De’Longhi portafilter keeps falling off mid-brew. Any fix?
I’ve got this old De’Longhi machine and recently the portafilter has stopped staying locked in place. It ends up coming loose and falling off mid-brew.
It doesn’t seem to be caused by limescale, and it gets noticeably worse when there’s coffee in the portafilter. The rubber seal inside the machine looks fine, and the mechanism still seems to move normally when empty, as you can see in the video.
Does anyone know what could be causing this and whether it’s something that can be fixed? Or is it finally time for a new machine?
