Severin Restricted Outlet / Overheating in Thermoblock

Excessive steam and gurgling noises; coffee drips very slowly and is over-extracted.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Partial scale blockage in outlet, Very fine coffee grind, Blocked filter basket holes, Faulty thermostat allowing overheating

Safety first: Unplug and allow to cool before cleaning.

Use coarser grind: For Severin filter coffee makers, use medium grind, not espresso-fine.
Clean filter basket: Soak the metal basket in hot water with mild detergent and scrub the holes with a soft brush.
Descale: Run a descaling cycle to clear partial blockages in the thermoblock and outlet.
Observe temperature: If water seems excessively hot (lots of steam, burnt smell), the thermostat may be faulty and should be replaced.
