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? ☕🤎
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.
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!
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
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!
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
The video was very helpful. The second tip was the winner, the toothbrush idea made the difference. Thank you!
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?
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
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👌
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
Thank you! I thought my machine was broken but I followed your first tip and water is flowing through👌✨
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
Here is one that none has suggested but I discovered on my own, take off the tank, run a few times and then connect the water tank again and run. Fixed this issue for me instantly.
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
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!
Thank you!! I had an old Essenza (the one dome-shaped) that was forgotten in my old office, unused for at least 5 years. Brought it home, cleaned it, then tried descaling, but absolutely no water coming out. Ready to throw it away. But now, thanks to your video and a few hours of patience, I got it running again as new!!
Glad I could help! Happy it’s now working !
@@larpy You mean "Happy it's NOW working!" :)
@@SGMLft96 yes haha happy it’s now working
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
Please please help!! I have the new Nespresso Essenza. Alj of a sudden the water stop running while making a Lungo. I clean the machine regularly. Any other suggestions. Also followed your video step 4 step.
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!
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
Hi, thanks for the video.
I would like to get help. every few days my machine does not put out water and both lights are flashing. I tried to do as you explained in the video but it doesn't help. what can i do?
Great video. Saved me buying a new machine!
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
Any suggestions for a Citiz that doesn’t even make that noise when you press the lungo or expressso buttons?
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.
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 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!
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 : )
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
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. 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 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 😩
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
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!
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.
I'm really thankful your video showed up after my search !!
thank you- so helpful. thank you for taking the time to rescue pixie owners!
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
Thanks buddy , I didnt know I could scrub the pyramid plate I was just trying to paper clip trick with no luck . But the scrubbing helped . Great video
Hi..nice video!..my nespresso shoots out water before brewing!!like for 1 or 2 seconds ..do you know something about it?
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
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!!
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
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.
Thank you! You saved me $200.
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..???
My coffee machine is spewing water I pulled it apart and found that the housing cylinder what ever you may call it has cracked can I get a replacement part
Thank you so much ! This fixed my machine. I just had to keep running water through. Must of been a air lock.
Thanks a lot. I ended up finding out that the issue was with a new brand of coffee pods that I purchased. Theyare made of plastic instead of aluminum like the original nespresso or a couple other brands I tried. Apparently my machine cannot puncture and smash it to extract the coffee and get the water through. I have a DeLonghi.
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.
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). 🤷🏼♀️
Thank you so much ☺️
Could you please show us how to increase the heat 😬 it’s a little bit cold not even warm!!
You’re welcome ☺️ Unfortunately you can’t make the coffee temperature hotter. It shouldn’t be cold. It be roughly 70 degrees.
Genius! Thank you so much. Toothbrush did the job. 👍👍
Thanks for the instructions. My coffee machine is not making any sound when I press the lungo button. It was working fine, During descaling it just stopped and now it's not pumping water at all. No sound of pump either when i press the button. Any idea? what could be wrong? Thanks.
Did you find out how to fix yours? Mine is doing the same. Thanks.
Hello and thanks for the tips. But my expresso machine won't stop pouring water. What can i do?
My new machine is producing burnt flavored and undrinkable coffee. Seems odd.
Any suggestions ?
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 😊
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?
thank you fore the help! I have the old version you explained at the very end and you got it working. you are the man!
Thank you so much for your smart tips, they have really helped me.
hi, I just did your advice…and now there’s already water dispensing out from my espresso machine but I got another problem, the little spring came out when I tried to clean it with brush…and there’s water leak from underneath everytime I make coffee, I think it’s because of that little spring that came out…can you please tell me what to do? one problem got fix, new one came 😓😢
Thanks so much man ! All it took was the toothbrush and it worked straight away 👍💪
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.
I cannot open the slider door to put in the capsule. It seems there is a loose part, perhaps the capsule holder obstructing it. When I run the water, it dispenses into the capsule waste/dripbox rather than through the spout. I have ensure the spout is not blocked by passing a wire through the nozzle.
Any suggestions?
Model Krups XN250
Thanks bro! Saved time and money repair.
Thank you so much for the detailed video, the toothbrush clean worked for my machine❤
Thank you very much, help me a lot in understanding what needs attention, maintained, and what to look out for
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
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
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
Great to hear ! Yes it’s normal for some residual water to come out of the spout and into the capsule container when you lift the lever
@@larpy thanks
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 :/
Sorry I hit send by accident. Can you reset the coffee button to go back to the factory setting? Thank you for any help
Yes you can reset coffee pour lengths to factory settings. What model is your machine?
@@larpy I have the small Essenza unit
thank you so so so so much i hope all your wishes come true.
You’re welcome happy to help
Coffee capsules are not being pierced
simple advice but very helpful: I got my Magimix working again, thanks!
Awesome ! Great to hear
Good investigative approach. Thank you for the tips.
Have you any tips on fixing a leak underneath the machine?
Having the same issue. Did you find a solution Stephen?
I have the same issue... idk how to fix it and I’ve had this machine for over 3 years
It could be the seals that hold the pipes through which water passes, or maybe the pipes themselves. You need to un-assemble your machine and observe where the water is exactly leaking from. I can help showing on how to do it if you don’t know on how , there are plenty of videos here on RUclips on how to un-assemble anyway :)
Thank you. Cleaning of the plate and flushing through a few times sorted my machine right out
Hi, i have the same nesspresso.
I have a problem that my coffee is too watery and tastes bad, it seems to be bad pressure.
i did descaling too but nothing has changed
Excellent comprehensive guide to troubleshooting.
Very helpful and fixed my Nespresso Magimix!
Thank you! It was very helpful to know about the auto-priming function.
You’re welcome !
Thank you. The toothbrush did the trick.
I have a D50 that won't pump water. It has a slide on top at the front of the machine that pushes back to allow the capsule to be inserted. How do I get air out of this machine?
Do you have any troubleshooting tips for the milk frother not drawing up the milk. Getting a flash soon after holding the froth button down for a latissima
osasako Try dismantling all the parts and cleaning. With the silicon tube make sure there’s no blockages and ensure it’s the right side up. If it still doesn’t work try descaling.
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.
Thank you your third tipe saver me from buying a new machine
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
I hit it a little bit on the right side and it's working 💪
Have an issue with the essenza espresso, when I press lungo coffee , it doesn’t give lungo but short
Is it normal to find water in the capsule container? When I opened it to remove the used one I also found some drops there. Thanks for your video.
After pulling out my nespresso from years of storage, I could not get the pump to prime. Tried everything. Finally pouring boiling water in the reservoir did the trick.
Do you repair Nespresso Citiz that don't prime water?
Yes it can be repaired by Nespresso. Contact Nespresso in your country
The toothbrush worked for me. Thank you, thank you so much!
