Trouble shooting

• The right coarseness of the coffee/espresso bean is important. If the coarseness is finer, more flavour
will be extracted. If the setting is too fine, the contact time of hot water will be too long and too
many bittern will be extracted. And also the crema clears away again.
• Varying the compacting pressure of the powder in the portafilter shows similar effects as varying the
coarseness.
Taste is not okay?

beans ground too fine, beans compressed too much, percolation is too long, too
much powder, too much pressure.
no suitable water, water is too soft, brewing temperature is too low, beans
ground too coarse, roasting is too light, percolation is too short, wrong coffee
type (coffee roasting instead of espresso roasting).
bad bean quality, beans are stored too long, chlorinated water, wrong espresso
type.
not enough powder, coffee is too old, powder is too coarse, powder is not
compressed enough, too much water.
