Brew group cannot be inserted

Hi all and happy new year,

I have already searched the forum but found nothing suitable. My Melitta Caffeo Varianza CSP has always jammed a bit when inserting/removing the brewing unit. I probably took it out in the wrong position this time! Anyway, since today I can't put it back in (the year is off to a good start).

The lever mechanism will not release to turn it to the left. Even when I lift it over the lock there is strong resistance and the error message remains "insert brewing unit". With POWER+coffee strength I have already checked the position of the drive block but it is in correctly.

Anyone have any ideas on how to get our first coffee in 2021?

1000 thanks

ciao Carlo

Hey guys, I got it in the end. I guess it was still stuck a bit until I got it in deep enough.

thank you
