I had put my Nespresso away for more than a year and know I decided to use it again and for my surprise it was not pumping water. I checked the internet for a solution and yours was the best. Thank you for your video.
My machine is probably somewhere around 9 years old. I just got off the phone with them to troubleshoot and after several attempts of their tips they offered me a discount toward a replacement since it is out of warranty. I wasn’t satisfied with that solution so I took to TH-cam. I did your trick and what do you know!! It worked! Thank you for sharing this and saving me money!
THIS is the best way to fix the problem. I tried the bag method, the tube method, and the straw method without success. This works like a charm! Thanks so much for posting this.
Grazie! Ho provato tutti i metodi possibili e questo è l'unico che ha funzionato! Dopo 3 volte ho sentito l'acqua entrare e la macchinetta ha iniziato a funzionare
SIR!!! You are the goat! I have a verturo machine and while i love it, the pods are expensive and and the Starbucks ones are gross. I forgot I had the original machine, but had not used in 2 years. I bought some really good coffee pods for the original machine and when I woke up at 5:30 this morning, expecting to have a great latte my machine was not pumping out water. I found another video telling me to use a straw lol when I tell you that at 5:30 this morning half asleep I’m sucking out of a straw with no luck Lmao . I had another espresso machine in my Amazon cart ready to spend over $100 until I found your video. I ordered the most generic infant Tylenol from target pick up. Went to go get it and fixed my machine in 10 minutes. Thank you so much!!
Thank you very much! Just descaled my machine today and ran into this problem. Bought a syringe and tried this method. Now my nespresso machine works again, thanks to you!!
Hey Sammi, I just went through the process as you described and it worked perfectly. Thanks a bunch. I had not used my Nespresso for quite some time - had run out of capsules and then didn't get around to buying new ones. I was just drinking coffee instead. Now I got a big box of capsules for Christmas. But then the machine didn't produce the espresso, it was just whirring. I was disappointed and thought I had to get a new machine possibly. I pumped about three syringes of water into it until water was pushed out the front end. Then I put the little plastic plate back, snapped the water tank on, and now I'm sitting here typing this review while sipping a hot espresso. Much appreciated!
Thank you! I tried many other techniques shown in other videos, but this one worked like a charm. My one mistake was not immediately replacing the strainer, as shown in your video, so the tan wouldn't release water, but once I figured out that mistake, I followed your instructions exactly and it worked first time. Thanks.
Thank you so very, very much. This was the only thing that worked for me. My machine has been sitting for at least five years and wouldn't work. This worked so well!
Got this exact machine brand new two days ago. Didn't pump water. Returned it for a replacement. It didn't pump water. Used the ziplock bad method, nothing. Used your method. Bingo! Thanks for the help!
This worked on my first try. Machine fixes within 5 minutes! Thank you so much for sharing. I tried ziplock and blowing first to no avail. This method was much easier and less effort needed. 👍🏻
It worked a treat! All the other tricks with the plastic bag and the lifting up and down of the water container were a failure. Thank you very much for your helpful video! 👏🏽
Brilliant stuff. My machine wouldn’t work after being unused for a while. Couldn’t find anywhere to get help. Saw this video followed the instructions and it’s fixed. Cheers mate!!
You saved my life, I was dying for a coffee and my machine just got stuck. The bag trick didn't work out but the syringe worked like a charm! Thank you
Thanks Sammi, your fix worked fantastically. I too hadn't used my machine for a while and was disappointed when it wouldn't work. I tried you fix and hey presto we're back.👍
Thank you so much! It worked great for me. Tried all the other methods on TH-cam and Reddit and they just didn’t work.This one solved the problem in 5 minutes.
I tried the straws, the zip bag in the container, putting in and out the container, reset the machine, spent a long time in forums ,(even the one of Nesspreso) and none of that worked. This was the only solution for my Nesspreso machine clogged pipes. Very clever solution. All these issues happened after trying to decal my machine.
Thankyou so so much!! I got a friend's old machine to take to my son's while babysitting 1 day/week but it wouldn't pump any water. Was really disappointed, as I love a daily 10am coffee and I have it all perfected at home. Tried your method - and hello - perfect!!! Will be able to enjoy a coffee come Wednesday - yahoo :)
A very friendly and thankful hello from Germany. I am ready to give my machine into the trash... With your help she is recovered 😉 thank you so much... ☕ It was a beautiful moment to see the water flow again. 💐
Genius hack! My colleagues wanted to throw away the machine and I thought I could give it a try - this is the only video that actually helped and solved the matter in a minute. An extra tip is to use a large syringe and firmly adjust the end to the little hole to create a tight seal. Thanks for the video
Omg… I’ve been stressing about my nespresso machine and I tried this trick and it works 🎉 thank you so much. Making appointment to nespresso service center sucks. Sooo happy I chanced upon your video 👍
