Possible Causes

Residual water in outlet arm and tubing, Slightly tilted machine causing siphon effect, Faulty check valve not sealing, Overfilled reservoir above max line

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Normal handling precautions; no live parts accessed.

  • Level the machine: Ensure the coffee maker is on a level surface so water does not siphon unintentionally.
  • Check fill level: Do not fill the reservoir above the maximum indicated level.
  • Inspect outlet arm: Remove and empty any water trapped in the outlet arm. Clean and reinstall.
  • Check valve (advanced): If water continues to drip when the unit is off, the internal check valve near the boiler may be leaking and require replacement.
