Possible Causes

Clogged top or bottom needle with coffee grounds, Bent or dull piercing needle, Misaligned pod holder, Pod lid not fully closed

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool. Be careful of sharp needles.

Steps:

  • Remove the pod holder and rinse it thoroughly. Use a paper clip to gently clear any blockage in the top and bottom needles.
  • Inspect the needles for bending or damage. Do not use excessive force when cleaning.
  • Ensure the pod is seated flat in the holder and the lid is fully closed until it clicks.

If pods still are not punctured correctly, the pod holder/needle assembly may need replacement.
