Troubleshooting
Espresso not brewing or brewing very slowly.
Ensure the coffee grounds are not packed too tightly. Check that the filter basket is clean and properly seated. Verify the water level is correct (below the valve). Ensure the top and bottom sections are screwed together tightly. Check heat setting; it should be medium.
Coffee tastes weak or watery.
Use a finer grind of coffee. Ensure you are using the correct amount of coffee in the filter basket, leveling it off without pressing down. Increase the heat slightly, but watch to prevent burning.
Coffee tastes burnt or bitter.
Reduce the heat level. Remove the espresso maker from the heat as soon as the coffee finishes brewing and before the characteristic gurgling sound becomes too loud. Ensure the coffee is fresh and not stale.
Water leaking from the connection between top and bottom.
Ensure both parts are screwed together tightly. Check the rubber gasket for damage or debris and ensure it is properly seated. Clean the threads on both sections.
