Eliminating Wet Puck on Pro 2

I discovered this trick the other day and I haven’t seen it posted so I thought I’d share for people who are struggling with wet pucks on the Pro 2. I’ve seen lots of different solutions including pushing the puck screen down with your fingers but this has been the simplest solution I’ve found and makes cleanup ten times easier.

Step 1: Press lever until no more water comes out.

Most people stop here, but even though it looks like you’ve pushed out all the water if you stop now you’ll have a wet soupy puck that’s a pain to clean up.

Step 2: Remove plunger from Brew Head

Step 3: Reinsert the plunger.

You don’t even have to push, just reinserting it alone will cause a surprising amount of excess water to flow again through the puck. You can position the plunger on the hole and use the lever to push it in for extra force like I did here but it works just as well doing it by hand.

Step 4: Repeat until you hear a hissing sound.

That means all water has been pushed out and you’re just pushing air now. Usually takes 2-3 times.

Step 5: Knock out your nice dry puck!

If this is already common knowledge let me know and I’ll delete, but this is definitely something I wish I knew a LONG time ago.
