Possible Causes

Worn brew head gasket, Misaligned capsule holder, Cracked capsule chamber, Excessive scale causing poor sealing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the machine to cool before working near the brew head; hot water can cause burns.

Step 1 – Clean brew head area

  • Open the capsule door and remove any capsule.
  • Wipe the brew head and gasket area with a damp cloth to remove coffee oils and residue.

Step 2 – Inspect gasket

  • Examine the rubber gasket around the capsule piercing area for cracks, flattening, or deformation.
  • If damaged, replace the gasket with a Lavazza-compatible brew head seal.

Step 3 – Descale

  • Perform a descaling cycle to remove scale that can prevent proper sealing.