Let me tell you this was THEE way to make this thing work again! I tried a lot of other videos on this site and this method worked quickly and easily. The one thing I did different was to use a stainless steel straw rather than the baby syringe. You can get them on Amazon and they fit perfectly over the water intake valve. I blew through the straw first with air. Then I sucked up water and blew the water in once and voila! Ran perfect after an hour of trying other methods that got zero results. Thanks!
Omg omg! I dont know how else to thank you but really thank you!!!! I even called the customer service it didnt work. I followed ur video and used my own pump (that i use to put air in the gymball) and i left it as the descaling mode and it worked. I want to thank you!! The zip bag video did not work for me. But this surely worked!! I dont have to buy a new one. Thank you!!!!!!
Sério, sem falar inglês eu consegui consertar a minha Nespresso através desse vídeo. Muito obrigada! Seriously, without speaking English I managed to fix my Nespresso through this video. Thank you!
Thanks for the input! Another dirty but effective method I used was using a garden hose to make pressure on the water input. For sure I got a little wet but worked like a charm! Thanks for the tip Sammi!
This worked like a charm and was the only trick that worked for me. The other tricks on YT didn't work for me but this did instantly! Thanks for looking out!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! U SAVE MY MACHINE!! Was struggling with some other methods until I saw yours... Finally I can drink my coffee again... Cheers Mate!!!
So very glad I found this. Bought a machine at Goodwill and almost took it back. Tried this method and within 35 seconds I've got a second Nespresso machine that will go in my classroom. Thanks so very much!
Hey Sammy Well your fantastic little trick worked a treat. I tried the plastic bag with air to no avail and was a little sceptical about this doozie...... but IT WORKS!!!!! Thank you so much. Take Care of You.
Thanks a million! It worked on second try, with the pumping button on. I had tried to make coffee without attaching the water reservoir (lack of sleep), and my Pixie must’ve swallowed an air bubble. All is perfect now!
WOW. I mean wow. I tried EVERY other method possible and was getting so frustrated. The first 5 times I tried this it didn’t work. But I saw someone else comment that they actually had it on and hit the short pour button as they were shooting the water in with the syringe and that is the thing that worked for me. I turned the machine on, had the syringe filled with water and in the hole, and then the second I hit the short pour button I slowly pushed the water in and it worked!!! I’ve spent hours on this so very thankful that this worked! Thanks everyone for your tips!
You are a genius!…I was just about to throw the Nespresso in the bin having tried the old zip lock bag method and taking off/putting back on the water reservoir for about 100 times🙄🙄 and this worked on my 2nd attempt ! .Yipppee Doo🎉🎉.. I used a syringe given to me by my vet to give my cat medication. …I never dreamt that the super expensive veterinary treatment would actually save me money in the long run!!😳😳Thank you so much for posting this video,
Thank you!!!! I was too tired and did not stick the syringe in far enough or in the right spot but rewatched your video and worked like a charm. You’re a lifesaver, thank you!
Thank you for this. I tried for 3 hours all the other methods--- ziplock bag, blowing, up and down of water tank, but none of them worked. Instead of a syringe, I used a squeeze dust blower (the type you use for cameras). It took several tries, but it worked in the end. I picked out the little plastic piece with my fingers, and filled that space with water. Then I used the dust blower to suck the water up and try and squeeze it into the tiny hole. That way when the water came out it would just fill that space up and not overflow and make a mess. Makes it easier and quicker to just keep pumping it.
Genius! Different model and couldn't take the mesh out....Not used for a year and a 20ml syringe shot through twice cleared it perfectly! Thank you - two more to do now :)
It’s very easy to use, very straightforward instructions, the k-cups are very nice, you don’t need to brew an entire pot, recommend for a Christmas gift for sure!
you saved my day sir, thanks so much. Cheap descaler tablets from Walmart logged the machine but your solution fixed it, lots of rinsing with potable water since to get out any residual. Happy coffy times! ☕
You are the best ❤. Thank you for this video, I bought a latissima plus a few years back and just unboxed it. I used tweezers to try to remove the part in the back but there is a blue plastic preventing it from coming completely out. I didn't need to use the syringe. I just pulled that small piece up and down and it got rid of the bubble!! Solved the problem in 2min.
I wish I could give you a big hug and take you out to dinner, this did the trick!!!! I tried a few times and it finally kicked in and we got our water going, thank you so much!!!
Listen to this guy. All the other ways (placing the reservoir on gently, plastic bag) DONT work. The baby syringe method to push the airlock worked right away. Amazing! Thank you!! My pixie is like new!!
Looked at lots of videos prior to finding this one, none of those techniques worked. This one worked great! What I found helped was running the pump for a couple seconds as you are injecting. Had to do about 7 repetitions of 5 mL each.
I had put my Nespresso away for more than a year and know I decided to use it again and for my surprise it was not pumping water. I checked the internet for a solution and yours was the best.
Thank you for your video.
I worked on my machine for 3 hours, tried almost everything on TH-cam and this is the only thing that worked. 😉🙌

