Why doesn't my Ascaso Coffee Maker make coffee or makes it very slowly?

  Regina FoxJul 26, 2025
  If your Ascaso Coffee Maker isn't dispensing coffee or the flow is very slow, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the water tank is filled and correctly positioned. The coffee grind might be too fine or tamped too firmly; try using espresso coffee and experimenting with tamping. Check for any obstructions in the filter or washer and clean them if necessary. Limescale buildup could also be the culprit, so clean the machine. For insufficient pressure, a qualified technician should increase the working pressure using the expansion valve.

  If the coffee from your 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 correctly. Try using espresso coffee and experiment with tamping. Also, the coffee itself might be old or of poor quality, so consider using freshly ground, high-quality coffee.

  If the coffee is dispensing too quickly from your Ascaso Coffee Maker when using ground coffee, it's likely due to a grind that's too coarse or insufficient tamping. Ensure you're using espresso coffee, experiment with tamping the coffee down, and fill the filter to the brim.

  Robert TurnerAug 12, 2025
  If your Ascaso Coffee Maker is making excessive noise, check if the water tank is empty or not correctly placed. Ensure the water supply is reaching the tank properly. Also, consider that old or very dry coffee can contribute to the noise; using fresh coffee may help.

  If coffee spills over the edges of the filter in your Ascaso Coffee Maker, ensure the filter holder is correctly placed. Clean any coffee grinds from the edge of the filter. Wipe the gasket with a damp cloth. If the issue persists, the gasket may be defective, and you should call the After-sales Service.
