Possible Causes

Flow meter miscalibration, sticky flow meter wheel, control PCB volume setting changed, user‑programmable volume set too high

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep the area dry to avoid slipping or electrical hazards from spills.

  • Reset volume (if supported): Many Senseo models allow reprogramming cup volume by holding the brew button while the desired amount is dispensed, then releasing to save.
  • Descale: Run a descaling cycle to ensure the flow meter spins freely and reports correctly.
  • Rinse cycles: Run several water‑only cycles to stabilize the flow measurement.
  • Service if persistent: If volumes remain erratic, the flow meter or control PCB may need replacement.