Thank you! This is the only advice that helped me to bring my nespresso machine back to life after one year of being kept on a shelf.

Perfect! More than 1 year without using my Nespresso and this instructions worked out!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Same for me!
For those trying to solve the problem, I tried several other TH-cam ideas and nothing. Sammi's method worked immediately!!! Thanks !!!!!!

Another person here that worked for 3 hours -your method took less than 5 min. - THANK YOU~
Ty ty! This was the only thing that worked for a machine that wasn’t in use for years! I almost threw it away and now it works!
Tried all of the other youtube tutorials, and this is the one that fixed it!!!!!!! Thank you so much.
Got this exact machine brand new two days ago. Didn't pump water. Returned it for a replacement. It didn't pump water. Used the ziplock bad method, nothing. Used your method. Bingo! Thanks for the help!

Oh my God, I was about to upgrade my nespresso machine because of this and you saved it. Thank youuuu!!!!!!!
Thanks Sammi, your fix worked fantastically. I too hadn't used my machine for a while and was disappointed when it wouldn't work. I tried you fix and hey presto we're back.👍
Thank you!!! I have tried various methods on the web and none of them worked like this syringe method you showed us.
Bought one of these on facebook and it was not working. Tried this trick and brought it back to life. Thanks for the tip.
I didn't know what else to do and I tried exactly what you said. It worked! Thank you very much.
Thank you so much! It worked great for me. Tried all the other methods on TH-cam and Reddit and they just didn’t work.This one solved the problem in 5 minutes.

WORKS!
After hours trying different methods, this method worked and it took less than 5 minutes.

Thank you. I tried two other methods that I saw online before trying yours. Yours was the winner!
Thank You! I had tried the ziplock bag method prior but that did not work. Then I found this video and it worked perfectly!
You just saved my machine....was trying several ways, that is the only way that work. Many thanks !!!!!
Thanks man! I tried several other techniques before this with no luck. This worked for me exactly as described. Thanks again.
5 years later and this trick still works. Issue fixed. Thanks!
Omg… I’ve been stressing about my nespresso machine and I tried this trick and it works 🎉 thank you so much. Making appointment to nespresso service center sucks. Sooo happy I chanced upon your video 👍

It worked! Mine had been sitting for over a year like many people here. Many thanks for the vid!!
Unable to fix it for three hours, the moment I was about to give up, I watched your TH-cam video and finally succeeded.🎉 Thank you.😅
Omg omg! I dont know how else to thank you but really thank you!!!! I even called the customer service it didnt work.

