If you notice coffee/water leaking from your Manual Espresso coffee machine, please try to establish in which area the machine is leaking. This is important, as the solution depends on where the leakage occurs.
Troubleshooting
My Manual Espresso coffee machine is leaking.
Where does the leakage occur?
- Coffee spillage/leaking near the pressurized filter holder.
- Plain water under the coffee machine.
1. Coffee spillage/leaking near pressurized filter holder.
a) You have not attached the pressurized filter holder to the brew unit properly.
b) The upper edge of the filter holder and/or filter holder intake are not clean.
c) There is too much ground coffee applied in the ground coffee filter.
d) The wrong filter holder has being applied (E.S.E. filter- vs pre-ground filter holder).
e) The E.S.E. adapter & E.S.E. filter holder have being applied in the wrong order. (see below picture for the right order)
2. Plain water under the coffee machine.
Please verify if the water container is inserted correctly. Every time when re-inserting the water container in the machine, push it firmly down till the bottom and the reference mark, see red arrow becomes visible in the picture below.
