How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Hot coffee can spill and burn. Stop brewing immediately if overflow occurs.
- Reduce dose: Use the recommended amount of coffee for your Magimix filter basket and avoid overfilling.
- Adjust grind: Use a slightly coarser grind suitable for your machine.
- Clean filter basket: Remove the basket and soak it in hot water, then scrub the holes with a brush.
- Clean group head: Wipe the group head and run a blank shot to clear any blockage.
If overflow persists with correct technique, the pressure valve or internal passages may be restricted and need service.
