Here are some tips to brew hotter coffee:

• Check that the water heater is working properly: draw off some water from the steam tube. If the water comes out hot, the water heater is OK. If the water is cold, take the machine to a service center to have it examined.

• Check the temperature of the cups. Cold cups will very quickly lower the temperature of the coffee. Try warming cups with some hot water and/or steam or by keeping them on the cup warming plate (if present).

• Pre-heat the water circuit and filter by first dispensing one cup of coffee without putting in any coffee, i.e. by dispensing only hot water. After that, start brewing coffee.
