UNDER-EXTRACTION
In case of under-extraction you will get a very thin, flat and underdeveloped coffee. The coffee flows very quickly into the cup. In this case, too
little components have been dissolved out. The coffee is very light, the cream very thin, not available or the cream is very light with large bubbles.
Brewing pressure smaller than 7 to 8 bar
●
The coffee flows very quickly into the cup, approx. 25 seconds.
●
The coffee tastes sour or flat
●
Possible reasons for an under-extraction
Cause
Grinding level too coarse (falls out of the outlet quite quickly, the cof-
fee grounds feel rather coarse-gained when rubbing them between
your fingers).
Too little coffee grounds.

Solution
Grind finer, slowly approach the optimum grinding level.
Use more ground grounds, note the maximum filling quantity, the
grind may also need to be adjusted.

coffee grounds. Otherwise, channels may form in the coffee and the
hot water will flow through the coffee too quickly.
