Troubleshooting
Coffee is not flowing or dripping slowly.
Check the water tank to ensure it's filled and properly seated. If using ground coffee, check if the grind is too fine or if the coffee is over-tamped, which can block water flow. Descaling might also be necessary if mineral buildup is obstructing the internal pipes.
No steam or weak steam from the wand.
Ensure the machine has reached its proper operating temperature for steam (usually indicated by an indicator light). Check if the steam nozzle is blocked; clear any dried milk residue with a small pin or a specialized cleaning tool. Ensure the water tank is filled.
Espresso tastes weak or watery.
If using ground coffee, try a finer grind setting or increase the amount of coffee used. Ensure you are tamping the coffee firmly and evenly. If using ESE pods, ensure they are correctly inserted and not expired. Descaling may also improve extraction.
