When I make capuccino fine grains of coffee come through, spoiling the taste.

- Thanks. I have checked the basket. Everything seems to be in order, no leaks. I have recently descaled, cleaned all the parts, removed old grains from around the base where the basket fits. I am using a La Pavoni manual machine, that relies on a pressure pump.

- I tried soaking that, thanks. Still having the problem. Doesn't make sense!Perhaps I should replace the portafilter basket thing, although it's very expensive.

Check the basket and the portafilter if you are using a manual machine, and if using a superauto check the screen in the brew unit for damage.

- Remove the basket from the portafilter or soak it up to the handle in espresso machine soap(do not let the plastic handle soak in the soap just the metal part).

- The basket for the portafilter should not cost more than about $10. One more stupid question, since I am not able to see the machine, does it leak around the portafilter when making coffee.
