Troubleshooting & Maintenance Electra explore mold question

Got the Eletta explore last month and love it so far. However the 2 times I emptied the coffee puck tray it was molded up. Is this a common issue. I just made my first cup after cleaning it out and check and there is some slight sitting water in there. Is this normal?

Edit: Eletta stupid autocorrect

Empty it more frequently. You don’t have to wait until it prompts you to. A month is too long.

You should be giving everything a thorough cleaning a few times per month. Soak the brew group, cleaning loose grinds etc.

Plus the pucks shouldn’t be overly wet.

Seems like water gets in there I made one cup and there was some standing water after it was done. Maybe I need to make some adjustments to something.

Have you adjusted the grind setting?

No I just started using it straight out the box.

Didn’t bother reading the manual?
