- 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.Aug 01, 2009
- 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.

this is the first time i've opened the machine out of the box. i'm trying to get it started. Yet the red light stays permanently on. I have beans in the hopper. Water in the tank. The brew group is in place. Yet the light stays on. ... We have done a test, and see that it must be something to do with the water tank, as if any of the other elements are removed, the light blinks... yet whether the water tank is in or out, the red light just stays solid...please advise!
