Just tried all these techniques and by tipping the machine forward with the button pressed and water in the water holder lots of bubbles appeared and the machine kicked back into action. Many thanks
Tried about 10 strategies and none worked. This one worked. In my case it was crucial to have just a tiny amount of water in the reservoir. If it is full, it does not work even putting it gently. Thank you a lot.
Thank you for this video - just pulled my Nespresso out of storage and no water coming out! Tried the zip lock bag and the on and off again water holder technique - nothing happened! Then found your video and worked!!!! Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Thank you so so much! i was about to give up after trying other things (ziplock bag, surgical glove, blowing into the hole…) for like 45 mins. Then i saw you vid, try it like for 10 times. And now my Nespresso inissia machine is working again after waiting in the storage for 2 years. Cant thank you enough 🙏🏼
Wow. I've been watching every UA-cam video under the sun, and had zero luck. I had even lined up buying a new one since I had lost all hope trying to fix mine, BUT then I found your video. Believe it or not, this method worked for me on the first try. Couldn't believe it. Thank you so much! Just saved me a lot of money. Stay well and thank you again.
Spent 45mn trying to fix my machine with several videos on the platform (ziplock bag, blowing into the drain, using a syringe), no success. I'm so glad I found your video, your technique worked great and my old machine is now ready to go to my father in law. Thanks 🙏🏽
Got a “warehouse special,” and was primed to return it until I found your video (after trying all of the other tricks to no avail). It lives!! Took more like 7 tries for me, but still less than a minute. Thank you!!
You sir, are the MAN!!! I would have returned my brand new machine. The only thing I would mention in addition to what you did is I dried the black base under the water tank and only after I did that the bubbles started showing up. Thank you very much for this video!
Tried your trouble-shooting tips as well as the hot water in canister. Finally removed the canister and flipped it over. Using the paperclip, pushed it through each of the open slats within the the protruding pump connection, and it worked!
I JUST TRIED THIS AND IT WORKED!!! Just bought a $20 Nespresso U Milk machine from a garage sale this morning. No water coming through, found this video and BOOM - so pleased I don't have to dismantle the thing!! Thank you!!
Bought a nespresso citiz machine second hand off eBay and when it arrived I had the same issue no water flowing through. I googled the problem and watch you tube videos and tried all the advice given nothing worked. I watched your video and tried this method for almost two hours and still nothing I had completely ran out of patience. I decided to leave the machine alone for a day thinking about returning it and with one last go miraculously water started to flow! Thank you for your video and to anyone fixing their own machine do not give up it WILL work just persevere
Thank you so much! Bought a cheap mixpresso machine for my office at work. It didn't work and the seller would not take it back. Was sitting on a shelf in the garage and I got angry at being ripped off when I would see it. Now it is working! I am so grateful for your video and relieved that I didn't throw it away.
Rocking the tank resolved my air lock. I kept seeing air bubbles with each rock. Such a good tip, wish Nespresso added this to their troubleshooting section. Was so disappointed with my new Vertuo Plus machine for about an hour before I found your video and resolved the issue, thanks a latte!
Showing you some love from London,UK! You are the man! And probably saved me from going out to buy new espresso after my wife, accidentally put the machine on with no water, she got the air into it and screamed for me to fix it while I was half asleep. The bag, other techniques did not work! Yours worked after 5 attempts❤❤😊😊❤❤😊😊❤❤😊😊 Thankyou for sharing your knowledge.
OMG - took my machine out of storage after 3 years.. could not get any water flow... but pump was working...just spent 30mins on the phone to Nespresso tried everything the agent suggested.. to be told in the end that the supervisor said the machine will have to be returned for a no guarantee repair..have to pay €116 up front. Just watched your video and did what you advise. Took a few gos but... hey presto.. water flowing for the first time! Thanks a million! Amazing. I was going to dump the machine! 😮
I have a larger machine with a water tank that is not easy to remove, and so I was skeptical. My reluctance to spend another $300 prompted me to give it a try. One small tilt yielded a few air bubbles. 8-10 more times and I'm back in business - Many thanks - you are a genius!!
