PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE WHAT TO DO
Espresso runs out
around the edge
of the portafilter
and/or
Portafilter comes
out of the group
head during an
extraction
• Portafilter not inserted in
the group head correctly.
• Ensure portafilter is rotated to the right
until the handle is past the centre and is
securely locked in place. Rotating past the
centre will not damage the silicone seal.
• There are coffee grounds
around the filter basket rim.
• Clean excess coffee from the rim of the
filter basket after grinding to ensure
a proper seal in group head.
• Filter basket rim is wet
or underside of portafilter
lugs are wet. Wet surfaces
reduce the friction
required to hold the
portafilter in place whilst
under pressure during an
extraction.
• Always ensure filter basket and portafilter
are dried thoroughly before filling with
coffee, tamping and inserting into the
group head.
