The machine will not move past STANDBY. The brew mechanism may not be closed properly. Make sure that a T DISC is placed on the T DISC holder and the brew mechanism is firmly closed.
The "Auto Mode" is not working. Bar code reader may not be able to read the T DISC label. Clean the bar code reading window. Replace the T DISC. You can still enjoy your preferred drink by using the "Manual Mode".
My cup is overflowing. Each drink has been formulated to produce the perfect amount of liquid. Be sure that you are using the right sized cup for your drink. Ensure that you use the following recommended cup sizes:
Espresso 3 oz / 90 ml cup
Filter Coffee, Café Crema, Cappuccino, Latte, Tea and Chocolate 11 oz / 325 ml cup
My cup doesn’t fit. The cup stand is too close to the brew mechanism. Try lowering the cup stand to fit your cup. You can also temporarily remove the cup stand and drip tray, leaving the backsplash in place.
Liquid is splashing out of the cup. Cup is placed too far away from the brew mechanism. Adjust the height of the cup stand up to ensure that the cup is closer to the brew mechanism.
The machine is leaking from the brew mechanism.
  1. T DISC is damaged or leaking.
  2. The piercing unit is not fitted properly.
Press the start/stop button to stop the brew cycle. Slowly open the brew mechanism, remove the T DISC, and clean the inside of the brew mechanism. Remove and refit the piercing unit.
The machine is leaking from the bottom.
  1. Drip tray is full of water.
  2. Backsplash is not properly fitted.
  3. Water expansion outlet is not properly descaled.

My drinks are brewing smaller than usual. The machine may require descaling. Descale the machine following the "Descaling" procedure.
