    What to do if the Cup Filter falls out of my Dualit ESPRESSIVO Coffee Maker?

      If the Cup Filter falls out when you hit the knock box bang bar on your Dualit Coffee Maker, it might be because the Filter Holder handle is hitting the bang bar. Make sure to hit the bang bar with the Cup Filter, not the Filter Holder handle. Another reason could be that the Cup Filter is loose in the Filter Holder; ensure that the spring is in the Filter Holder.

      Robin KochAug 19, 2025
      If your Dualit Coffee Maker is leaking, it could be because some water missed the Water Tank Fill Hole and dripped through the water outlets underneath the machine; this is not a cause for concern. Another possible reason is how the Water Tank has been filled. Ensure the Water Tank is correctly situated.

      Jordan RayAug 22, 2025
      Your Dualit Coffee Maker's Filter Holder might not fit the Grouphead if you are using too much coffee; try using less coffee in the Filter Holder. Also, ensure that the Filter Holder is correctly aligned with the Grouphead by aligning the bayonets with the recesses in the Grouphead, which corresponds to the unlock symbol. Then, lift and twist the Filter Holder until it aligns with the lock symbol.

    Why is my coffee from Dualit ESPRESSIVO Coffee Maker too hot?
    • P

      If your coffee from the Dualit Coffee Maker is too hot, it could be because you are preheating your Filter Holder and cups; try not heating them. Also, make coffee before you steam. Alternatively, make a smaller, stronger coffee and add cold water. Another potential cause is making coffee immediately after steaming without priming the Boiler. In this case, prime the Boiler before making coffee, or make the coffee first, then use the Steam Function to steam or warm your milk.

    Why is my Dualit ESPRESSIVO Coffee Maker making a loud pumping noise?
    • C
      Carolyn LeeAug 27, 2025
      A loud and continuous pumping noise from your Dualit Coffee Maker usually means the machine is priming the Boiler. Ensure the Water Tank is correctly situated with the Water Tank Pipes in place. Priming the Boiler can be noisy, wait until the process is complete. This noise can also occur if the machine is new or has been stored for a while.

      If you experience coffee with no steam from your Dualit Coffee Maker, descale and clean the brewhead at least monthly. If you use your machine daily or live in a hard water area, do this more often.

      If you experience water flowing from the brewhead of your Dualit Coffee Maker, it could be due to a blockage. Remove the showerhead and clean the brewhead. To unblock the filter, use a small pin and gently push through the hole on the underside. After re-assembling, descale. Dispense water through the brewhead, ensuring no coffee is in the filter.

    Why is coffee leaking from the Brewhead of my Dualit ESPRESSIVO?
    • F
      fwilsonSep 7, 2025
      Coffee may leak from the Brewhead of your Dualit Coffee Maker for several reasons. It could be that the Brewhead or Showerhead is blocked, requiring you to clean the Showerhead. Another reason is that coffee grounds on the Filter Holder rim are preventing a proper seal; make sure to wipe the rim of the Filter Holder and Brewhead clean before inserting it into the machine. Also, ensure the Filter Holder is fully inserted and locked into the GroupHead. Sometimes, water may drip from the Brewhead when steaming; this is excess water left over from previous use and is not a cause for concern.
