
•
Ensure you use Dual Wall filter
baskets with pre-ground coffee.
•
No action required as this is the
normal operation of the machine.
