Water leakes over the top of my rap...




By brooketello on Mar 17, 2009

" "
without the rapporto filter on it seems as though the water is coming out correctly, but when I put it on with the coffee in it it just spews out of the top never coming through the little holes that it is supossed to come out of. I have a Starbucks Barista Type SIN 006

I forgot to mention in my earlier post, to also check the brew head gasket, use your tool to clean the grounds out of the gasket, it can cause the filter to not seat properly.
Remove the filter, and insert the gasket cleaner tool.
Twist the tool (the cup looking thing with the phillips head attachment on it) with the notches up into the gasket, twist back and forth until you get as much grounds out as possible. Then clean the gasket with a warm wet cloth until no residue shows on your cloth. Do this cleaning every couple weeks if you use the machine a lot.
Also be sure to run a brew cycle thru an empty filter after the last use for the day. This really keeps evrything clean in your filter and shower screen.

- Sorry , my earlier post did not show up.
Too much coffee in the filter, (use 1/8 in from the top), too fine a grind (use course like grains of salt) , or a clogged filter (clean all the screens and check the filter to see if holes are clogged.)
This site has much great info: www.partsguru.com, and call Starbucks service, they are great!! And will talk you thru many repairs right on the phone.
