Possible Causes

Blocked steam vent, Clogged internal air channel, Faulty pressure relief valve, Excessive scale in heater causing steam lock

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely. Steam can cause severe burns.

  • Inspect vent openings: Check the top and sides of the coffee maker for small vent slots. Clean any dust or coffee residue blocking them.
  • Descale thoroughly: Run a full descaling cycle to remove mineral buildup that can trap steam in the heater block and tubing.
  • Check lid and gasket: On models with a sealed brew chamber, inspect the lid gasket for deformation or blockage of vent holes. Clean and reseat the gasket.
  • Internal inspection (advanced): Remove the housing to locate the steam/pressure relief valve and vent tubing. Ensure the tubing is not kinked or clogged. Replace a stuck or corroded relief valve.
