Troubleshooting
Machine does not turn on
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the power switch is in the 'on' position.
Coffee is weak or watery
Check if the correct amount of coffee powder was used or if the capsule is properly seated. Ensure the water tank is filled with fresh water. Descaling may be required if mineral buildup is affecting pressure.
Water leaking from the machine
Verify that the water tank is correctly seated and not overfilled. Check the drip tray to ensure it is properly aligned and not overflowing.
Machine is noisy during operation
Some noise is normal due to the pump and pressure. If the noise is excessive or unusual, ensure the machine is on a stable, flat surface and check for any loose parts.
Coffee is not hot enough
Allow the machine to fully preheat. Ensure the coffee cup is pre-warmed if possible. Descaling may be necessary to ensure optimal heating element performance.
