The coffee is too strong or too watery.

• Do not use caramelized or flavored coffee beans. Only use normal coffee beans or pre-ground coffee.

  

• If the coffee is too strong, press and turn the grinder adjustment knob one notch at a time to a finer grinding (smaller dots). If the coffee tastes watery, press and turn the grinder adjustment knob one notch at a time to a coarser grinding (bigger dots).
