My single cup portofilter on my ECM Giotto suddendly is pouring more coffee then it should. I'm using the same grind I've been using forever. My other portofilter (2 cup) works fine and still produces the right amount of coffee. Nothing has changed except the single cup is now pouring a watery soup of 2 to 3 ounces instead of the measured 1 ounce in 24 seconds. I've not changed the grind, or the amount of coffee I normally put in the filter. The portofilter does not appear to be dammaged. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Have you checked the Thermostat on the unit in the tank if it is stuck it will cause the tank to over heat and pop off the steam valve?? there should be some resettable overheat protectors as well. Has the preassure relief valve been replaced as well??

Step 1. Have a good cup of coffee (but not that instant sh*t)
Step 2. Look at the website page you are on more closely, and notice the lack of questions regarding Holdens, and cars in general.
Step 3. Don't take this too seriously.

Cheers, mate.

It could be a faulty machine, what is your grind setting? Make sure your using the dual wall single cup as a test. Set the grind to around 13 and grind your own beans, don't use supermarket bought beans or preground coffee. Both are garbage.
Also if your using the dual wall basket, make sure that you leave the dial guage in the dual wall setting. Then tamp the coffee so it sits roughly 3-5mm below the rim, this is what I have found is best for this unit.
Then secure group head in to unit, press single cup and you should hopefully get a pressure reading, if it isn't going up you are under extracting and your grind is prob to coarse (correct me if I'm wrong), I've found 13 is not to coarse not to fine. Shouldn't feel like fine sand, when coarse but not powdery.
If the gauge does not move in to the grey area your unit is most likely faulty.

Check the shower screen and diffuser in the head, they might be blocked, if not, check the metering jet at the top of the head(large nut) CAREFUL, make sure machine is off and cool before removing, use a paperclip or pipe cleaner to clear blockage. If not blocked then you will have to check the brew solenoid.

I have one too and what I do is: turn all 3 switches on and while I'm waiting for the "ready" light to come on I go ahead and pour the milk into my frothing pitcher and prep my espresso basket.
After the "ready" light comes on I install my espresso basket and turn the handle to the "left" so no liquid starts coming out.
Next, I take an empty coffee cup and hold it under the steam nozzle and start opening the steam valve until I get only steam instead of a stream of hot water. Once you have steam, close the valve, put your pitcher of milk under the steamer and froth as usual to around 150 degrees.

Replace the group gasket.

normally when that hapen is the coffee is grinded to fine water has trouble filtering thrue it try corser one and coffee filter pierre

This is a real problem with these coffee makers, and there's not much that can be done. However, there is a work around: before brewing, just hit the button to brew 1-4 cups. It'll still brew a whole pot, it'll use all the water, the coffee will taste no different, and you can still program it however you'd like. Cheers!

What you see is condensed stem comming out and no water. The pump is not sucking from the tank as ther is an air bubble in suction line. Still want coffe and don't want to clean your machine??? Flick up the lever with no group in place. Steam comes first then nothing. Pump is running and - voila - water comes as air bubble is gone. (Specially the first cup , never the following ones.) Now put back the group and brew your espresso. The machine is full of scale and neds total clean - by hand./// Olev
