Possible Causes

Grind set too fine, coffee strength set too high, brew temperature set to maximum, very dark roasted beans causing bitterness

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

User adjustments:

  • Set the grind one or two steps coarser and test.
  • Reduce the coffee strength or quantity in the Miele settings menu.
  • Lower the brew temperature setting if your model allows it.
  • Try a medium roast bean instead of very dark roasts.

Maintenance:

  • Clean the brew unit and coffee spouts to ensure no burnt oils are affecting taste.
