7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Coffee does not brew. | No water in reservoir; unit not plugged in; brew cycle not initiated. | Fill water reservoir; ensure unit is plugged in; press 'BREW' or 'GROUND/CAPSULE' button. |
| Coffee tastes weak. | Not enough coffee grounds; coffee too coarsely ground; water reservoir overfilled. | Add more coffee grounds; use finer ground coffee; ensure water level matches desired cups. |
