Topics:

• Bad coffee taste and/or lack of crema
• EC24 Coffee System makes poor tasting coffee
• The head of the coffee from a Wolf Coffee System is not frothy
• Coffee has bitter taste

Cause:

• Poor quality coffee
• Coffee grind is too fine
• Coffee grind is too coarse
• Change in coffee brand
• Mill blades have become worn

Troubleshooting:

For brand new EC24 Coffee Systems:

1. Coffee bean quality has a lot to do with the finished cup of coffee. Try a premium bean.
2. Adjust coarseness to 7 while grinder is running.
3. Make two or three cups of coffee and check grounds again.
4. If grind is still too fine, do “Grinder Set-Up.”
5. Adjust coarseness to 4 while grinder is running.
6. Make two or three cups of coffee and check grounds again.
7. If no variation, adjust coarseness to 1 while grinder is running.
8. Check grounds again.
9. If grind is still too coarse, do “Grinder Set-Up.”

For existing EC24 Coffee Systems:

1. A change in coffee brand may require a change in the grind setting.
2. Adjust coarseness to 4 while grinder is running.
3. Make two or three cups of coffee and check grounds again. If no variation, adjust coarseness to 1 while grinder is running.
4. Check grounds again.

Answer:

Coffee taste is affected by the quality of the bean and the coarseness of the grind. If the taste is disagreeable:

• Try a different bean.
  
• Change the coarseness of the grind. Bitter taste can be caused by too fine a grind.
