Possible Causes
Worn pump losing pressure, Brew head gasket leaking, Incorrect grind size (for filter models), Capsule not pierced correctly
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before internal inspection.
Steps:
- Check coffee dose: For filter models, ensure you are using the recommended coffee quantity and grind (medium). For capsule models, use compatible capsules only.
- Inspect brew head gasket: Replace if flattened or cracked to ensure proper sealing and pressure.
- Clean piercing needles: On capsule machines, clean the top and bottom piercing needles so capsules are fully opened.
- Descale: Scale can reduce effective pressure. Run a descaling cycle.
- Evaluate pump: If the pump sounds weak and coffee remains weak after cleaning and descaling, the pump may need replacement.
