Possible Causes

Drip stop valve not sealing fully, Excess water retained in shower head, Clogged or slow-draining filter basket, Worn brew head gasket

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow hot parts to cool before cleaning.

Steps:

  • Clean drip stop: Remove and rinse the filter basket and drip stop valve thoroughly to ensure smooth movement and sealing.
  • Check coffee grind: Use a slightly coarser grind to prevent overfilling and slow draining.
  • Clean brew head: Wipe the underside of the brew head and any gasket surfaces to remove coffee residue.
  • Replace worn parts: If the drip stop or gasket is visibly worn or deformed, replace the affected parts.
