the coffee will splash and leak from the gap of the
connection position.
When the coffee switch light stop flashing(the knob is on

doesn’t flow smoothly. Please check if the water is not
enough and add water in time. If not, please check if the
coffee powder is tamped too firmly as it will also cause the
espresso flow unsmoothly and comes out a little .
2. The portafilter should be removed after a while as the
machine need to relieve the pressure. Otherwise,the
steam will splash out because of the strong
pressure.Please remove in parallel.
3. Due to the high pressure, the water will fully penetrate
into the coffee powder, and it takes time for the water to
pass through and flow out of the coffee powder.
Therefore, it is normal that excess coffee will drip off.
