point to a machine defect. Expect watery coffee pucks or some extra water in the coffee ground container: 1). During first time use as auto-dosing system is still adapting. 2). After
switching to a different blend of coffee beans or adjusting the grind settings, just brew some extra cups. 3). After changing machine settings as; grind setting, coffee volume and
aroma setting. As a coarse grind setting, higher coffee volume or a lighter aroma setting will lead to a waterier coffee puck.
