NESPRESSO HOW TO FIX No Coffee Flow Troubleshooting Maintenance

- Nespresso troubleshooting tips. How to fix your Nespresso machine and maintenance.
These troubleshootings steps will work on all Original line Nespresso machines Citiz, Le'cube, Essenza, Inissia, Pixie, Lattissima. All of the machine range use similar internal and external parts. I forgot to mention, please 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. Do not leave the capsule inside the extract unit. Always release the capsule by lifting the lever up after you make a coffee. If you have any further questions feel free to comment below.
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.
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!
Sonya Kaye Does it not puncture on both sides? foil side and bottom of capsule ?
FANBOY LARPEE it punctures on the back side. It is not puncturing on the foil side.
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?
@@larpy great video. Thank you. I am having the same problem with the pixie c60. The grid will not puncture the foil side of the (Nespresso brand) pod. Just water runs through. Any advice? ☕🤎
The video was very helpful. The second tip was the winner, the toothbrush idea made the difference. Thank you!
great video thanks. I wish they had maintenance instructions with the machine when I bought it. I had no idea bout cleaning the spout or running water through after use to clean it.
There's no one to describe how I'm so thankful to you I had a problem that It pumped but correctly I saw your video and it worked 😭♥️
You’re welcome. So happy your machine is working.
Genius! Thank you so much. Toothbrush did the job. 👍👍
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
Thanks so much man ! All it took was the toothbrush and it worked straight away 👍💪
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). 🤷🏼♀️
simple advice but very helpful: I got my Magimix working again, thanks!
Awesome ! Great to hear
Thank you so much ! This fixed my machine. I just had to keep running water through. Must of been a air lock.
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!
This was the fix for me- thank you!!
This works! Thanks
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.
U saved me!!! Thank u so much
really helpful. THANK YOU
Thank you, its working again 🎉🎉🎉
Have an issue with the essenza espresso, when I press lungo coffee , it doesn’t give lungo but short
Hello, thank you for the video.
My Essenza mini stopped working all of the sudden and it keeps blinking 3 times constantly. No water flow, no sound, just blinking. When I sent it to Nespresso for repair thay mentioned that the reason is that insects went inside the machine and that they cannot fix it..I was a bit shocked..but I still have hope that it might work one day..can you give me your advice?
Thanks in advance.
If it’s just blinking together both cup lights like the heating up mode and doesn’t make a noise when you press a button, unfortunately it needs to be repaired or in your case since the technician said there were insects better to buy a new one.
Do you repair Nespresso Citiz that don't prime water?
Yes it can be repaired by Nespresso. Contact Nespresso in your country
I have the nespresso c60 (orange sides) and mine won't pump water through, tried cleaning out with paperclip but water doesn't want to pump through. I cannot see a way to get into machine. Amy advice/tips? Thank you
Ensure water tank is connected properly and the 2 clips on the water tank lid goes into the two holes at the back. If you keep pressing the button and still no water I suggest you need a repair. Contact Nespresso in your country.
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.
Thank you. You solved my problem!
Thank you for this tip. I was having that problem this morning and it has solved it.
Thank you!
Any idea what to do when the lights will not stop blinking and it’s not heating up?
If it continuously blinks heating up. It will need to be repaired. However if it is blinking alternately it may be in descale mode. Press and hold the espresso and lungo button down at the same time until it stops flashing.
My machine do tik tik noice but didnt work whats the reason?
Nah. First it was the first issue you mentioned. But now it is like i click espresso button it starts blinking but no sound no movement nothing. Mini doesn't do anything. Then blinking stops. That's it. So now what's the procedure?
It’ll need to be repaired then. It’d be best to contact Nespresso. Check their website for there local customer service phone number. They have service centres in most areas.
Hello, I own a krups citiz and milk, the issue i am having is that when i press any button to make coffee first comes out just water and only after that comes out coffee.. it makes the coffee watery.. anybody had that issue? looking for a fix. Thank you!
My machine just stopped working properly. Lights up ok but capsule gets stuck. Lungo button only works for 7 seconds with very little water. When I cleaned with tooth brush, a foil cap fell out. Thought that was the problem but it wasnt...
Have you also tried to use a paperclip to poke up the spout and wiggle it around to try remove grinds stuck in the spout. and run water. If you've tried those things seems like you'll need to contact Nespresso for a repair
And also, when I push the handle down to release the capsule water pours out of that area. And I've also had water leak onto the counter after hitting the button a few times
I cleaned the plate with a toothbrush and inserted the paper clip, tried pushing the longo button several times and still the water comes out normal flow for only a few seconds and stops Model Number. BEC660CR04JAN1 Help Please
Try reprogramming the cup levels. Press and hold the Lungo button and water/coffee will pour until your happy with the level and then let go. Next time when you press it it will pour to that level
I have this machine and I turn it on, it lights up but when I go to use it, it pumps no water and doesn't make any noise then turns off
Same mine . What can I do ? Someone can advise?
