NESPRESSO HOW TO FIX No Coffee Flow Troubleshooting Maintenance

[@hianong4397]

How I wish other videos could be as clear and precise as this. I hadn't used my machine for a while and there was no water flow. I carried out all the four procedures in this video, albeit just about four or five times for the first (air pocket issue). When water still didn't flow, I returned to the first procedure and must have pressed the cup button at least another fifteen times. I was on the verge of giving up and binning my machine when, hey presto, water started flowing! I continued with a few more cup presses to give it a good clean. The lesson I hope to pass on here is - if it's an air pocket issue, you'll have to be patient and persist many, many times with the first procedure before it works. Don't give up too soon. Many thanks for your help and brilliant video.

Thank you for your video! My Pixie machine stopped working. I followed all your advice and now it’s like new and works perfectly. I was ready to buy a new machine but with your help, that’s no longer necessary. You saved me approximately $200.00. Again, thank you!

[@marcosruiz8048]

The video was very helpful. The second tip was the winner, the toothbrush idea made the difference. Thank you!

[@svetlanka90]

Just had the same issue and fixed it after following the instructions . Thank you for the video , was ready to return it to shop i bought the machine from.

[@洛1]

This was an immensely clear and useful video. The first tip was what solved my problem -- ensure the "clips" on the water tank are properly inserted. You can't imagine how many capsules I sacrificed just thinking they were the problem.

[@larpy]

Thank you! I’m glad it helped!

[@ChefABS]

Finally, your video helped me understand my gift of a Nespresso machine. It’s an older version/model and your video did the trick for helping me figure out how to work it. Thanks!😅

[@larpy]

You’re welcome! I’m glad my video helped

[@tigaz13]

Thank you so much! I just took my Nespresso Vertuo out of the box and it was making the exact same sound and no water was coming out even though the tank was full. You really hit the nail on the head with this video.

[@larpy]

So glad you were able to get it to work! No worries at all. Have a good day

[@hannalogan8794]

You saved my life!!!!thank you! I spent half of day to fix my nespresso, so I watched many videos, but I couldn't figure it out, but once I followed your way, my espress started come out of machine! THANK YOU THANK YOU

[@BColorado3000]

Thank you!! I was just about to throw my machine away and thought I'd try and find a youtube troubleshoot! SO GLAD I FOUND YOU! I love my old Essenza again! Hope I can still get pods!

[@badshotuk72]

Great little video, I had a water flow issue where i thought the pods were not being pierced correctly, it was just full of grinds, many thanks👌

[@RoryGamble]

It took about 5 presses of the lugno button to remove the airlock in my machine. I had tried 1/2/3 in a row previously with no result, and I didn't want to risk damaging it by running more. Thanks for the great info.

[@marinedream9481]

Thank you! I thought my machine was broken but I followed your first tip and water is flowing through👌✨

[@kaynebohanna2688]

Thank you heaps for this video. I haven't used my machine in well over a year. Flushing the system, using the toothbrush, and running the descaling process solved it!

[@allybeckman]

Thank you so much for this!!!! Was thinking I had to purchase a new machine ❤️🙏 it was my spout - the third tip - that worked for me!!

[@TheDonz]

Awesome, haven’t used mine in ages and thought it was broken. Was about to buy a new one but tried your toothbrush and paper clip method. Works great now. Thanks bro

[@SGMLft96]

Thank you!! I had an old Essenza (the one dome-shaped) that was forgotten in my old office, unused for at least 5 years. Brought it home, cleaned it, then tried descaling, but absolutely no water coming out. Ready to throw it away. But now, thanks to your video and a few hours of patience, I got it running again as new!!

[@larpy]

Glad I could help! Happy it’s now working !

[@SGMLft96]

[@larpy]

@@SGMLft96 yes haha happy it’s now working

[@TheEloquentEye]

Here is one that none has suggested but I discovered on my own, take off the tank, run a few times and then connect the water tank again and run. Fixed this issue for me instantly.

[@robinmentch1351]

I let mine run dry this. morning not realizing I was out of water!!! So it took me a while and a couple of videos but finally I got the water running again! Yay!!! Thank you so much for this helpful info : )

[@bettylew4776]

Very helpful video. Glad you added that tidbit about pulling the silver handle all the way back to release the air pocket...I am one who still has that "vintage" machine. LOL. All your tips helped and now my machine is working like a charm. Thank you.

[@larpy]

Amazing ! Glad to hear you were able to fix it

[@andrewjang5358]

Great informative video on how to maintain Nespresso machines. I didn’t know I had to clean that grid plate inside and that fixed my issue. Thank you

[@eileenpollard4360]

Coffee capsules are not being pierced

[@franccaggiano4054]

Thank you! You're the only one to know about pushing the lever backwards to break the airlock! I'd put the reservoir on and off 16,365,876 (it felt like) times to no avail. One push back of the lever and voila!

[@larpy]

You’re welcome! Great to hear your machine is fixed

[@1known2]

Thanks very much m8, I just purchased one off marketplace, and it had very low flow and After doing what you suggested it now runs like a beautiful machine

Great video. Thanks so much for posting this. I was wondering if you knew anything about coffee coming out very weak and watery? I don’t think I have an air block as no water issues, just the coffee coming out very tasteless and weak.

[@cacchiokenick]

I hit it a little bit on the right side and it's working 💪

[@liekex4059]

Thanks for the tips! I only have this problem with the pods from another brand. It’s almost like there are not enough holes in the pod. The coffee comes out weak and watery even tho it is designed for the ezzenza mini. Any tips on how I can minimize this problem?

[@drrmdjr]

Thanks for a nice tutorial. I tried all your fixes but my escenza still wouldn’t pump any water. I discovered that if you turn on the machine, add a capsule and press the luongo button, as soon as you hear it buzz, pull up the lever and pump it up and down several times, the hot water starts to flow. You have to do this to force prime it. Now my once stuck machine is making delicious espresso again!

[@lisaothmer4580]

This was the fix for me- thank you!!

After pulling out my nespresso from years of storage, I could not get the pump to prime. Tried everything. Finally pouring boiling water in the reservoir did the trick.

[@moniatravaglia3262]

Thank you your third tipe saver me from buying a new machine

[@Vodstick]

Hi, my machine is giving water, but no coffee. I also find that my drip tray receives more water than it normally should. It's like the machine is bypassing the coffee capsule somehow. I cleaned the grid and the spout as in the video, but I think that is more for in case there is no flow at all.

[@SOULPOWERSTIAN]

I am Thankful of all these tips but I have the same problem like Vodstick

[@beautybyanh7185]

Oh my God!! You are my life saver! I didn't realize how dirty my Nozzle was!!

[@spamsam99]

Low pressure so water can’t get through the pod. Seal is not good allowing water to leak out into waste tank.

[@wisamaskar-theAskarBrothers]

So how to fix that seal issue then as I have same issue with my machine

[@lydiaburtenshaw]

My coffee machine is doing the exact same and I don’t know how to fix it 😩

Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. I thought I broke my Nespresso machine by running it with an empty water tank.

[@larpy]

You’re welcome ! 😃

[@hannahmarie9015]

I did everything he said in order, nothing worked, UNTIL he started talking about “older” machines and mentioned pulling the lever all the way back and pressing the espresso button. This strangely worked for me, it started spitting water almost immediately, even though my model is a “new” one identical to his (purchased in 2021). 🤷🏼‍♀️

Could you please show us how to increase the heat 😬 it’s a little bit cold not even warm!!

[@larpy]

You’re welcome ☺️ Unfortunately you can’t make the coffee temperature hotter. It shouldn’t be cold. It be roughly 70 degrees.

[@Genusik]

Thanks, very useful information

[@wsuardi192]

Hello. Thank you for making this video. I think I have the air pocket issue. However I have a new coffee capsule inside and I think now the coffee chamber is pressurized so I can open the lever to empty it. Also no coffee is flowing no matter how many times I press the espresso button. In fact some parts of the machine which I believe to be the pump grows really hot. Please advise how to tackle this problem. Thank you

[@felipecapusso3263]

Thanks a lot. I ended up finding out that the issue was with a new brand of coffee pods that I purchased. Theyare made of plastic instead of aluminum like the original nespresso or a couple other brands I tried. Apparently my machine cannot puncture and smash it to extract the coffee and get the water through. I have a DeLonghi.

[@ch234an]

Thank you!

[@larpy]

I hope this troubleshooting/maintenance advice helped. I've had a Citiz machine for 5 years and this Essenza machine for 2 years, with no issues at all. If you do proper daily cleaning and maintenance your machine should last many years. Please also ensure to wipe and rinse out the drip tray, capsule container and any removable parts at the end of each day, this will minimise any risk of infestation. You shouldn't get infestations anyway if you properly pest control your home. Ensure to pest control your home before Spring Summer comes around or the warmer months. DO NOT put your removable parts i.e drip tray, capsule container in the dishwasher as it may deform and discolour your removable parts. Just hand wash.

[@sonyakaye9081]

Hi there! I have an older essenza that was gifted to me a few weeks ago. The capsules will not puncture. All I get is light tan dirty-ish water coming through. Is there anything I can do to correct this issue? Thank you!

[@larpy]

Sonya Kaye Does it not puncture on both sides? foil side and bottom of capsule ?

[@sonyakaye9081]

FANBOY LARPEE it punctures on the back side. It is not puncturing on the foil side.

[@sonyakaye9081]

FANBOY LARPEE my answer was confusing. My apologies. I think I was just so tired from messing with this machine! 😬 anyway, I corrected my response. Does it make better sense now?

[@tammymukkada4200]

Hello there,
I was very impressed with your helpful video which went into so much detail regarding maintaining your coffee machine. Thank you.
I have an issue where my water won’t heat up and I’ve even tried to factory reset but that doesn’t appear to be working either. I’m at a loss of what the problem is or if it needs to be thrown out.
I’ve had it a few years but rarely used it. Maybe that’s the problem. 🤷‍♀️
Do you have any ideas?

[@larpy]

Thank you! If it’s not heating up and keeps flashing unfortunately it’ll need to be repaired.

[@larpy]

If your machine is dripping from the coffee spout after you make a coffee. Make sure to lift the lever up to eject any residual water sitting inside the extract unit/brewing unit. The residual water will then go straight into your capsule container.

[@fernandoftfferraz]

I notice one time that i put the capsule and extract but a few seconds before the coffee itself come out, a bit of pure water came first. Maybe it´s because I did not lift the lever before extract, may this be correct ?

[@Hussainally2000]

Hey bud ..thanks for the video ..I cleaned out everything as u mentioned ..and now there is no leak when I'm making the coffee ..however ..after the coffee is ready and I lift the lid up ..some residue water comes out of the spout and also some falls into the coffee pod container..why does it still do that ? Is that normal ?.. appreciate your help

[@marthamattison5506]

So simple and it worked! Thank you!!!!

[@TheMaskedheel]

Just throwing this out for the benefit of anyone looking for ideas. My nespresso wasn't working when I pressed the button or tried to do a reset. Seems to be because the seal got damaged from using reusable capsules. If I hold down the top and press the button it works.

Problem: Lungo button only pump a little water then stops.
Solution: Reset to Factory Setting.
How:
1. With machine turned off, press > 5 sec and hold down the Lungo button
2. LEDS will blink fast 3 times to confirm machine has been reset to factory settings.
3. LEDs will then continue to blink normally, as heating up, until ready. (25 sec)
4. LEDs will then Steady Lights and ready to make coffee
I thought worth posting here in case someone encountered the same issue as I did.
