  • Follow prompts: Always empty the grounds container when the machine requests it, even if it appears not full.
  • Clean container and area: Wash the container and wipe the area where it seats to ensure proper alignment.
  • Service brew group: Clean and lubricate the brew group so it ejects pucks cleanly into the container.