Mine also, have you been able to fix since you posted this?
Me too. Any advice?
My unlock button is jammed
nespresso creastinsa stuk in cleaning mode . how i can fix it ?
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.
I am Thankful of all these tips but I have the same problem like Vodstick
Oh my God!! You are my life saver! I didn't realize how dirty my Nozzle was!!
Low pressure so water can’t get through the pod. Seal is not good allowing water to leak out into waste tank.
So how to fix that seal issue then as I have same issue with my machine
My coffee machine is doing the exact same and I don’t know how to fix it 😩
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?
Coffee capsules are not being pierced
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.
Great video. Saved me buying a new machine!
I have a question for you. My essenza mini is brand new and it is working perfectly. The only thing is that if I turn it on and wait let say 5 minutes before make the coffe and I press the espresso botton it starts blinking few time and then poring coffe. If I press the espresso botton right away the machine just works immediately. What could it be?
@@MrAghi72 the machine goes into a stand by mode after 5 minutes so if you don’t use it, it will go into standby and you’ll need to wait for it to blink and heat up again then you can make a coffee. You can change the standby settings. Download the user manual on the website
thanks for this, although my problem not covered. I descaled my machine and now it won't work, the lights are on but the motor does not switch on. I have checked for air bubbles. my machine is exactly the one in your video. help please!
Any suggestions for a Citiz that doesn’t even make that noise when you press the lungo or expressso buttons?
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!
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
Both buttons blinking on KY machine!what cam I do?
Are they blinking at the same time ? Blinking fast or slow ?
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.
So glad you were able to get it to work! No worries at all. Have a good day
Hi!.. great vid. Was wondering if you have any tips for a mini essenza that isn't puncturing the capsules (the frontend of the capsule). Much appreciated
Great video, my machine is pumping water but is not making coffee, only water comes out, I did everything you showed on your video and nothing change. Would you know how to fix that by any chance? Thank you!!
Same probelm here !! Try push abd hold the leverage until Coffee capsules are being pierced
Thank you so much, we have a nespresso we didn’t use since we moved back and I thought the coffee machine was broken because it was growling at me 😂
instablaster
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👌
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!😅
You’re welcome! I’m glad my video helped
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!
Well, the last answer is that the motor or internal pump just won't pump any water. I have a 2012 Pixie Model C60 and the motor comes on, but nothing comes out after I did all this cleaning. And it wasn't dirty anyway as I hardly use it. The motor does not sound right so I bet it is just too old. They all must have a lifespan. Any chance of taking it apart and looking inside to see if I can see the issue..???
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
Hello LARPE! I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY essenza N85.WAE, WHEN I PUT AN ORIGINAL COFFEE CAPSULE, WATER COMES OUT AROUND THE CAPSULE. IF I DO NOT PUT THE CAPSULE ON, I TURN ON THE COFFEE MAKER, I LET THE WATER RUN, IT COMES OUT HOT WITH GOOD PRESSURE BUT WHEN I OPEN THE CAPSULE DRAWER, WATER ESCAPES THROUGH THE TANK WHERE THE CAPSULE GOES AND FALLS INTO THE CAPSULE DRAWER. COULD YOU CONFIRM ME IF YOU THINK IT IS A BOARD PROBLEM (SEAL) ? OR DO I HAVE TO CHANGE THE WHOLE PISTON?
THANKS A LOT!
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 : )
I have a magimix, I wonder if you can help. Once I add the coffee pod, select the espresso (volume) my machine keeps running it will not automatically stop at the correct volume I have to stop it myself. It's very annoying
My new machine is producing burnt flavored and undrinkable coffee. Seems odd.
Any suggestions ?
Bullshit just bought it a week ago and wasted already several capsules. It does it randomly.
What to do if my machine does not go into normal mode even if I press 5sec both as told, swith on and of aswell an d repeat. No luck
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.
Thank you! I’m glad it helped!
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
Please help me ,mine not turning on at all it was working good last night but just suddenly stopped,i have no idea what should i do
My machine is not stopping the flow of water
Try reprogramming the levels
Hi there, the essenza 2017 model, no noise, no brewing, no water flow, lights are on but complete silence when i make a selection or lugo or espresso what can it be?
Hi! Do you have any tips on how to fix an essenza machine that doesn't pierce the capsules anymore? Water still flows through, but the capsules either don't get pierced fully, or just don't pierce at all. I've tried descaling the machine as well as cleaning the grid plate with a cloth. Doesn't help :(
How old is your essenza and which model exactly ? Do they don’t get pierced on the foil end of the back of the capsule ? please make sure you’re using genuine Nespresso capsules and they should have a glossy seal on the under side of the edge lip. If it’s not shiny and doesn’t have that seal that means the capsules won’t work. The new essenzas newer than 2012 rely on a seal of the capsule so if you use old capsules without that seal only water pours out and it won’t pierce the foil end.
