Possible Causes

Insufficient coffee dose, Incorrect grind size, Worn brew unit seals, Low pump pressure

Safety: Unplug before brew unit maintenance.

Adjust settings: Increase coffee strength and adjust grinder to a slightly finer setting.
Clean brew unit: Remove and clean the brew group, paying attention to the filter screen and piston.
Lubricate seals: Apply food-grade silicone grease to brew unit piston seals to ensure proper compression.
Check pump: If pucks remain very wet, test pump pressure and replace the pump if weak.
