Possible Causes
Very fine grind setting, Overdosing basket, Clogged filter basket, Dirty shower screen
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Stop the shot if pressure spikes or flow stops to avoid overpressure.
Steps:
- Adjust the grinder to a coarser setting.
- Reduce the coffee dose to the recommended range for your basket size.
- Clean or replace the filter basket if holes are blocked.
- Remove and clean the shower screen and group head.
Resolution: Once resistance is reduced, the message should no longer appear. If it persists with reasonable grind and dose, inspect for internal blockages or a stuck OPV.
