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.