Had Nespresso machines for almost 10 years now and I have never had this problem although like everyone, I have run it out of water...put more water in and we are good. That was not the case this morning though. I tried this idea and boom, it worked first time. I love it when things are just simple and work out just like it was supposed to. Thank you. Bravo!
This saved my machine this morning. We'd already sent one back. When this one stopped pumping , husband intended to use it for target practice. Thank you so much.
You just saved me almost $1000 (Canadian) dollars. No low pressure water on my five year old machine and no Breville service available within 1000km. Your very simple solution (on the Nespresso model!) worked first time. That this simple solution is not on any Breville documentation implies to me that Breville are happy to see machines thrown out in the junk pile because of a simple air lock. VERY bad PR for the company is these "Right to Repair' days.
I haven’t used my Nespresso machine in YEARS and wanted to test it out before selling. I had no idea what to do and this video was the first one that popped up. So I tried it out and it worked! Thank you!
Did this on two occasions yesterday but didn't get it to work. Woke up this morning and decided to try and make coffee, and now it worked! Thank you! 😊
Thank you so much!! You just saved me hours of frustration and disappointment. I had to do the pumping and releasing air bubbles several times before the bubbles ceased. At that point it wasn’t quite drawing water in so I took the air bag option you mentioned and tried to press it in on top of water as it pumped. The bag quickly popped but apparently it created just enough pressure for the water to get past any remaining air. Again, thank you! Me without espresso is a terrible thing to behold.
Thank you! My new machine didn't work. Different brand. It just vibrated. Girlfriend was pissed. We just returned another one that leaked and another that didn't work well at all to get one brand new and airlocked. I used your technique and it works amazing now. Not all heros wear capes! 👏
Well this worked but took a LONG time and several tries! i also tried blowing into a straw and pushing the little inlet below the water tank with a straw, gently. My machine had been packed for 3 years, so glad its working! Keep trying, it works eventually!!
I tried the Ziploc bag, the straw blowing and I honestly couldn't really tell what you were doing but I just followed your instruction and IT WORKED!!! two tries for me and it worked.....I spent 30 minutes on the other "hacks"
After trying multiple methods from other You Tube solution for no water flow, I tried your solution and after 3 attempts it worked perfectly. Thank you for your due diligence and coming up with your suggestion of only slightly installing the water reservoir and allow the bubbles to come out. My machine is the Nespresso type D111. Thank you again
Totally did the trick on my 2010 or so Pixie machine! I used Nespresso descaler and cycled that through and it's like new. Pretty impressive for an old, low-end machine. Thanks, so much!
I have been without coffee for two weeks! I didn’t do the place it back gently, I just pushed up the little thing at the bottom, put it back on and it worked! Thank you
hi. love from Malaysia. it worked on our nespresso pixie.. we havent used our coffee machine for a little over a year n now its back to life. many thanks ❤
Yes your video has helped me to fix my nespresso pixie as it was stored in the attic for about 5 years. Took a lot of goes then gave up. Went to bed and the next day started working again.
Someone passed on a new machine onto me and couldn’t get it to work. I was out to toss it when I found your video and I followed your instructions and got it to work. Thank you
I tried the rocking multiple times. Lots of air bubbles came out along with water in the drip area. After at least 10 minutes of trying, I quit and did other things. A few hours later, I gave it one more try, still rocking to get air bubbles, and IT WORKED! Thank you!
Worked like a charm. Took only two attempts. My issue was the tank had run out of water...I have had this happen before and used the ziplock bag...but found that very difficult and frustrating. Thank You!
My Nespresso Pixie machine was left unused for a while and it couldn’t pump water when we tried to use it this afternoon. I thought the pump had spoilt and was thinking of throwing it away. Then I decided to search UA-cam and came across this video and used the method to release the bubble and IT WORKED!! it’s amazing I don’t know how many machines had been discarded because of this simple fault. Thank you for the video !!
Thank you so much for this video. I wish it was the top result for my search. I've had this issue with my brand new espresso machine and couldn't find a solution for more than six hours since unboxing. I didn't have to do it for a hundred times. Just kept my eyes on the bubbles for a couple of minutes and then the magic worked. I almost damaged my machine not knowing what was wrong with it. Thank you again ♡
Totally worked. Tried a few other things and this was the only trick that worked. Takes a little patience and a few tries, but eventually you hear the sweet sound of gurgling water!
