Why does espresso leak around the portafilter on my Breville Coffee Maker?
- CChristopher MoranAug 20, 2025
If espresso runs out around the edge of the portafilter or the portafilter comes out of the group head during extraction on your Breville Coffee Maker, it could be due to these reasons: * The portafilter isn't inserted correctly: Ensure the portafilter is rotated to the right until the handle is securely locked in place. * Coffee grounds around the filter basket rim: Clean excess coffee from the rim of the filter basket to ensure a proper seal in the group head. * Wet filter basket rim or portafilter lugs: Always ensure the filter basket and portafilter are dried thoroughly before filling with coffee, tamping, and inserting into the group head. * Too much coffee in the filter basket: After tamping, trim the coffee dose using the Razor™ dose trimming tool.
