Why doesn't my Ascaso BAR 1GR POD dispense coffee, or does so very slowly?

  Patricia PowellAug 14, 2025
  If your Ascaso Coffee Maker is dispensing coffee very slowly or not at all, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the water tank is adequately filled and correctly positioned. If that's not the issue, the coffee grind might be too fine or tamped too firmly; try using espresso coffee and experimenting with the tamping pressure. Also, check for any obstructions in the filter or washer and clean them if necessary. Limescale buildup could also be a culprit, so clean the machine. For insufficient pressure, a qualified technician should increase the pressure using the expansion valve.

  If your coffee from the Ascaso Coffee Maker lacks creaminess, it could be due to several reasons. The coffee grind might be too coarse, or it hasn't been tamped down correctly. To fix this, try using espresso coffee and experiment with tamping it more or less firmly. Also, the coffee itself could be old or of poor quality, so consider changing your coffee and using freshly ground beans.

  If the coffee is flowing too quickly from your Ascaso Coffee Maker when using ground coffee, it's likely that the grind is too coarse, and/or the coffee hasn't been tamped down properly, or you are not using enough ground coffee. To resolve this, use espresso coffee and experiment with tamping the coffee down more or less. Make sure to fill the filter to the brim.

  If the milk is not frothing in your Ascaso Coffee Maker, the steam nozzle might be clogged. Clean it. Also, make sure you're using fresh, cold milk straight from the refrigerator, as the milk may have gone off or is too warm.

  If the coffee is coming out too quickly when using pods in your Ascaso Coffee Maker, it could be due to a coarse grind, insufficient coffee, or improper packing within the pod. To fix this, regulate the pressure using the expansion valve at the intake to each coffee group. This adjustment should be performed by a qualified technician.

  If there's excessive water remaining in the filter after brewing coffee with your Ascaso Coffee Maker, it's likely due to the coffee not being tamped down correctly or not enough coffee being used in the filter. Ensure you tamp down the coffee correctly and add more coffee to the filter.

Why does coffee come over the edges of the filter in my Ascaso Coffee Maker?
- K
  Karl GuerreroSep 6, 2025
  If coffee is overflowing from the edges of the filter in your Ascaso Coffee Maker, it could be due to several reasons. The filter holder may not be placed correctly; ensure you follow the correct adjustment procedure. Coffee grinds on the edge of the filter can also cause this, so clean them off. Additionally, a dirty or defective gasket can be the culprit. Clean the gasket with a damp cloth. If the issue persists, contact the After-sales Service.

  If the coffee isn't dispensing from your Ascaso Coffee Maker (BAR KAP), make sure there's a capsule inside the drawer and that the drawer is completely closed. If the issue persists, check the coffee outlet for any obstruction and/or the state of the membrane mechanism. This should be carried out by a qualified technician.