Seriously, without speaking English I managed to fix my Nespresso through this video. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your post !! ...this worked for me (Ziplock didn't work) it took 3 syringes for me ...so happy !!! Thanks again!!!
Thanks for the input! Another dirty but effective method I used was using a garden hose to make pressure on the water input. For sure I got a little wet but worked like a charm! Thanks for the tip Sammi!
The garden hose is what finally worked for me, because of your comment! Many thanks!
This worked like a charm and was the only trick that worked for me. The other tricks on YT didn't work for me but this did instantly! Thanks for looking out!
I watched several Mahalo and none worked till I watched yours. Your method worked right away.🤙🏼👍🏼
Thank you! My Gf first didn‘t believe, then it worked and I was so glad! This was the only method that worked!!!
You're literally the ONLY VIDEO that worked!!! I appreciate you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! U SAVE MY MACHINE!! Was struggling with some other methods until I saw yours... Finally I can drink my coffee again... Cheers Mate!!!
So very glad I found this. Bought a machine at Goodwill and almost took it back. Tried this method and within 35 seconds I've got a second Nespresso machine that will go in my classroom. Thanks so very much!
I just fixed my nespresso for $3! 10/10, 5 stars, thumbs up. You are the best
Nothing else worked until this trick. Thanks! We had no seringe but with eye drops tool it worked after a couple trials
OMG Thank you so much, I tried the other ways but they didn’t work. I could I could feel the bubble as I pushed the water in. Thank you for posting 😊
Thank you so much! I thought my Nepresso machine bit the dust. Your tip worked like a charm.
Hey Sammy Well your fantastic little trick worked a treat. I tried the plastic bag with air to no avail and was a little sceptical about this doozie...... but IT WORKS!!!!! Thank you so much. Take Care of You.
Thanks a million! It worked on second try, with the pumping button on. I had tried to make coffee without attaching the water reservoir (lack of sleep), and my Pixie must’ve swallowed an air bubble. All is perfect now!
Salvou meu dia!!!😍👏🏻
merci, merci !! c'est le seul système sur internet qui a fonctionner pour reamorcé la pompe de ma cafetière...encore merci !!

Like others I saw many videos and tried without success so your video came like a lifesaver. Thanks!
This was the only option that worked for me. It took 3 syringes and I could hear the pump fill up. Thanks 👍🏼
Hi, may I ask with the Maschine on or off when you inject the water? Some Tipps say do it when the Maschine is on, I’m a little confused. Thanks!
Thanks a million, straight out the box and wouldn't work, just about to send it back and found your video. 5 minutes later everybody's happy.
Tried several other methods but no avail. You saved my day!
Genius! Different model and couldn't take the mesh out....Not used for a year and a 20ml syringe shot through twice cleared it perfectly! Thank you - two more to do now :)
I was saying to my husband “screw that, I’ll buy a new coffee machine”! But after following this simple instruction, it worked!
Thanks man!!!
I almost sent my Nespresso to the technical assistance.
You saved my life!!
Greetings from Brazil!
This works better than the Ziploc bag. You are a lifesaver!!
Thank you for the video. This fixed my machine after not using for 5 years. Ziplock bag doesn’t fix mine.
It took the hand pump I use for inflating my rubber dinghy, but it worked where all other methods had failed. Thanks you.
Thank you so much. I tried other methods all not worked. Your method worked perfectly. All l did is buy a syringe from the pharmacy! Only 50 cents!
Tried everything and this was the only trick that worked! Great tip!
It’s very easy to use, very straightforward instructions, the k-cups are very nice, you don’t need to brew an entire pot, recommend for a Christmas gift for sure!
you saved my day sir, thanks so much. Cheap descaler tablets from Walmart logged the machine but your solution fixed it, lots of rinsing with potable water since to get out any residual. Happy coffy times! ☕

After many different attempts, this worked at the first try! Thanks you!
I didn't have a syringe but I used my WATERPIK!!!!! The nozzle on a Waterpik fits perfectly in the hole.
Simply amazing. My nespresso is working again. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you .... i had tried 5. Videos to solve my problem and they were all useless ...no idea what i was doing wrong but like the fellow
Looked at lots of videos prior to finding this one, none of those techniques worked. This one worked great! What I found helped was running the pump for a couple seconds as you are injecting. Had to do about 7 repetitions of 5 mL each.
Thanks for the great video! Fixed my machine when other methods hadn’t worked! :)
THANK YOU! I tried the zip lock way to no avail, but using syringe and taking washer out of water basin to recreate suction worked like a charm!
This actually worked and was really easy to follow - coming from a 24 year old girl who sucks with anything electronic so thank you!!!
Thank you. I have tried almost all the methods on TH-cam. Only you benefited from it. Thank you
The only method that has worked for me!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you so so much.I tried all other solutions but nothing worked for me except for this
It worksss!!!! you saved my machine man! thanks from Argentina
Thanks for the tip. The problem with my coffee maker was just that and I managed to recover. Earned a like and a subscriber!
Thanks to all the other tutorials! But this is the one that worked for me! THANKS, SAMM YEDDY!!!
100% worked. Takes a fair amount of water to fully prime the pump.
Thanks for the video. 👍👍
