PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
• The filter basket may be
blocked.
Use the pin on the end of
the provided cleaning tool
to unblock the hole(s). If
the hole(s) remain blocked,
dissolve a cleaning tablet in
hot water and soak filter basket
and portafilter in solution for
approx. 20 minutes. Rinse
thoroughly.
• Machine needs to be
decalcified.
Refer to “Decalcifying”,
page 24.
Espresso runs out too
quickly.
• Coffee is ground too
coarsely.
Use slightly finer grind.
• Not enough coffee in the
filter basket.
Increase dose of coffee. As a
guide to dose, the top edge of
the metal cap on the tamper
should be level with the top
of the filter basket AFTER the
coffee has been tamped with
30-40lbs (15-20kg) of pressure.
• Coffee tamped too
lightly.
Tamp between 30-40lbs or
15-20kg of pressure.
Espresso runs out
around the edge of
the portafilter.
• Portafilter not inserted
in the group head
correctly.
Ensure portafilter is completely
inserted and rotated until
resistance is felt.
• There are coffee
grounds around the
filter basket rim.
Clean excess coffee from the
rim of the filter basket to ensure
a proper seal in group head.
• Too much coffee in
the filter basket.
Lower dose of coffee. As a
guide to dose, the top edge of
the metal cap on the tamper
should be level with the top
of the filter basket AFTER the
coffee has been tamped with
30-40lbs (15-20kg) of pressure.
•
The silicone seal
surrounding the
shower screen needs
to be replaced to
ensure the portafiler is
properly secured into
the group head.
