Amazing. I almost bought a new machine, but this did the trick! I had soooo much build up in the nozzle after 9 years of daily multiple brewing. Thank you!!!
My machine was slightly different but just quickly did it and it seems to be just the normal slow drip you normally get in the tray so really grateful, thanks.
Hola, me han gustado mucho tus videos, son completos y se nota que intentas transmitir la información para que de verdad aprendamos. Fuy capaz de arreglar una cafetera inissia gracias a la gran calidad de sus videos. Me dispongo a la reparación de una Nespresso pixie como la de este video, y me gustaria saber si me podria decir que resistencia tiene la placa electrónica, ya que la resistencia se quemó y no puedo distinguir la franja de colores para su correcta sustitución. Muchas gracias de antemano.
Many Thanks Sir!!! I microwave heated 3 large mugs water, poured through a thin funnel into the unit as you described - Completely Fixed it’s flow like new!!!👍😄
Thanks for this video. I was just about to take my Citiz apart when I decided to try this method. I brought out the Dawn Powerwash which also really helped. I used the descaler kit before this which did nothing. I then flushed it with more vinegar and water until the leaking stopped. I'm so happy I don't need to get a new machine. :-)
Yesterday I bought a new machine, the Vertuo, Then I watched your second video, and....................... Got my machine working, thanks to you, Spooky or what?
Thank you for the video. I followed the instructions and when I plugged my machine back in it was in descaling mode and will not exit. Running descaling program, pressing one or both buttons for 7 or 30 seconds - nothing works. I wonder if turning the machine upside down or water getting onto it coukd have caused this. Any tips in what I could do to get machine back to normal. I have a delonghi nespresso very similar to the one in your video. Many thanks for your videos.
To exit the discaling mode you have to pres both buttons for only 3 seconds. It is almost impossible for water to reach the electronics even if you put the machine upside down.
Omg this is so helpful! I was doing descaling today (first time after 8 years lol) and wondering why coffee keeps coming out after 20+ flush. Also can I ask is it normal to have water leaking into tray (mostly from the back side of capsule chamber) when running descaling? Only ~5% leak directly into tray in espresso mode but lots of leaking when descaling.
Ah yes, when you are descaling, do you put in a coffee capsule? If not, the water "falls" directly down into the drip water reservoir before it reaches the outlet nozzle.
Didn't work for me. Tried everything now, descaling, full clean, removal of capsule plate and cleaned the holes with a pin. 3 times I've taken the machine apart now (which was not an easy task). I'm wondering if there is an o-ring or seal somewhere that has gone but none of the videos mention this...
Hi Adrian, I have the same coffee machine as the one on your video. I start having a leak from the bottom of the coffee machine. Any idea what may cause that?
Hi, quick question. My Nespresso machines water is dripping from the top. Do you think that is the same issue? Or do you think it’s the o ring that needs replacement ? Or maybe it’s a different issue? Water is runing smooth from the nozzle but splashed from the top where I close the capsule.
I think I may have gotten water inside the motor because now the thing is just working by itself and I cannot stop it unless I unplug it. I'm going to let it dry and hope that I did not "kill it". But thanks for the tip! A lot of black stuff came out.
@@benassy69 thank you for your reply! So far my machine only issue is the dripping of coffee might be a little small , do u have a video of solving this?
The basic original design has the narrow end of the capsule perforated by three prongs and water pumped into the capsule till the pressure is high enough to press the foil covering the wide end of the capsule which presses against a waffle textured perforated panel to the point where it bursts in many locations by being pressed against the waffle allowing the coffee to flow out. On top of that, since the first original model, the design has been modified to rely on a silicone seal on the capsule itself to seal the capsule in, just so that clone capsules cannot achieve the appropriate 19 bar pressures needed for traditionally brewed espresso hence water leaks into the drain oan id no capsules are in the machine which was not the case with the original model. Now, if the perforations on the waffle plate are clogged perhaps with grounds, then the pressure may increase above desired limits forcing water to leak into the drain pan. If a capsule was not packed and tampered appropriately, the foil may not break and nothing will flow out. There are two O rings to prevent leakage at the pump and where the capsule fits in to ensure the pressurized water enters the capsule, these can leak over time. I found with the original model that sometimes would not flow out but just removing the capsule and either reinserting it or inserting another would allow the coffee to flow. Of course, that original model was about twenty years ago and can no longer be purchased, the new models such as the Insinnia shown, have features so that clone capsules are less likely to produce reasonable espresso and hence are more likely to leak water into the drain tray and I did not see such leakage till these newer models. Cleaning the machine thoroughly mostly addresses the perforated waffle plate becoming clogged though sometimes you need to disassemble the machine to remove the waffle plate and insert a pin through each perforation to clear them thoroughly but you may also inadvertently widen the holes resulting in excessive flow rates lowering the quality of the espresso. There are now clone machines that have different seal and perforated designs that are friendlier to clone capsules which may suit your needs better. All I can say is that the original nespresso line uses pressure to extract the flavour thus creating the crema that are produced but the new Vertuo line uses centrifugal force to extract the flavours and create the crema. Personally, I prefer the original pressure method as it is the traditional method of producing espresso but some coffee shops such as Second Cup, switched to centrifugal pump method nearly a decade ago. Disassembling the machines seem to be a real pain as much of it are press fitted hence the tabs are easily broken or bent, however there are videos of people disassembling these coffee machines both to clean them and to replace the O rings and apparently once you've disassembled it once, it's a lot easier to disassemble thereafter as everything will have been loosened.

