I have error lights on my Baristina machine
A light on my Philips Baristina Espresso Machine is blinking
If your Philips Baristina Espresso Machine is showing a blinking light, please refer below to find the causes and solutions.
The Espresso or Lungo button is blinking slowly
-
If the Espresso or Lungo button is blinking slowly after a drink selection, it means that the drink is selected and the portafilter handle can be moved to the right to start grinding. The Espresso or Lungo button will also blink while brewing.
-
The Espresso or Lungo button keeps blinking slowly after the portafilter is moved to the right and the machine does not start grinding.
The portafilter was not inserted completely while moving it to the right. Give the portafilter handle a little push to connect it well into the machine. The machine will start to grind the beans. Always make sure you insert the portafilter into the machine fully, until you hear a click.
The Intensity boost button is continuously on
The Intensity boost function is selected. The Intensity boost function can only be selected after activating a drink button.
The Espresso or Lungo button is blinking fast
-
If the Espresso or Lungo button is blinking fast while brewing coffee, it means the water container has emptied. In this case, refill the water container, place it back into the machine, and then press the button that is blinking quickly to continue the brewing process.

If the Espresso or Lungo button is blinking fast after refilling or placing back the water container, it means that the water container is not correctly in place.

-
If the Espresso or Lungo button is blinking fast after the portafilter is automatically moved back it means that the portafilter is out of place. Give the the portafilter a little push and the machine will start to brew coffee.
-
If the Espresso or Lungo button is still blinking fast during or after grinding, and the handle is still in the grind position, it means that the water container was removed from the machine during grinding or was not placed back correctly. Make sure you place back the water container and push it into the housing of the machine until it clicks into place. The machine continues automatically the process.
