The coffee is too weak (see 

note).

This may sometimes occur when 

the machine is automatically 

adjusting the dose.

Brew a few espressos as described in 

the section “Saeco Adapting System”.

The ceramic coffee grinder is set 

to a coarse grind.

Adjust the ceramic coffee grinder to 

a finer setting (see section “Adjust-

ing the Ceramic Coffee Grinder”)

Coffee is brewed slowly (see 

note).

The coffee grind is too fine.

Change coffee blend or adjust the 

grind as explained in section “Adjust-

ing the Ceramic Coffee Grinder”.

The water circuit is not primed.

Fill the water tank with fresh water 

and dispense hot water.

The brew group is dirty.

Clean the brew group (section 

“Weekly Cleaning of the Brew 

Group”).

The drip tray gets filled al-

though no water is drained.

Sometimes water is drained auto-

matically by the machine into the 

drip tray to manage the rinsing of 

the circuits and ensure optimum 

machine performance.

This is seen as normal machine 

behaviour.

 Note: 

These problems can be considered normal if the coffee blend has been changed or if the machine has just been 

installed. In this case wait until the machine performs a self-adjusting operation as described in section “Saeco 

Adapting System”.
