Troubleshooting
No water dispensing from brew head
Ensure the water tank is full and properly seated. Check if the brew head is clogged; run a cleaning cycle or consult the manual for backflushing instructions.
Weak or watery espresso
Verify that the coffee is ground finely enough and tamped with adequate pressure. Check for leaks around the portafilter seal. Ensure the brew head is at the correct temperature.
Steam wand not producing enough steam
Ensure the steam boiler is fully heated. Check the steam wand for blockages; use a needle to clear any clogged holes. Make sure the steam knob is fully open.
Machine not powering on
Confirm the power cord is securely plugged into the machine and a working outlet. Check your home's circuit breaker.
Leaking from the portafilter
Ensure the portafilter is securely locked into the group head. Check the rubber gasket for damage or wear. Grind coffee finer or tamp with more pressure to create a tighter puck.
