My Philips Barista Brew Espresso Machine is leaking
Published on 25 July 2025
Water into the drip tray
If you notice some water in the drip tray or if it fills up quicker than expected, this is normal and does not indicate a leak. This happens because your Philips Barista Brew Espresso Machine drains rinsing water from the inside directly into the drip tray after brewing coffee or frothing milk.
There is clear water underneath or at the back
Ensure that the water tank is not overfilled when placing it on the machine. If the water tank is not fully inserted, clear water may leak underneath or at the back. To fix this, remove the water tank and insert it again, pushing it as far as possible.
Coffee leakage at the portafilter brew head position
If you see coffee leaking from the portafilter bracket, ensure that you rotate the portafilter anticlockwise and firmly lock it into the brewing position.
The filter basket needs to have its upper edge clean from coffee particles and must be inserted properly into the portafilter. Make sure that you don't overfill the filter basket with ground coffee.
