Water is leaking out from the side of the portafilter when water is dispensed
Hello everyone,
Since yesterday, I’ve been the proud owner of a new Linea Mini. When we picked it up from the dealer, we unpacked it together, carried out the initial set-up, and then brewed three coffees and frothed some milk. After that, we packed the machine away and drove home.
Once home, I connected the machine full of anticipation, waited a moment and started the first brew. Unfortunately, I was then horrified to discover that water was squirting out from the side of the clamped portafilter on my Linea Mini.
It doesn’t matter whether there’s coffee grounds in the portafilter or not. I’ve also clamped the portafilter as far to the right as shown in the video, but even that hasn’t made any difference.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this, before I have to drive the 30-kilo machine 60 kilometres back to the dealer? I’m really at a loss.
