Possible Causes
Leaking brew head gasket, Capsule holder outlet misaligned, Internal bypass valve leak, User removing cup too early
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Allow hot liquids to cool before emptying the drip tray.
- Observe during brew: Watch where liquid is coming from—around the capsule holder, from the spout, or from internal vents.
- Clean and inspect gasket: Clean the brew head gasket and capsule holder. Replace the gasket if worn.
- Check capsule insertion: Ensure capsules are inserted correctly and the holder is fully pushed in.
If most of the water bypasses directly into the tray despite correct use and a good gasket, an internal bypass valve or seal may be leaking and requires service.
