How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the machine before removing the brew group.
- Clean brew group: Remove and rinse the brew group thoroughly. Ensure all moving parts move freely.
- Adjust grind and dose: Use a slightly finer grind and ensure the machine is set to normal or strong coffee strength.
- Descale: Run a descaling cycle to restore proper pressure and flow characteristics.
- Observe pucks: After cleaning and adjustments, check if pucks are firmer. Slight moisture is normal; very soupy pucks may indicate internal issues.
- If no improvement: The brew group or pump may need calibration or replacement by a technician.