The first couple of times (20 odd) nothing happened, but following the suggestion of another comment to keep trying, I did... and eventually it worked! Thank you. You've earned a like.
Absolute legend. Had this issues and tried the other method people said and nothing. Then tried this method you gave just gradually tilting it in and slowly pressing against the machine and off the bubbles went and out the coffee came. Top guy! 👍🏻
I can't believe that worked! My machine had been untouched for a year so I was worried maybe the water had calcified and I had a bigger problem. Turning the machine on before putting the water tank on worked!!! And I'm surprised that I don't have to do that every time now, I can just push the button and it goes again, thank you thank you!!!
Thanks,5 years of this problem. A year ago, I bought an alan key to pull it apart. I took the hose off and put it back on and it was fixed but its a big job. Today I did it your way & fixed in a minute.Very hapoy thanks heaps. Lyn Vic
So bizarre. I thought my U machine had finally had a nervous breakdown. Hadn’t used it for months and tried several other methods to stop the 3 flashing lights which mean add water. Nothing. Then, on the umpteeth try to just make coffee and hope it would eventually start to work, it started making odd noises, running indefinitely with nothing coming out, and never releasing the pod as the U normally does automatically. Was really going to chuck it and then watched your video. It’s hilarious that you don’t know how it works but that it does and, guess what! I gently jiggled the water reservoir a few times, as you said to do, and up came bubbles and then out came coffee! The machine is acting like nothing had ever been wrong! Thanks a bunch. Love my old machine!
Enjoyed the video and it helped. For me it was the sprung nozzle in the water tank. I rotated it from the bottom using a fork and it freed it much more. Once the spring was in the correct place water started flowing and now my Inissia works perfectly. Many thanks!
Right when I was ready to throw it across the room, you saved me!! Straws, the ziploc with air... my coffee is critical to my morning happiness, thank you! Worked perfectly!
Wow! It took me a while of trying this technique (about 20 or so cycles) but it worked! Thanks, saved me from shelling out cash for another machine. I have the original cube shaped unit from 2008 and had it sitting idle for a year with no water. When I added water and went to fire it up, had the problem you described. Your fix was what was needed, along with some patience 😊
Genius!!! Dying for an espresso this afternoon and the water wasn't going thru!! Just used it in the morning, but later in the day it didn't pump water. I was just about to try to take it apart until I came across your vlog!! So glad I found your video and solved the problem!
Thanks for the tip! Our De'Longhi type EN80.B sat unused for 3 years and tonight some guests wanted a Nespresso. No luck for them but now our machine is pumping water again.
INCREDIBLE! Make sure to watch the second machine too. That one seemed trickier and gave me the motivation I needed to keep trying it until I started to get tons of bubbles exiting
Yes! Success. Hadn’t used my original Nespresso in quite a few years. Same issue. No water coming out. I tried all the other videos but this one worked. I will say that it took a while. I probably did this method 20x. I all but gave up last night but decided to try it one more time this morning, and boom! We have liftoff-or rather coffee! So be patient… it will work eventually. Thank you for this video!
Hello. Great video. I did a combination of the “bubble method” and brushed the grid plate ( behind the sprout from where you put in the capsule, ie where the capsule sits) with a clean toothbrush. It worked wonders. Thank you.
Man, i tried every single method on UA-cam (syringe, blowing with a straw, and others), but yours was the only that worked! I pressed around 8 times and BAM, working perfectly fine.
Thanks! We had put the machine in the trash can already. Found your tip video and resuscitated it successfully after several times of pushing down on the water reservoir as you had to do on the second machine!
I just wanted to thank you -- this worked incredibly well! I first pushed the tank up and down, forcing the seal up and down, each time making a couple of bubbles come up. Then I gently lowered it like you said and MAGIC, I can drink coffee again! Thank you SO much
This helped a lot in understanding what went wrong. I got a twist on this fix. What I did was is set the unit in the bathtub, remove the reservoir, get a about a 5 foot long piece of clear vinyl tube that is .75" outside diameter and press it to the hole at the bottom where the reservoir seats and extend the tube up to head level. Make sure it is a tight fit by blowing into the end of the tube. Once it is tight, fill the tube with water, make sure it does not leak. Turn the machine on, press the big cup button and blow like hell into the tube. It took a couple attempts but it started pumping water. Yea!
