Coffee is not hot enough
Use preheated water for brewing. Ensure the self-heating function has completed its cycle before brewing if starting with cold water.
Weak or watery coffee
Verify you are using the correct amount of ground coffee or a compatible Nespresso pod. Ensure the brew chamber is securely sealed.
Leaking during brewing
Check that all components are correctly assembled and sealed tightly. Ensure the water level does not exceed the maximum fill line.
