SOURCE: Coffee is weak

Check where the water comes out under the brew filter. It sounds like you may be missing the sprayhead. It is a round metal or plastic piece that is screwed on to the water dispense area and acts like a little showerhead forcing water evenly over the coffee grounds. If it is missing, the coffee will be weak. Check the water temperature. If it isn't hot enough, the coffee will be weak.

SOURCE: keurig B70, the my k cup , weak weak coffee !!!!!

It is best to take it to the store you bought it from and have them fix it and watch or replace at no cost to you. Tell the store what they said to you and have them show you how to do it. If you work on it and break it you own a broken machine. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: My Keurig B60 is Suddenly Brewing WEAK Coffee

I don't have a solution but have just experienced the same problem and am baffled. I am using the same beans same grind. In fact using the exact same grind it went from great one day to weak the next day.  I always run it for 15 - 16 secs to get the shot and that hasn't changed. Pressure and temperature appear fine. I cleaned the top of the top filter which was a little dirty but not seriously bad - no change. The coffee flow which is normally chocolate coloured to start with is just mid brown.

Hi. My new tchibo coffee maker won't brew the large sized coffee, instead only giving me about a tablespoon in my cup. The other sizes work fine. Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that your Tchibo coffee maker is not brewing the large size coffee properly. Here are a few suggestions that might help:
  1. Check the water level in the water tank. If the water level is too low, the machine may not be able to brew the large size coffee.
  2. Make sure that the coffee filter is properly inserted into the filter holder. If the filter is not inserted properly, the machine may not be able to brew the large size coffee.
  3. Clean the coffee maker. The coffee maker may be clogged, which can prevent it from brewing the large size coffee properly. You can clean the coffee maker with a mild detergent and water.
  4. Descale the coffee maker. If the coffee maker is not descaled regularly, it can build up calcium deposits, which can prevent it from brewing the large size coffee properly. You can descale the coffee maker with a descaling solution.
If you have checked all of these things and the large size coffee is still not brewing properly, then you may need to contact Tchibo customer support for further assistance.
Here are some additional tips that might help:
  • Use fresh, cold water. Stale or warm water can affect the taste of the coffee.
  • Use a good quality coffee. Cheap coffee beans can make the coffee taste bitter.
  • Grind the coffee beans to a medium-coarse grind. A too fine grind can make the coffee taste bitter, while a too coarse grind can make the coffee taste weak.
  • Clean the coffee maker regularly. A dirty coffee maker can make the coffee taste bitter.
I hope these suggestions help!

Lavazza Jolie Pod Coffee Machine, the water in the dispenser leaks out of the machine, and no coffee comes out of the coffee pod

Here are some possible reasons why the water in your Lavazza Jolie Pod Coffee Machine leaks out of the machine and no coffee comes out of the coffee pod:
  • The water tank is not filled properly. Make sure that the water tank is filled to the correct level. The water level should be between the minimum and maximum marks on the water tank.
  • The coffee pod is not inserted properly. Make sure that the coffee pod is inserted into the machine properly. The coffee pod should be inserted all the way into the machine until it clicks into place.
  • The coffee pod is clogged. If the coffee pod is clogged, the water will not be able to flow through the pod and into the cup. Try using a different coffee pod or try cleaning the coffee pod.
  • The machine is not descaled properly. If the machine is not descaled regularly, it can build up calcium deposits, which can prevent the water from flowing through the machine properly. Try descaling the machine with a descaling solution.
  • The machine is defective. If you have checked all of the above and the problem persists, then the machine may be defective. In this case, you will need to contact Lavazza customer support for further assistance.
Here are some additional tips that might help:
  • Use fresh, cold water. Stale or warm water can affect the taste of the coffee.
  • Use a good quality coffee. Cheap coffee beans can make the coffee taste bitter.
  • Grind the coffee beans to a medium-coarse grind. A too fine grind can make the coffee taste bitter, while a too coarse grind can make the coffee taste weak.
  • Clean the coffee machine regularly. A dirty coffee machine can make the coffee taste bitter.

Coffee maker grinder. Works but coffee is very weak

Maybe the filer is clogged and needs to be cleaned out or replaced. Or The temperature of the water used during extraction is a big factor here in influencing how bitter or over-cooked or how weak the coffee will taste. Weak coffee can be a result of using water that is too cold . The ideal coffee brewing water temperature is around 195-205 degrees or about ~30 seconds off of the boil

Bitter taste

You will likely find the bitterness is a function of your coffee bean choice or the 'roast' component of that coffee. Darker roasts tend to taste bitter.

Why do some people put eggshells in their coffee?

Nowadays, this practice has become outdated. People used to use eggshells to help remove a certain amount of bitterness from their coffee. While coffee is quite bitter, eggshells are quite alkaline; therefore the combination of the two was said to produce a less bitter tasting cup of coffee.

My Machine Francis X6 has presented the problem of variation in the amount of water - quantity / volume of coffee in the cup when making coffee. Ouvir Ler foneticamenteDicionário - Ver...

If these rules are not heeded, then one will get anything
but a perfect espresso, because:
if the amount of ground coffee is less than 7 grams
an insufficient amount exists for extraction weak and watery
if the grain size distribution is too coarse
neither the solid nor the colloidal parts will be extracted weak and watery
if the ground coffee is not compacted
the colloidal parts will not be extracted weak and watery
if the coffee is too coarsely ground weak, watery, barely aromatic, sour, bitter
considerably less than 25% will be extracted and unpleasant, the aftertaste will not last long
if the water temperature is less than 97 Degrees Celsius
the extraction will be reduced predominantly sour
if the water does not have a minimum pressure of 9 bar
the colloidal particles will not be able to be extracted predominantly bitter
if the water temperature is much above 97 Degrees Celsius
the coffee will become scorched during the extraction bitter and woody, will smell charred

its a science and trial and error to get the right/perfect cup. due to where u live (atmospheric pressure) and temp/humidity. read this for a better understanding

10-22 urn

If you have the L1350/155C, the manual states 1-1/4 cups coffee for 12 (5 oz) cups, for 30 cups use 3 cups coffee using standard measuring cups. Take the stem & filter out when the coffee has finished brewing so the bitter oils do not get into the coffee.
