  If your ARIETE Coffee Maker isn't dispensing coffee properly, several factors could be at play. First, the water or coffee lines might be clogged, try running the machine without a capsule to flush it. If the problem persists, descale the machine using Ariete NOCAL product. Ensure the water tank is correctly and securely fitted. Also, verify that the water level is adequate and refill if necessary. A faulty capsule could be the issue, so replace it. If the capsule is broken, clean the capsule holder with a sponge and insert a new one. Lastly, check and clean the capsule holder dispensing hole with a toothpick if it's clogged.

  If coffee is leaking from the edges of the capsule holder of your ARIETE Coffee Maker, it could be due to a few reasons. Coffee residue might be preventing a complete seal; clean the gasket with a sponge. Alternatively, the capsule itself may be faulty, so try replacing it. A clogged capsule holder dispensing hole can also cause this issue; clean it carefully with a toothpick.