You’re a life saver! You have just prevent me of buying a new machine!
Thank you very much!
Take care.
All the best from Portugal!
This video and its advice was just what I needed to return my Pixie to proper operating condition. Thank you for the post Adrian !
My machine was slightly different but just quickly did it and it seems to be just the normal slow drip you normally get in the tray so really grateful, thanks.
I only did the brushing and that did the trick! My Nespresso is working! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you. It fixed the problem of juddering and the flow. Now flowing easily. Fingers crossed. Thank you !!!
Thanks! You avoided me taking the pixie apart and this fixed the leaking problem! Thanks a lot for the video!

Thank you so much for this very helpful (and easy) tip. It quickly fixed the problem I was having with leaking.
Salvou a minha cafeteira, muito obrigado!

Nice and helpful video. Thank you for sharing 🙏🙏🙏
My pleasure 😊
Thank you for sharing this helpful video! So kind of you! 🙏🙏🙏
Many thanks Adrian; it works now and I saved a lot of time
Acabo de hacerlo ahora y funciona. De momento. Gracias por el video🙏👍🌴
Your help is really appreciated thankyou
Thank you for this !!! Really needed it
A minha está vazando muito e já até pensei em comprar outra. Pelos muitos comentários deve funcionar. Vou testar. Obg pelo vídeo.
Somthing I didn'tt find in anoyher videos, thanks.
you just saved my machine, thank you so much
Thank you Adrian! You save me!
I was already looking to buy a new machine... :P
Thanks a lot for your useful video. Now my coffee machine is back as new!!!
Actually, this worked for me!! Thanks
Super advice and instruction!
Thank You Very Much!!! Worked for me.

@@benassy69 Thank you. It finally exited descaling mode after a long wait. Don't quite know if it was time or if I did something.
Glad it worked out in the end.
The same happened to me. I’m trying to exit that mode

Same problem 😢 how can i fix it
Oof this did a lot of good! Its still leaking a bit, but I think it needs a bit more water pressure than the water from the tap.
Didn't work for me. Tried everything now, descaling, full clean, removal of capsule plate and cleaned the holes with a pin. 3 times I've taken the machine apart now (which was not an easy task). I'm wondering if there is an o-ring or seal somewhere that has gone but none of the videos mention this...
Take a look on my last video on my channel. There I show how to change the oring.
Thanks! works perfact.
Thank you
Hi Adrian, I have the same coffee machine as the one on your video. I start having a leak from the bottom of the coffee machine. Any idea what may cause that?
Is it hot or cold water under the machine?
The best way thanks
I have this same machine, I want to dissassemble to clean te diffuser. Where is that video for this same machine?
Hi, quick question. My Nespresso machines water is dripping from the top. Do you think that is the same issue? Or do you think it’s the o ring that needs replacement ? Or maybe it’s a different issue? Water is runing smooth from the nozzle but splashed from the top where I close the capsule.
Hi. I suspect the big O-ring is not making a tight seal on the top part.
I think I may have gotten water inside the motor because now the thing is just working by itself and I cannot stop it unless I unplug it. I'm going to let it dry and hope that I did not "kill it". But thanks for the tip! A lot of black stuff came out.
Hey! The same just happened to me. Could you finally fix it?
My machine has no leak but do I need to clean this area once a while ?
No need for disassembly for cleaning if there is no leak. Just run the machine without a capsule and with some discaling solution.
@@benassy69 thank you for your reply! So far my machine only issue is the dripping of coffee might be a little small , do u have a video of solving this?

Hi, what model is this?
NESPRESSO PIXIE
Thank you, Adrian! You might have just saved me from buying a new unit.
Worked great for me thx
Had this in the garage just unpacked but can figure how to assemble with tray bottom
My nespresso coffee machine does not draw water, I wonder why?

I tried this and now the red light is on permanently?
👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
You saved my Nespresso ... by my toothbrash