It didn’t work on my new machine. But you idea spurred me to use the rubber bulb of a turkey blaster to pressurize the water. That and lifting the water tank off and on worked. Thanks.
Thanks mate, you saved me from a couple of hard mornings! Our regular automatic coffee machine just broke down on us, and as I got the backup nespresso from storage, it had the same issue, but this fixed it in a minute!
Good video. This technique worked for me. My machine was sat in the cupboard for about 2 years and wouldn’t pump water. Thanks for the info 👍🏻 now I can sit back and smell the coffee ☕️ 😂
Thanks!
Thanks :)

I've been banging on my machine for a month. Nothing has stoked until I used your method! You saved me 300$ lol I can't believe it! Man I'm stoked!
Tried this method and it's the best working method among many others that failed. Thank you!
Tried your trouble-shooting tips as well as the hot water in canister. Finally removed the canister and flipped it over. Using the paperclip, pushed it through each of the open slats within the the protruding pump connection, and it worked!
This is the only method that worked after trying multiple other ways. Thanks you're a genius!

3 yrs later and still doing gods work. This worked on my pixie, thought i was going to have to buy a new one. Thank you so much
I barely post a comment online. But since this trick worked like a charm, I want to engage so more people will also find this solution!
Thanks....glad it worked for you.
Totally did the trick on my 2010 or so Pixie machine! I used Nespresso descaler and cycled that through and it's like new. Pretty impressive for an old, low-end machine. Thanks, so much!
I have been without coffee for two weeks! I didn’t do the place it back gently, I just pushed up the little thing at the bottom, put it back on and it worked! Thank you
This works! Mine has been stored for 2 years. Been troubleshooting for 3 hours. Took about 20 minutes with this method. Thank you sir.
My guy!! I was giving up and the comment made me keep trying. About 15 tries and it worked!!
hi. love from Malaysia. it worked on our nespresso pixie.. we havent used our coffee machine for a little over a year n now its back to life. many thanks ❤

Wow worked first time on a krups. Can’t believe I’d packed it away for 2 years and this is all I needed to do!!
After an hour of trying different remedies we watched your video and it works. Now the lights won't stop blinking.
Thank you
Glad its working for everyone.
Worked like a charm. Took only two attempts. My issue was the tank had run out of water...I have had this happen before and used the ziplock bag...but found that very difficult and frustrating. Thank You!
Just tried on my 6 years old Nespresso Lattissima Touch and it worked perfectly, thank you!
Worked perfect. The "detach and re-attach 100X" part worked for me. Thanks man!
Life saver. I thought my tank was full but it was empty so i got air in it. Tried your step about five times and it has worked. Thank you

My man you are a genius guy. I tried the bag I tried everything. I just did it for like 56 times and everything worked.
Thank you so much for this video. I wish it was the top result for my search. I've had this issue with my brand new espresso machine and couldn't find a solution for more than six hours since unboxing. I didn't have to do it for a hundred times. Just kept my eyes on the bubbles for a couple of minutes and then the magic worked. I almost damaged my machine not knowing what was wrong with it. Thank you again ♡

Hey bro can you help me out tried out many times but not working
@@divenchopra2383 I couldn't explain it better. Follow the instructions in the video, exactly. Dont miss a step.
@@tellbhavik I did the same thing exactly but not working can I contact you so that you can make me understand it better
This worked perfect for my old machine that was packed away for a year. I tried other methods before I found your suggestion. Thank you.
Glad it helped!
I have been at this for over an hour this video saved me. Thank you so much for the simplest and most effective method!!
Thanks very much indeed. Tried your technique 6 times and it suddenly then started to pump out water. Cheers!
Glad it helped
Amazing. Was about to give up when I found this clip and it worked... First time! Thank you!!
