Possible Causes

Low water level causing air ingestion, Limescale causing uneven boiling, Loose heater mounting, Kinked hose causing intermittent flow

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep hands away from hot surfaces and steam vents.

  • Fill tank properly: Always fill the water reservoir above the minimum mark before brewing.
  • Descale: Perform a full descaling cycle to remove scale that can cause noisy boiling.
  • Check placement: Ensure the machine is on a level, stable surface to reduce vibration noise.
  • Inspect hoses (advanced): If comfortable opening the base, check that hoses are not kinked and that the heater is firmly mounted.
