What to know about excess water in your tray

Things we love

Things to consider

  • Expected accumulation vs. Excess
  • Some water will always go directly from the brew unit area to the drip tray
  • Does water dispense from the coffee spouts during the automated descale process?
  • Drink volume is the best way to determine consistency
