TROUBLESHOOTING If your Precision Press Coffee Maker should fail to operate as expected, please check the following: - If coffee is too bold: Be sure to serve the coffee immediately after your preferred brew time is complete, or the coffee will continue to extract, making it stronger. Other possible fixes: Grind your coffee at a coarser grind level, and/or steep for less time. - If coffee is too weak: Either grind your beans to a finer consistency or brew for more time. - If coffee tastes bitter or unpleasant after use: Taste can be impacted if the Precision Press Coffee Maker isn't thoroughly cleaned. Make certain that all soap, grounds, and oily residue is thoroughly rinsed off all parts after each use. See the "Care and cleaning" section for more information. - If there's too much resistance when plunging your grind may be too fine. - If there's too little resistance when plunging your grind may be too coarse. If the problem is not due to one of the above items, see the "Arranging for Service" chapter in the "Warranty and service" section. Do not return the Precision Press Coffee Maker to the retailer, as they do not provide service. 8 | TROUBLESHOOTING
