7. Troubleshooting

• No water coming out after long inactivity? Use the inflator to inject water into the tank inlet.
• Leaking during brewing?
  1. Pod may be damaged or not supported.
  2. Grounds too fine or overfilled (max 15g).
  3. Ensure handle is fully locked.
• Cup size doesn't seem right? Minor variation is normal. It depends on pod type, water temperature, and pressure.
• No crema or weak crema?
  1. Try a finer grind, 13–15g dose, and firmer tamp.
  2. Check for damage to the adapter.
• Handle won't lift? High pressure from some pods or too fine ground. Wait until the pressure fully releases.
• No coffee with DG adapter? Use the cleaning pin to clear the outlet needle on the adapter.
