6. Troubleshooting
Leaks During Brewing
- K-Cup Adapter Seal: Check if the seal ring on the K-Cup lid is intact. A loose or missing seal can cause leakage.
- Ground Coffee Grind Size/Tamping: Using coffee that is too fine (like powdered sugar) or tamping the grounds too firmly can clog the filter and cause excessive pressure, leading to leaks. Use 7-10g of medium-fine ground coffee (400-600 µm).

Video description: This video demonstrates common causes of leakage when brewing ground coffee, specifically focusing on issues related to grind size and tamping, and how to prevent them.
Coffee Not Hot Enough
- Preheat Cycle: Before each brew, insert an empty adapter and run a cup of hot water to flush out any residual condensation in the pipes. This preheats the machine and the cup.
- Temperature Setting: Ensure the temperature setting is adjusted to the highest level according to the instructions in the "Customizing Coffee Temperature" section.