@@larpy It's about 2-2.5 years old, Breville model (BEC220BLK). I only use genuine capsules, and the machine has been working fine until about a month ago where it suddenly just doesn't pierce them properly. Often the first one pierces okay, then if you try to do another one it just won't pierce. But lately even the first one sometimes doesn't pierce or only pierces in the centre. Definitely nothing to do with the capsules itself. I haven't changed anything.
I have same problem here
same problem here
Ditto.
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.
Hi, we have got the same Nespresso that on your video. We run descaling program this week and half way through, whilst putting back the water container with clean water to flush it through, the machine decided to stop the water flow. It was just growling. Thinking it was an air block, we’ve been pressing both buttons and also each of them individually but eventually Nespresso went quite and now doesn’t even make any sound🙁. Can you help please ?
Did you find a way to solve this? I have same issue :/
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.
My Essenza produces a smell of electrical burning and transfers the taste to the coffee.
Thank you so much for your smart tips, they have really helped me.
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
Hi my machine is not working when i press the cup buttons it just flashes need help please
Good investigative approach. Thank you for the tips.
Thank you. Cleaning of the plate and flushing through a few times sorted my machine right out
nice vid, thx
One more piece if junk coffee maker I have purchased over the years. Had a Kuerig that failed after about 6 months, now my Nespresso machine I've used literally 30 times is not working. Yes, followed all the troubleshooting tips, water filled, everything lined up, etc. and no coffee. Don't know why I waste money on this junk.
Must be unlucky because i've had 2 Nespresso machines 1 is already 10 years old the other is 4 years old with no issues at all. Go return it to the place you bought it from, get a refund or replacement. What model is it?
My machine is leaking water out from the bottom. What to do?
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!
Thank you! I fixed it! I have an old one, definitely. Had to push the lever back before it worked. You saved me!
You’re welcome ! So happy it’s fixed! Back to drinking coffee again 😊
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.
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 ?
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
THANK YOU!!!!! We were just about to send ours back but just kept on clicking the buttons and eventually water came out!
You’re welcome ! Glad I could help!
Thank you! I thought my machine was broken but I followed your first tip and water is flowing through👌✨
My Nespresso Machine doesn’t my the water hot ☹️😢
My nespresso is not blinking n water is flowing out wthout stopping
Thank you so much
I did all your tips one by one ,until the third & relance the first one and miracle!!!! Thank youuu soooo so much
You’re welcome ! Glad it helped ! Have a wonderful day
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.
Amazing ! Glad to hear you were able to fix it
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?
Thank you! If it’s not heating up and keeps flashing unfortunately it’ll need to be repaired.
Thank you so much
Hi Lapree thanks for the info I have tried all the tips and water flows clear but will not for love nor money perferate the capsule - any other ideas help :-)
Are you using Nespresso branded capsules? Some of the non Nespresso capsules won’t work in the machine
What if the light for espresso and lungo are flashing non stop?
Thank you! It was very helpful to know about the auto-priming function.
You’re welcome !
Thanks, great useful video! Question: on my machine which is the same as yours, both my espresso & lungo buttons give the same volume so the espresso doesn’t give out the 25-40ml. Any tips on how I can get this fixed (without paying the expensive nespresso call out fee)?!
@@rl9754 You need to reprogram the cup levels. Close the lever without inserting a capsule. Put a cup under the spouts Press and hold the button you need to reprogram and water will pour out. Let go when you are happy with the desired level. Next time you press that button it will go to that level
@@larpy excellent thank you!
Do you have any idea why our same Breville Nespresso would leak water (not coffee) at the front base of the unit? It's not leaking from the reservoir.
This is such a clear, simple, immensely helpful video! I learned 3 great things in 8 minutes and fixed my problems immediately afterwards!
Thankyouthankyouthankyou!
So glad it helped! thank's alot
I've cleaned my machine and the water flows normally but when I start putting in pods still nothing comes out. And what I noticed is that the machine is unable to poke holes in the head of the pod.
Same issue here
My machine is able to dispense the full amount of water when I press the espresso button without a capsule. However, when I put a capsule in the machine, it's only dispensing about a quarter or half of the espresso cup. Any idea why it's doing this? Thanks!
Could be a blocked pyramid plate. Try flushing water through the spout and using a toothbrush to brush that grid plate , like in my video.
The lungo isnt producing that much water
Thanks bro! Saved time and money repair.
I'm really thankful your video showed up after my search !!
I hit it a little bit on the right side and it's working 💪
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.
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!!
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!
You’re welcome! Great to hear your machine is fixed
BROOOOOOO !!! You fix my lovely machine 😍🥰😍
I have a problem with the Delonghi Nespresso Citiz EN 167, when I insert the capsule it first ejects water and only then coffee
Are you using Nespresso capsules?sometimes water comes out first when you use compatible capsules. This happened to me when I used other brand capsules
Yes, I use compatible capsules. I'll try the original one @@larpy
