Troubleshooting
Coffee tastes weak or watery.
Ensure you are using the correct ratio of coffee grounds to water. For cold brew, you might need to adjust the steep time (longer for stronger).
Filter is difficult to clean.
Rinse the filter immediately after use. For stubborn grounds, use a soft brush or soak briefly in warm water before rinsing.
Brewer is leaking.
Check that the seal is properly placed and tightened. Ensure the release button is fully engaged when not in use.
Insulated mug is not keeping temperature.
Make sure the lid is securely fastened. For hot beverages, pre-heating the mug with hot water can improve performance. For cold, pre-chilling with ice water helps.
