Possible Causes

Worn check valve, Scale in outlet path, Capsule holder not venting properly, High internal pressure due to restriction

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Use caution when removing the capsule holder; hot liquid may still be present.

  • Wait before removing capsule: Allow 30–60 seconds after brewing before opening the handle to let pressure drop.
  • Clean capsule holder: Rinse and soak the holder to clear any coffee oils and residues.
  • Descale: Perform a descaling cycle to improve internal flow and reduce residual pressure.

Persistent long dripping may indicate a worn internal check valve, which requires disassembly and replacement.
