Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Coffee tastes weak | Too little coffee grounds; water not hot enough; pressing too fast. | Increase coffee amount; use hotter water (around 200°F/93°C); press slower. |
| Coffee tastes bitter | Too much coffee grounds; water too hot; over-extraction (pressing too slowly). | Reduce coffee amount; use slightly cooler water; press at a consistent, moderate speed. |
| Difficulty pressing plunger | Coffee grounds too fine; filter clogged. | Use coarser grounds; ensure filter is clean and free of blockages. |
| Water leaks from unit | Components not properly assembled; seal damaged. | Reassemble all parts carefully; inspect seals for damage and replace if necessary. |
