Possible Causes

Boiler tube retaining water due to partial blockage, Filter basket drain hole partially clogged, Excessive condensation in outlet tube

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps to try:

  • Clean filter basket: Ensure the drain hole and drip-stop valve are fully clear.
  • Descale: Run a descaling cycle to clear partial blockages in the boiler tube that can cause slow siphoning.
  • Allow full drain: After brewing, leave the machine undisturbed for 10–15 minutes to allow all residual water to exit.

Minor dripping for a few minutes is normal; continuous dripping for longer periods indicates a restriction that should be addressed.
