Possible Causes

Clogged outlet spout, Coffee oils buildup in capsule chamber, Valve not venting properly, Capsule not ejecting cleanly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the machine before cleaning the spout or capsule area.

  • Clean outlet spout: Wipe the spout with a damp cloth and use a small brush to remove dried coffee.
  • Rinse capsule chamber: Run a water-only cycle without a capsule to flush the chamber and outlet.
  • Descale: Run a descaling cycle to clear internal valves and passages.
  • Check capsule ejection: Ensure used capsules drop freely into the container and are not stuck, which can trap residual coffee.

Persistent dripping may indicate a worn outlet valve or seal that needs replacement.
