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.
Wow. I've been watching every TH-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.
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!!
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 🙏🏼
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!!!!
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!!
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.
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 🙏🏽
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 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!
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!
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!
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.
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!!
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!
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
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.
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! 😮
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.
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 ❤
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.
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!
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
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
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!
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! 👏
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 TH-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 !!
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! 😊
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!!!
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 ☕️ 😂
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!
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!
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.
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!
Man, i tried every single method on TH-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.
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!
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! 👍🏻
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!
Thanks!
Thanks :)
This is the only method that worked after trying multiple other ways. Thanks you're a genius!
Nothing worked until I tried this. A thousand thanks from Argentina!!!!
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.

I tried all the other steps in TH-cam videos but this is the one that worked like a champion.
Just bought my new nespresso and im glad that I didnt waste much of my time when i first look into your video! thanks much!
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!!!!
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!
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!!
Genius!!! I have tried everything and thought it was broken!! Thank you!!!
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
Absolute legend. I tried everything else and THIS WORKED!. Tried about 4 times and BAM!!!! Thank you!
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.

Amazing. Was about to give up when I found this clip and it worked... First time! Thank you!!
Thanks to you my wife now thinks I am a God-like engineering genius and my marriage is assured 👍🏻. Cheers buddy!
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!
Thank you so much. The airlock trick worked. My machine was in storage for 3years and I thought it was broken. Your trick worked.
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!
Tried this method and it's the best working method among many others that failed. Thank you!
I had tried everything. It took me a few times to do it GENTLY and then it worked like a charm. 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!
I spent 4 hours trying everything, then I came across your video. Worked first time. Thank you Adam

Worked perfect. The "detach and re-attach 100X" part worked for me. Thanks man!
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!
You saved our Sunday morning! Didn’t have a syringe but used a ziplock bag full of air as a plunger to force the water through the system.
This was a great quick fix, glad I didn’t start by dismantling the machine!
Thanks for your fix for Nespresso not pumping water. Saved me on holidays! 🎉
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
called nespresso, they guided me through a bunch of steps that did nothing. this worked. thanks man!
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.
I was about to scrap my pixie before I watched this. Worked perfect! Thank you man
Glad it helped!
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.

Perfect! Fixed instantly. Saved us on holidays from caffeine withdrawal. Thank you 🎉🎉
It took about a half a dozen tries, but it worked! Thank you!😊
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.
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, with perseverance, all of a sudden, lots of bubbles came up, and it worked
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
Just tried on my 6 years old Nespresso Lattissima Touch and it worked perfectly, thank you!
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!
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!!
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 ❤
Thank you! Neither the plastic bag nor the ‘push it on or off’ worked for me. Yours just did!
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.
Only approach that worked for me, somehow the angle did everything, thank you!!
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!
Works a charm! My Inessia had been sat doing nothing for a couple of years and now it works perfect again!
My guy!! I was giving up and the comment made me keep trying. About 15 tries and it worked!!
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.
Thank you for the fix. My wife is now happier and more awake.
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.

Thank you - took 15-20 tries on a second hand machine from 2010 barely used - but it worked!
My 1st coffee was stuck. Now, I'm enjoying it. 😀
THANKS A LOT!!!!
Hallelujah! I watched one TH-cam video after another and yours did the trick. Shew!
This was the method which worked for me after only a couple attempts. Thank you!
Tried the straw, turkey baster and ziplocks bag method. All messy and didn’t work. This worked INSTANTLY. Thank you!!
Thank you so much! Worked on our L’or Phillips Barista system!
I have been at this for over an hour this video saved me. Thank you so much for the simplest and most effective method!!
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
Thanks, this worked perfectly in about 30 seconds. I now have three working machines!
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! Saved me from thinking it was defective out of the box!! 3 tries and it started pumping water.
Thank you so much man you just afford a lot of money and waste of time and a long distance to travel to.
Thank you so much
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.

Fixed the airlock in my Delonghi Espresso machine first try. Thank you!
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 ☕️ 😂
Thank you so much for making this video!! I managed to fix my Nespresso that i haven’t used for years

Tried and bingo first time went through, nice one buddy , from 🇹🇱 Timor-Leste
I tried this method for a bit and was going to smash this with a hammer. Just when I was about to give up it worked!!! Thank you so much!

The MacGyver of our times!
Worked like a charm!
Thanks bruh!
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!
I have Nescafe Dolce Gusto and was close to disassemble it, but your method worked out succesfullly. Thanks a lot!
Man, i tried every single method on TH-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!!!!
This is the only method that worked for me. It works well . . . just like the man says.
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!
You are a freaking genius man... u have no idea.. how much I have tried to get this one fixed
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!
Thank you! This was so much easier than the plastic bag.
I have a machine I’ve tried everything but your water tank trick did the job thank you
Excellent! This is the one thing that we found that actually worked. thank you.
OMG… it worked! It worked the first time I tried! I’ve tried other methods before chancing upon your video. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Awesome! Fixed! Tried balloons, bags everything. Your trick did it!
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! 👍🏻

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
WOW! tried everything else.... It took a few times AND watching the way you fixed the second one but SUCCESS!!!!! THANK YOU
This method worked a treat on my Lavazza machine, it’s as good as new again! Thanks for the tip! 👍🏻
