Thank you for the video! About a month ago my TS started having problems. At first it was just the low temperature of the milk, but now I have water leaking from this valve. The part number you have in the video is 592, the only compatible one I can find is 594 12 24v v5 6772332. I will order it from eBay, hope it will fit the system :) I just sent you a request for the parts manual, please!
I’d I still had the caffeine would. Mine has been retired for some time now. If you haven’t already look through the video comments for the service manual link. This can help a lot
Hi, I’m after some advice from you. I have the barista ts machine. Firstly it started to take no milk in and also not draw any hot water through. It would just dump it in the drip tray. At this point it was still producing coffee. However, after running out of water it will now not take in any water to fill the machine. Can you help identify what’s wrong? Thanks in advance.
hard to say. it sounds like you may ahve an issue with the same valve asx in the videos, but could also be the overpressure system on coffee side too. not sure. requires more diagniosis
Now I got the dreaded flashing "The drip tray is missing" on the screen. When I measure the tray switch I got 1.5V when not engage and 0V when engage. Is this normal?
I'm not sure, it's a reed switch if I recall but not sure if normally closed or open, or the voltage. I would assume it is correct however. This sounds more like a board signal issue than the sensor. Hard to tell tho
My machine has started to have these sizling/fizling noises after using milk so I suppose it is the ceramic valve? Is it possible just buy the the ceramic valve instead of the the whole kit including the motor?
I'm not sure. It's possibly the ceramic valve. Are you noticing any water or steam leak? I'm unsure if you can buy a refurbished kit or just the white le valve and motor assembly. There have been multiple versions so it is unlikely you can just buy a rekit for the head.
@@JimTheCoffeeGuy Thank's for sharing the diagrams. The machine works and it is difficult to say if it leaks as there is always a little bit of moisture when I open the machine. I The machine has brewed about 5 500 cups so mayby it is time to change the ceramic valve?
@@joakborj I would say yes, it couldn't hurt to change the ceramic valve. It could be a leaking overpressure device attached to the ceramic valve too. Again, hard to say.
@@joakborj that's right, the little black nub. I'm not sure on sourcing the correct ceramic valve I'm sorry. They were up to version 5 a few years ago when I made my videos but I'm not sure now. The part number has likely changed since then also. If it is for the same model machine as yours, and had the same input/outputs it should be compatible
@@joakborj har du löst ditt problem? :-) Jag misstänker att jag har liknande problem som dig… Ett ”vinande” ljud medans maskinen är igång, det kan även förändras lite när man pillar på menyn… Sedan så brukar jag få en del vatten i droppbehållaren trots att jag alltid har ett glas ståendes under själva munstycket… är detta normalt?
No sorry, I'm not familiar as I only used prefiltered water in my machine. Having said that it sounds like you need to run the filter change program in the system menu (memory is foggy on this sorry)
@@RobvanTichelt-sf7wo what exactly is wrong, does it come up with an error message? It sounds like you have a restriction somewhere in the water system.
So I have returned mine twice because it stops grinding and says that the beans are empty (they aren't). I clean and empty and clean more and refill and repeat multiple times then give up and return it. Melitta says 'oh we just cleaned it and now it works'. Hmmmm. Anyway, it has happened again and I just can't be bothered to box it up and return it AGAIN. Is it worth taking the back/top/other side off and trying to fiddle with the sensor? Or should I give up and chuck it away (am tempted to as it's been such a pain).
Two things come to mind. 1, try adjusting your grind slightly coarser and see if this helps, 2 try a different bean/roast. Both may have an effect. If it still does it I'd say send it back again with notes of what you've tried and that it is a reoccurring issue that is not just cleaning related as they have done this before. If it's under warranty I'd ask for a refund or complete replacement unit if they can't find anything else wrong with it. I'm sorry you've had so many issues. They are normally very reliable :-(
I have a brand new barista ts smart and instead of foaming it spitting milk, I tried sucking milk from the melitta container and also from a cup , tried cleaning it with cleaning solution and to put the milk container on high place and nothing seem to work! any idea what could it be?
I'd check that you don't have an air leak or blockage at the spout. Remove the milk foaming unit and give it a wash and reinstall. If your issue persists and it is brand new, I'd return it and get a replacement as it could be faulty perhaps?
