My Solis 5000 does not produce a normal cup of coffee anymore, only a few drops in the cup and some very wet grounds in the drawer. The filters are clean, the water does come out when the machine is primed from the frothing wand. What could be the problem?

HI
That is a stripped thumbscrew. You need a new one. When it starts to brew, the stripped thumbscrew pushes up and allows the coffee to fill the head and dredge drawer.
The plastic rod that has 2 small hooks on the end and has ribs around the opposite end is your thumbscrew. It holds the filter screen in place. There is suppose to be a small round nut that is molded into the position between the legs with the hooks. If you use the key to tighten the thumbscrew you will pull the nut out and then the thumbscrew will pop out of the brew head. Check the stem of the filter screen. If you have an item that is about 3/8 of an inch long and has a grove in the middle and small bumps on it, that’s the nut. You need a new thumbscrew. Remove the old nut on the stem before putting it in the new thumbscrew. Remember it’s a thumbscrew, so it only needs to be finger tight. The key is for removing only.
Testimonial: "nailed it! Now I just need a new thumbscrew"
SOURCE: Drip tray is filling up with water sooner than in
If the drip tray is filling with clear water, the drain plug under the injector is clogged. Clean it with a toothpick or shoot some water through it with a syringe. This comes from sweet coffee beans (Mexican, Vietnameese, etc.)

HI
The most common problem for leaking underneath the machine is the boiler, but there can be other problems. If the water is dirty, there is a drain behind the brew unit that gets clogged with coffee residue, If its clear, its probably the boiler. If its the boiler it needs replacing. Check ebay.
SOURCE: brewing cycle and upper filter?
Be sure your metal strainer in the coffee puck funnel isn't clogged. Check you grind level adjustments also.
Best Wishes,

I hope you found your answer in the meantime. If not, here's a page of manuals from Soli. The Master pro does not seem to be in english, but your problem might be covered in a similar manual. Here's the link:
