I tried all these other videos with really ratchet solutions..inflated bags, hoses and syringes..straws 🤦🏻♂️- THANKFULLY I found your video that fixed my machine almost instantly after screwing around for 2 hours with things that weren’t even close to working. Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I tried this with my new machine, and it was very cumbersome. I did a little more research, and you can prime the machine simply by lifting the lever on the machine (where you put the pods in) several times while the pump is running. This allows the machine to push the air out.
omg! I was on the verge of binning our l'or sublime compact after struggling with it for almost a year, and this has finally provided me a fix!!! thank you soo very much!
Thank you! My new Capresso ec100 had same issue. Loud and vibrating. Your truck worked. Thanks so much for sharing. I’m a dad and it’s Father’s Day and now its off to a good start
Thank you, it worked! The key was to push down the watertank with some speed, in a way that big air bubbles come out. Unblocked the machine in seconds. Otherwise you will spend a lot of time.
Thank you for this video! I have a Nespresso Lattissima that sat in storage for almost two years. I thought the machine went bad before trying UA-cam and lo and behold I came across your video. Took a good 15 mins with this method but I finally got the machine to pump. Descaled it then made a delicious cup of espresso. Thank you again!!!
I had let my reservoir empty while making a coffee - that mistake created the airlock - your resolution fixed it!! I thought that I would have to replace my machine as I t is 5 years old, but, It’s all good, thank you
I watched the first few videos that popped up on a google search to repair this problem - one just beating the crp out of it, the next putting an inflated plastic bag in it - both epic fails (with those creators laughing secretly in my face)! This is the one that actually worked! Thanks so much! Now my 10+ yr old machine still going strong! A+++++
Just bought a new one and was so worried about needing to get it replaced. This video helped save me a lot of hassle. Thank you so much for this advice!
Thought I'd have to return new machine. This worked in maybe 10 seconds. I could hear it catch (primed?) after three lifts. Thank you SO much!! Didn't have to take the machine apart, etc.
Thank you!! Got my old Nespresso machine back from a different office at work, and after ~2 yrs in storage, I thought it was dead. Gave myself a few minutes to look for a fix - and you nailed it. Worked immediately, good as new. Thank you!
Omg! We were about the toss our machine! I thought, what the hack, give it a try. I thought it’s too simple, it’ll never work! Imagine my surprise!! Ty!,
We had a newer machine quit due to a problem unrelated to pumping. Our older machine had been sitting dormant for years and would not pump when I brought it out. We tried your method and it started pumping in under a minute. Thank you for the very practical and easy to use advice.
The Universal mind of UA-cam saves the day again! I was one step away from tossing my classic, Nespresso Le Cube D180 in the trash, because none of the steps the Nespresso tech team proposed for "reactivating" the pump worked. This was after I finished some heavy-duty descaling. Then I took a shot in the dark and followed your procedure. Worked right away! That's definitely worth a like and a subscribe! QUESTION: My machine is missing the Drip Tray (Not to be confused with the Cup Shelf or Capsule Container). I already contacted Nespresso, and the have no more stock. Suggestions?
Hi, I don't know if you already found a solution but here's a suggestion: find someone with a 3D printer. The drip tray would probably be fairly easy to replicate, and literally thousands of part designs are available online.
You a life saver Sir. Well at least you saved the life of my Nespresso. This worked perfectly. I had to try several times, but it eventually picked up and I ran a whole water container through. Well Done.
Thank you! Tried to use my machine without water in it😫 thought I’d broke it but came here and saw your fix, much appreciated as it’s up and running again.
Thanks. I found your video after watching another one that showed how to completely take the machine apart to prime the line. This worked!!! Quick and Easy! Now I am enjoying my Nespresso coffee once again. Thanks for making this video!!
Thank you so much! I agree with Neal.....it only took 10 seconds and my machine was working like new! I am very grateful for your advise. Prior to this, I tried the 'blowing technique and it didn't work....it only made my face turn blue! So, once again, thank you for sharing. God bless you!
Thank you! I went through the steps of opening the machine and try to solve the pumping issue but it didn't work, I almost was going to buy a new machine but you saved my pocket.
@ArraR1 Same here. It took 35 minutes in total. I had to stop at 15 minutes as the machine was getting hot. It appeared to be working great after 10 minutes as it went from zero to a low trickle but then back to zero after 5 more minutes. I decided to do the rest with a citric acid descaling solution. After 1 hour of letting the machine cool down, I tried again for 10 minutes.. still zero and still a bit hot so left it overnight. Tried again, and after another 10 minutes it finally worked again to the full glory. This is fantastic, especially since the machine is almost 6 years old!! It has mostly (75%) been used with bottled water due to living in an area with very hard water. Maybe I'll get very lucky with another 6 years of use, who knows! Thank You @namanj2 very much for your comment, it really did keep me going! And, of course, Thank You to this UA-cam tutor for an absolutely brilliant tutorial!! Sorry for such a long post but I thought it might be helpful to others with an "old" machine as mine. Wishing you all a great day, and Good Luck! 🙂🙏
Got HiBrew 4-in-1 to start without removal of water basin. Wish had got the hot/cold model. Just pushed up an down with it connected. I did push some black piece sitting over the water basin and the 2nd lungo try, hot water went in cup and out back of black piece into the water basin. Boy was I glad to see that. I made a 12oz cup of coffee using the lungo tab three times back to back; held tab for few seconds. Grateful because had ordered several cartridge adapters and didn't want to waste more money. Just have to find suitable coffee pods, capsules, reusables and a separate frother so I can have a variety. Thanks again 🙂
Yup, works a treat! Was given a machine that had been sitting in a cupboard for 2 years and wouldn't pump. This method fixed it on the 2nd run of lungo

Brilliant but be patient - took 10 minutes of doing this before it worked! Had our machine in storage for years and it works perfectly now!
I tried this with my new machine, and it was very cumbersome. I did a little more research, and you can prime the machine simply by lifting the lever on the machine (where you put the pods in) several times while the pump is running. This allows the machine to push the air out.
Thank you so much for sharing, pulling the lever several times fixed the problem on the 3rd try! Cheers!
This worked before I even finished watching the video!!! Thank you!!
Finally! You the best
This worked for me too! Was almost going to return it. Thank you
omg! I was on the verge of binning our l'or sublime compact after struggling with it for almost a year, and this has finally provided me a fix!!! thank you soo very much!
Thank you!! Repeated about ten times, worked!!! Just keep doing this people, it’ll work!
You are a genius
Thank you! My new Capresso ec100 had same issue. Loud and vibrating. Your truck worked. Thanks so much for sharing. I’m a dad and it’s Father’s Day and now its off to a good start
You are a genius! I fixed my Nexpresso machine in 2 seconds after watching your video. Thank you so much.
thank you sir, just saved me a bunch of drama
You just saved the day, i was just about throwing it away when i watched your video. Worked like charm... Now it's working perfectly
Thank you, it worked! The key was to push down the watertank with some speed, in a way that big air bubbles come out. Unblocked the machine in seconds. Otherwise you will spend a lot of time.
Just tried this with a creatista plus and worked within a few tries. Thanks for the tip!
This worked!! nothing else worked! thank you :)
My Krups EA8150 did not want to pump water the first time we turned it on. Tried this and worked perfectly! Thanks
Worked on my L’or barista after cleaning stopped water flow. Thanks so much! It did take probably 5-10 mins and about 50 removals and 25 f words 😎
Thank you for this video! I have a Nespresso Lattissima that sat in storage for almost two years. I thought the machine went bad before trying UA-cam and lo and behold I came across your video. Took a good 15 mins with this method but I finally got the machine to pump. Descaled it then made a delicious cup of espresso. Thank you again!!!
Thank you sir. I just bought the machine and it wasn’t pumping the water but this strategy helped me out.
Thank you.
wow thank you! it worked! I was about to recycle my machine and buy a new one.
Thank you, I just tried your method for our Lor Barista machine and now it's working again!
I had let my reservoir empty while making a coffee - that mistake created the airlock - your resolution fixed it!!
I thought that I would have to replace my machine as I t is 5 years old, but, It’s all good, thank you
Well done, it worked and now I can get on with my day with just the right dose of caffeine
Thank you so much for this video! I fixed my Nespresso machine "Lor" after 10-15 minutes! 👌😊
However did you come up with this solution?? Genius! Thanks!
IT WORKED!!! THANK YOU. I ALMOST THREW AWAY A $200 MACHINE

Thank goodness for your video!

Thank you so much! 100% working! I am an electrical engineer and I dint thought simple like you. Shame on me 😅

This is your sign to keep trying even after 30 minutes
This comment kept me going and it worked! Thank you!

Sorry for such a long post but I thought it might be helpful to others with an "old" machine as mine.
Wishing you all a great day, and Good Luck! 🙂🙏
You could also just let it sit for 30 minutes and gravity will clear the lock.
Thank you for this great video! My Nespresso machine is alive again! 🥳🥳
This solution worked great for a Vertuo Next model - Thanks much!
Of all the suggestions, this one worked and makes sense. Thanks!
Finally!! After all of the videos I watched and all of the crazy things I tried...thank you, thank you!!
Genius! If only everyone on youtube was a smart and practical as you are!! Thank you so much for making it so simple!
