If your Philips Baristina Espresso Machine is leaking, learn about the possible causes and solutions below.
The portafilter is leaking drops of water or coffee
It is normal to have some coffee or water left in the portafilter after cleaning or emptying it.

To prevent this, empty the portafilter after each brew, rinse it, and then shake off any excess water to avoid any leakage.

If you find clear water under or on the back of the machine:
The water container may have been overfilled, and excess water was spilled when placing it back into the machine.

The portafilter is leaking water during brewing coffee
If water is leaking around the portafilter during brewing, it means that the portafilter was not emptied before starting a new brew. Always empty the portafilter before you start a new brew and make sure there is no ground coffee remaining in the portafilter before you start the grinding and brewing process.
