Philips Baristina Plus Espresso Machine: Light Indicators and Solutions


Recipe Button Blinking Slowly
 

  1. If one of the recipe buttons 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 recipe button selected will also blink while brewing.
     
  2. One of the recipe buttons 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.

Intensity Boost Button On


The Intensity Boost function is selected. The Intensity Boost function can only be selected after activating a drink button.


The Intensity Boost button is blinking quickly


The rinsing cycle or brewing with pre-ground coffee has started without the portafilter inserted. Insert the portafilter and the machine will begin the process.


Recipe Button Blinking Quickly
 

  1. If the selected recipe 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.
     
  2. If the selected recipe button is blinking fast after refilling or placing back the water container, it means that the water container is not correctly in place. Make sure you push the water container into the housing of the machine until it clicks into place. Then press the fast-blinking drink button to start or continue the brewing process.
     
  3. If the selected recipe button is blinking fast after the portafilter is automatically moved back it means that the portafilter is out of place. Give the portafilter a little push and the machine will start to brew coffee.
     
  4. If the selected recipe 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 automatically continues the process.
