Senseo
Low Extraction / Brew Pressure Loss
Coffee tastes weak or watery even with correct pods.

Possible Causes
Worn pump producing low pressure, leaking brew head seal, incorrect pod holder, pods not compressed properly due to dirty holder
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before cleaning internal parts.
- Use correct pods and holder: Ensure you are using Senseo‑compatible pods and the correct 1‑cup or 2‑cup pod holder.
- Clean pod holder: Remove oils and residue from the pod holder and metal filter to allow proper flow resistance.
- Check brew head seal: Inspect the rubber seal around the brew head for cracks or flattening; replace if worn.
- Descale: Run a descaling cycle to restore proper pressure and temperature.
- Service pump: If coffee remains weak and the pump sounds different (very quiet or irregular), the pump may need replacement.
