i have water in the filter basket after use

[htc8p]

is it normal to get some water in the filter basket after use? isnt there not supposed to be any water in the filter basket after use? but i already put quite a lot of coffee grounds and tamped down firmly...i hope you can help me out. thanks!

you ground too fine, tamped too hard or both!

Assuming you're talking about after the shot is pulled, it could also be the fact that your machine has no 3-way solenoid to pull the excess brew pressure off the puck after extraction. Therefore you will have a somewhat soupy puck. Later!

Your grind is too fine

The paper filters may clog up if the grind is too fine. Also, some beans may have cocao or spices on the beans, when you grind them up the cocoa will gum up the filter.
