MY Saeco italia has been leaking everytime it pulls a shot from the bottom of the unit. I opened the machine and the steam valve area is dry as with everywhere else. The only part that's wet is the flow meter. Is it possible that the leak can come from the flow meter?

Thank you. My ground setting is on 2. Thank you. My ground setting is on 2.

2 is very good but you do have to realize coffee is made up of oil and there is only so long through an area that the mixture of coffee grinds,water, and the oil thats inside coffee causes a blockage. How long have you had the unit? 2 is very good but you do have to realize coffee is made up of oil and there is only so long through an area that the mixture of coffee grinds,water, and the oil thats inside coffee causes a blockage.

I opened the machine and tricked it to pull a shot with the back and top removed. (Advice from a shop who sells parts) I was able to see the water leaking from the heat exchange assembly. I guess I'll order the part and see if I can change it out. Thank you for your suggestions. I'll watch my coffee type once I either fix this or bust it and buy a new one. =) p.s. I've had this machine for at least 5 years now. Love it while it worked! I opened the machine and tricked it to pull a shot with the back and top removed.

One last thing whenever you clean the machine make sure you also clean the nozzle head with a pin or needle this removes any build up at the head. You shouldnt have a problem though you grind level is low not like others who always grind at 8 or higher. Take care and Thanks again
