I find that its quite often down to how well you pack the hopper with your ground coffee, experiment by making an espresso with loosely packed coffee then with hard packed coffee and see if you can notice any difference with the crema(light brown foamy stuff on top).
If you don't notice any difference then its could be a problem with the pressure valve that releases the hot water (not enough pressure then weak coffee) and I would speak to Kenwood about it.

Weel as already said it depends on the measurements of water and coffee and also the brand of coffee you use. But are you cleaning it regularly? They need a thorough clean out at least once a month, you put vinegar about 2 eggcup fulls into thewater and no coffee (obviously) then you let all the water filter through the system amd then do it all over again twice with just water this time no vinegar. Try it see how good your coffee is next time.
I love coffee

Isn't it funny that we have all this modern technology but some of the most simple aplliances don't work?
The saying we can put a man on the moon but we can't......... is spot on.
Just look at toaster, how many of them actually work properly and don't burn?
How many Irons do people have to buy before someone manufacturers one that doesn't spew dirty water all over your clothes?
My coffee maker is so-so, try a better quality filter papers to ease the flow into the jug as it's the chug chug of the pump rather than a smooth flow that causes problems.
You could also try changing how fine the blend of coffee is, it might work better with a more course or finer powder type.

Regrettably the answer is that the machine is operated by you, and, like all the rest of us, you are fallible. I think this is implied by several of the other answers: you do have to measure accurately; you do have to keeep the machine clean; you must use high quality grounds; I like to warm the cup and the milk, because the coffee isn't always very hot.
I find the human factor very frustrating - if the auto timer function on the cooker doesn't work then its because I programmed it wrong; if the computer gets the wrong answer its because my fingers are too fat; if the car takes a wrong turn its because I'm the autopilot and I've got it wrong; etcetera, etcetera.

the best way to insure a good cup of coffee from any coffee maker is to never use chlorinated or fresh tap water... take a jug of tap water and let it sit overnight this will allow the chlorine to evaporate
off... Use your favorite coffee, be consistent also keep your coffee in the freezer it will stay fresher... Then use a measure spoon you like to use and stick with it ...

It would depend on whether or not you're measure the coffee the same amount each time, and whether or not you're adding the correct amount of water.
