Espresso Coffee Machine Troubleshooting-Clogged portafilter baskets

- "The coffee pours out very slowly".
" The pump seems to have stopped functioning".
" I can hear a muffled whirr of the pump, but no coffee is pouring out".
"The coffee machine has stopped working!".
These are common statements we get from customers who contact our customer service helpline.
The problem is usually a clogged portafilter basket and the solution is simply replacing the basket with a new one.
Over time, with the daily use of your machine, the micropores in the baskets get clogged with coffee powder and with continuous exposure to heat, the coffee powder hardens and eventually blocks the pores leading to blocking off the flow of water.
This 'choking' is the cause of a slow pour or no extraction at all.
So how do you know if you have a clogged basket?
Its pretty simple.
We have provided you with two baskets.
One for a single cup and one for a double cup.
You're probably using one of these on a regular basis.
Take the other 'spare' basket and check if it is a single or double shot basket. Fill it with the corresponding quantity of coffee powder (very important), so one spoon of coffee powder for a single shot basket and two spoons for a double shot basket.
Pull an espresso shot. If it works and you get a smooth, neat espresso, then your regular use basket is definitely clogged and needs replacement.

So after 2 mornings trying to clean my machine lol I swapped to a different filter basket and it worked 😂 thankyou kind sir
Glad to know it worked for you.
Soak them in Viakal liquid overnight, and then wash them thoroughly with hot water the following day. I make the mistake of buying new ones and then tried this, and it removes the debris and they work perfectly again :)
can you clean them out in anyway ?
Hi Andrew,
Double-walled baskets are tough to clean. We've tried all the tricks, boiling the baskets in hot water for several minutes to try and dissolve the coffee, holding the basket over an open flame to burn the coffee off...
Nothing really works satisfactorily.
Naked baskets are a different story. Burning the coffee works really well, the coffee turns black and brittle and a few strikes of the basket on your kitchen mantle worktop and the stubborn coffee powder falls off.
My filter basket has a screw and the coffeemaker came with a filter cleaning tool (thin wire to unclog the holes). The owners manual shows a pictorial of removing the bottom screw in filter cup, then a picture of a removed stainless steel sieve, and then a pic of using the pin to push out coffee grounds clogging the holes. I was hoping to see a video of how to do it, because I have removed the bottom screw but forgot how to remove the stainless steel sieve. Could you post how to do that instead of replacing the filter basket?
Are you falling asleep
Lolllll or look in the owner’s manual which shows how to troubleshoot this issue with ease.
No mention of cleaning the basket only where to buy a new one .
They are easy cleaned .
Shame on this misleading video.
Can I make 50 to 100 cup a day
Hi Leki, this product is not meant for commercial use.
Even the warranty would be void if this is used in a commercial setup
