Display shows E07 and the machine stops mid-brew; sometimes accompanied by a loud click from inside.

Safety first: Unplug the machine and allow it to cool fully. Steam systems can retain pressure and cause burns if opened too soon.

• Clean steam outlets: If your T-fal coffee maker has a steam nozzle or cappuccino function, remove any detachable tips and soak them in warm, soapy water. Use a pin to clear any blocked holes.
• Descale steam circuit: Run a descaling cycle according to the user manual, ensuring the solution passes through both the coffee and steam circuits if applicable.
• Do not block vents: Make sure steam vents on the top or sides of the machine are not covered by towels, cabinets, or other objects.

Persistent E07 suggests a defective pressure sensor or safety valve. These components operate under pressure and should be serviced only by qualified technicians.
