Espresso Coming Out Too Slow Or Not At All
Install the backflush disc into your portafilter and then lock it into the group head. Raise the
brew lever to check the pump pressure. Recommended setting with the backflush disc is
9 -10 bar. Adjust the pump pressure if necessary. Please refer to the maintenance section
of the owner’s manual for instructions.
If pump pressure is good then try adjusting the grinder to a coarser setting.
Make sure the longer silicone water line in the reservoir is at the bottom of the reservoir
below the water level.
Make sure the screen on the end of the silicone water line in the reservoir is not clogged
with debris.
Be sure the insert basket is not over filled with coffee and you are tamping with no more
than 30lbs of pressure.
