Troubleshooting
Coffee tastes weak or watery
Ensure you are using enough coffee grounds and allow the coffee to steep for the recommended time (approx. 4 minutes). Check that the grind size is coarse enough.
Coffee grounds in the cup
Use a coarser coffee grind. Ensure the stainless steel gauze filter is properly seated and not damaged. Do not overfill the cafetiere.
Plunger is difficult to press
Check that the coffee grind is not too fine, as this can clog the filter. Ensure the plunger is aligned correctly. Clean the filter thoroughly.
Handle feels loose
Check if any screws securing the handle are loose and tighten them gently. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
