Completely blocked coffee spouts, Clogged brew group filter, Severe scale in coffee circuit, Jammed diverter valve

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and let the machine cool before cleaning.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Clean spouts: Use a pin to clear all outlet holes. Then run several rinse cycles.
  • Clean brew group: Remove and rinse the brew group, paying special attention to the metal filter and coffee outlet channel.
  • Descale thoroughly: Run a full descaling cycle, ensuring descaler passes through the coffee outlet as instructed.

When to call a technician: If no coffee flows after cleaning and descaling, the diverter valve or internal tubing may be blocked and require professional service.
