Troubleshooting
Coffee is not brewing
Ensure the water level is correct, the filter basket is properly seated, and the upper and lower chambers are securely connected. Check if the power cord is plugged in and the unit is switched on.
Weak or watery coffee
Verify that the correct amount of ground coffee is used and that it's not too finely ground. Ensure the chosen aroma setting is appropriate (e.g., not 'light' if strong coffee is desired).
Coffee tastes burnt
Check that the coffee is not left on the keep-warm function for too long after brewing. Ensure the water and coffee grounds are fresh.
Unit not turning on
Confirm the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check the main power switch on the unit. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Leaking from the base
Ensure the upper and lower chambers are tightly screwed together. Check the gasket for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