This was a great quick fix, glad I didn’t start by dismantling the machine!
Thank You !! I tried for almost an hr with other tricks finally came across yours did it 3x bam! It worked!
Glad I could help
Did it for 5 minutes straight. Nothing. And suddenly after few more tries it started to work. Thank you!

Perfect! Fixed instantly. Saved us on holidays from caffeine withdrawal. Thank you 🎉🎉
Works a charm! My Inessia had been sat doing nothing for a couple of years and now it works perfect again!
Right when I was ready to throw it across the room, you saved me!! Straws, the ziploc with air... my coffee is critical to my morning happiness, thank you! Worked perfectly!
Thank you! Saved me from thinking it was defective out of the box!! 3 tries and it started pumping water.

I got my year long busted coffee machine to work. Basically I tried your method but also had to force water into the system, but now it's working!
Thanks for the tip! Our De'Longhi type EN80.B sat unused for 3 years and tonight some guests wanted a Nespresso. No luck for them but now our machine is pumping water again.
I have Nescafe Dolce Gusto and was close to disassemble it, but your method worked out succesfullly. Thanks a lot!
INCREDIBLE! Make sure to watch the second machine too. That one seemed trickier and gave me the motivation I needed to keep trying it until I started to get tons of bubbles exiting
Yes! Success. Hadn’t used my original Nespresso in quite a few years. Same issue. No water coming out. I tried all the other videos but this one worked. I will say that it took a while. I probably did this method 20x. I all but gave up last night but decided to try it one more time this morning, and boom! We have liftoff-or rather coffee! So be patient… it will work eventually. Thank you for this video!
Hello. Great video. I did a combination of the “bubble method” and brushed the grid plate ( behind the sprout from where you put in the capsule, ie where the capsule sits) with a clean toothbrush. It worked wonders. Thank you.
Thank you so much! It worked but took lots of tries. Watching you work on the second machine where you had to keep coaxing helped!
Man, i tried every single method on UA-cam (syringe, blowing with a straw, and others), but yours was the only that worked! I pressed around 8 times and BAM, working perfectly fine.
Same!!!!
Thanks! We had put the machine in the trash can already. Found your tip video and resuscitated it successfully after several times of pushing down on the water reservoir as you had to do on the second machine!
called nespresso, they guided me through a bunch of steps that did nothing. this worked. thanks man!
I just wanted to thank you -- this worked incredibly well! I first pushed the tank up and down, forcing the seal up and down, each time making a couple of bubbles come up. Then I gently lowered it like you said and MAGIC, I can drink coffee again! Thank you SO much
Thank you! Neither the plastic bag nor the ‘push it on or off’ worked for me. Yours just did!
Was about to buy a new unit, tried this and it worked great. Thank you Thank you
Thanks for your fix for Nespresso not pumping water. Saved me on holidays! 🎉
This helped a lot in understanding what went wrong. I got a twist on this fix. What I did was is set the unit in the bathtub, remove the reservoir, get a about a 5 foot long piece of clear vinyl tube that is .75" outside diameter and press it to the hole at the bottom where the reservoir seats and extend the tube up to head level. Make sure it is a tight fit by blowing into the end of the tube. Once it is tight, fill the tube with water, make sure it does not leak. Turn the machine on, press the big cup button and blow like hell into the tube. It took a couple attempts but it started pumping water. Yea!
It didn’t work on my new machine. But you idea spurred me to use the rubber bulb of a turkey blaster to pressurize the water. That and lifting the water tank off and on worked. Thanks.
Thank you for the fix. My wife is now happier and more awake.
What a genius! I tried all the other tricks and no results. This worked perfect. You’re a real swell guy! Thanks
Thanks mate, you saved me from a couple of hard mornings! Our regular automatic coffee machine just broke down on us, and as I got the backup nespresso from storage, it had the same issue, but this fixed it in a minute!
Good video. This technique worked for me. My machine was sat in the cupboard for about 2 years and wouldn’t pump water. Thanks for the info 👍🏻 now I can sit back and smell the coffee ☕️ 😂
THIS WORKED!!! we tried all the methods too (for over 2 hours) and this worked on the first try!
