Machine brews but only a small amount of coffee comes out; cup is half‑filled or less than usual.

Safety first: Unplug the machine and allow it to cool before disassembling the pod holder.

• Clean pod holder: Remove the pod holder and rinse thoroughly. Use a soft brush or pin to clear the tiny holes in the metal filter.
• Clean brew head: Wipe the rubber seal and outlet area. Remove any coffee residue.
• Descale: Run a full descaling cycle to clear internal restrictions.
• Check settings: Ensure you are pressing the correct 1‑cup or 2‑cup button and that any programmable volume settings are not reduced.
