How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker and ensure it is cool before inspection.
- Empty reservoir: Remove and empty the water tank when the machine is not in use to prevent dripping.

- Clean brew head: Wipe the brew head and shower plate to remove any mineral deposits.
If dripping continues even with an empty and clean system, the internal check valve may need replacement.
