When I use pre-ground coffee, the coffee is
too weak.
• Make sure the amount of pre-ground coffee in
the lter is consistent with the amount of water
in the water reservoir. Please keep in mind that
the appliance uses all the water in the water
reservoir.
• Use ground coffee of a stronger blend or avour.
• To increase the coffee strength, increase the
amount of pre-ground coffee or decrease the
amount of water.
The lter overows when I remove the jug from
the appliance while it is brewing coffee.
• If you remove the jug for more than 20 seconds
during the brewing process, the drip stop
causes the lter basket to overow.
Also note that the coffee does not reach its full
taste before the end of the brewing process.
Therefore we advise you not to remove the jug
and pour out the coffee before the end of the
brewing process.
The appliance continues to drip long after the
brewing process has ended.
• The dripping is caused by condensation
of steam. It is completely normal that the
appliance drips for some time.
• If the dripping does not stop, the drip stop may
be clogged. To clean the drip stop, pull at the
tab of the lter basket holder on the right side
of the coffeemaker to open the holder. Take out
the lter basket. Then rinse the lter basket and
the drip stop under the tap.
• If you remove the jug for more than 20 seconds
during the brewing process, the drip stop
causes the lter basket to overow.