It’s the type of milk you’re using. It’s designed for cows milk and barista versions of alternative milks. It will not work properly with non-barista versions of alternative milk as the protein content and therefore the viscosity is incorrect.
@@robinisathakur i can confirm this, but also you could try with different types of "milk" , what happens when the milk container is very low or if you hold it up a bit so it flows more easily in. Not too high though, or it ll start flowing by its self.
Hi Jim, my machine started giving me less and less milk and then it stopped drawing milk up completely so I started doing my milk separately. Then it stopped giving me coffee too?
@@JimTheCoffeeGuyThanks, I have the latte setting to give a large amount of milk. I began to noticed the amount of milk froth was getting less and less and was having to press the button after the latte was supposedly finished to get extra milk. There was plenty of steam/noise and it was trying but nothing was appearing in the mug. I kept using the machine but pressed the coffee button and then added my own microwaved milk. And then all of a sudden it wouldn't give me anything. I have been cleaning it when told to using melitta chemicals. Thanks
@@apj1000 if you are getting plenty of steam, but no milk you likely have a blocked milk frother. This is the rubber piece in the outlet where the milk hose attaches. It is removable and can be cleaned.tske a look at this and let me know how you go.
@@JimTheCoffeeGuy hey mate, same problem but mine just stopped giving milk after a great coffee one day, no warning. i know about the rubbers & they're fine, huge steam, i think its gota be a split diaphragm in the milk pump, if it has one or in a tube as the pump is strong & the same beat as it always was & the steam is strong, no blockages. I don't think its the the steam action that pumps it from the container to the frother so its the pump system somehow. its not the type of milk. just read from your reply there are no pumps, i don't know how it can be as i've checked that & it's a simple system.
@@michaelg6364 there is no milk pump, it runs Venturi effect. Steam from thermoblock runs through the multi valve, and then put via a Teflon tube iirc. If you are getting strong steam, the issue is between the cold milk and the steam, most likely an air leak that stops milk being sucked up
Hi Jim, the caffeo barista machine we have has stopped taking on water. Any idea of how we can fix this? We think it needs descaling but not sure how to perform the operation.
Interesting. Can you be more specific re: stopped taking on water? Does the water pump make a loud buzzing noise? Does it run water through on startup? Or is the only issue when making coffee?
Hi Jim, I have issue with water too. Water not coming out in start up, grinding coffee and chocking out dry grounded coffee. Can find some water in the bottom tray too after coffee not made. And also steam coming on the top of the mashine. My mashine is melitta Barista TS. Thanks
I can't recall part number. It may be hidden somewhere in all the comments on one of the videos? Let me know if you can't find it. I ordered mine through Melitta Australia directly. If you need one I'd suggest eBay or your local Melitta service centre.

Hi Jim, when i put the brewing unit in - i have a clicking noise like somethin is not connecting. It goes on for around 10 seconds, stops then another 15 seconds and then the machine says error 8 and switches off. Any ideas :( ?
Well that is an odd one. I don't know any error codes sadly. It sounds like the brewing unit positioning is wrong or the deuve motor is faulty. Can you remove the brew unit and move it up and down manually? Also check for any buildups hiding somewhere that could be causing a jam.
@@JimTheCoffeeGuy well the beans don't seem to be dropping to grind so wanted to get inside tried the 6 screws on the rear panel but it didn't seen to want to come away at the bottom near the mains cable
@@franny6572 you want to get the top panel off and take a look at the bean 1/2 selected mechanism. Could be a damaged gear or failed motor. It should be a matter of releasing 3 or 4 small plastic tabs/clips. There are two around the top of the water tank section, and either 1 or 2 on the brew unit side. You will also need to take the decaf/tablet chute lid off, remove a small rubber cover and then remove a screw underneath it. Hope this helps
The machine does not have a milk pump, it uses a Venturi effect to suck milk through. If the machine is outputting steam but no milk is coming through then you have a blockage in the milk line/outlet head or an air leak. If no steam is being made at all it could be the valve or thermoblock.

What are the symptoms that lead to replacing the valve? Would be useful to include this detail.
Good point! Initial symptoms were leaking water from underneath the machine, and low milk drink temps
You need to show us how to take side and top panels off - they are really tricky and breakable.
