Brewing problems:
The Shot is Pouring Too Slowly:
• Tamp pressure was too rm
• Too much coee is in the basket
• The grind is too ne
• Diusion screens are clogged; clean or replace
• Pump pressure is too low. Ensure that it is set between 8-9.5 bar
• Brew jet is clogged; when operang properly, 60ml water should ow out within 8 seconds
The Shot is Pouring Too Quickly:
• Tamp pressure is too light
• Not enough coee in the basket
• Grind is too coarse
• Portalter baskets are worn or cracked; replace
• Brew temperature is too cold
Crema is Thin with Large Bubbles and Tastes Astringent:
• Coee is old
• Grinder burrs are dull
• Brew temperature may be set too low
Diuser Screen is Loose:
• This is most likely caused by over lling the portalter basket with coee. This causes the expanding
coee puck to push against the diuser and bend the screen-to-screw contact point away from the
screw.
No Pump Pressure When Water Flows from the Group:
• Check the programmed preinfusion me. The pump will not acvate unl the preinfusion me has com-
pleted.
• Pump relay may have failed. Have a technician perform further diagnoscs.
The Pump Comes On, Gauge Reads Full Pressure, but No Water Comes Out:
• Diuser screen/screw, or jet is clogged
• Soap residue not fully ushed aer cleaning has glued the valve closed (tap the valve body gently).
• Brew solenoid has been sealed shut by dried soap or has failed.
