Troubleshooting
Coffee is not brewing
Check that the machine is plugged in and the power button is pressed. Ensure there is water in the reservoir and that the brew basket is properly seated.
Coffee tastes bitter or burnt
Ensure you are using fresh coffee grounds and the correct water-to-coffee ratio. Also, check that the machine has been descaled recently, as mineral buildup can affect taste.
Machine is leaking
Verify that the brew basket and thermal jug are correctly positioned. Check for any cracks in the reservoir or jug. Ensure the anti-drip mechanism is not obstructed.
