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.
