Coffee has no crema — Coffee bean or grinder setting issue

What does No crema mean?

Your coffee is lacking the desirable crema layer, which indicates a problem with the coffee beans themselves or the grinding level setting.

• Type of coffee is not optimal for crema production
• Coffee beans are no longer fresh
• Grinding level is not appropriate for the coffee beans

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Use a coffee variety with a higher proportion of Robusta beans or beans with a darker roast.

2. 2

   Ensure you are using fresh coffee beans; old beans lose their ability to produce good crema.

3. 3

   Adjust the grinder to a finer setting to help create more crema.

4. 4

   Check that the water temperature setting is appropriate for the chosen coffee type.
