Thanks so much for the video. I was pretty certain that my 10 yr old Intelia was on its last legs. Followed the steps and it’s running like new! Average 6 cups /day x 365 x 10 years = 22,000 cups. Amazing that it took that many cups before the filter got completely clogged. I’m going to add this procedure as an annual maintenance procedure.
I had the same flow problem and was thinking about buying a new unit until I saw this video. I took the metal mash (or the filter) off and found the backside had a layer of coffee grinds. Thanks to your video, the cleaning was easy and the system works fine!
I first followed the instructions on cleaning the dispenser video. It didn't do it, then came across this video, tried this too, and voila, from zero water flow to back to normal. Problem served. Thanks a lot mate, you saved me trying out various unnecessary part ordering and replacing as well as possibly buying a new machine. Very grateful!
Thank you very much for making this video. The filter of my coffemachine was black. I thought my machine was gone, dead. But with your video I can enjoy a home brewed cup of coffee again. I really appreciate you making this cleaning video.
We thought our Seaco Pico was slowly dying after 8 years. Refusing to believe it, I found this most helpful video. Ten minutes later our Pico is good as new. And yes, we will clean this well hidden filter annually..
Googled 'Saeco Aulika no water pressure', clicked your video, followed your steps (brew unit is almost identical), put back together and it works again! Thanks a lot!
I didn't have the exact same model, but the pieces inside were the same. I followed your instructions and our coffee machine is working again. Thank you.
PRIMA!!!! Auch bei unserer Maschine kam plötzlich kein Wasser mehr. Metallfilter nach dieser wirklich sehr guten Erklärung gereinigt. Funktioniert wieder tadellos. Vielen Dank für dieses Video. Das hat uns eine teure Reparatur erspart.
By far, the best spent 9 minutes on youtube: I have a much more expensive model, but worked just the same! Saved me $$$$, as I almost decided to purchase a new one. Thank you so much! ❤ Suggestion in case you are going to make a new video: your hand is blocking the view on a couple occasions, especially when you putting the piece back before it snaps in, and the video can probably be shortened, and even made into a short if you cut out observations of dripping coffee and running water. A more detailed description of the specific screwdriver could be also useful in the video.
Thank you for the video. My Intuita couldn't dispense coffee after descaling. I've used it for over 10 years and never cleaned that part. After cleaning, everything functions properly. Many thanks.
Marvelous; this fixed two issues -- continually lighting "prime" button, which required 3 or more tries to actually begin dispensing coffee, and the super-slow dripping of the espresso. So happy I didn't have to get it serviced and be without my beloved caffein delivery system for any length of time. THANK YOU!!!!!!
Thx man...watched this for a reminder on how to put the spring back. I thought I'd lost the glass ball and removed the U-bend in my sink. After an hour of searching I found it still in the brew set. Doh!!
Works on Saeco Xelsis 8782! Additionally, the dripping hole was clogged and I had to clean it with a needle, after I removed the parts as explained in the video! I was on the verge to send the machine to service, you are just brilliant! Thank goodness for this tutorial!
I have the Saeco Xelsis, followed this video to the T and voilà the brewing cycles are no longer cancelled, the coffee flow is consistent again and rinsing is functioning properly! Also, no more strange sounds!! Thank you so much!
Kedves Zsolt! It took longer to find the right screwdriver than cleaning the filter. Thank you for making this video! You saved us from spending a fortune on a new espresso machine. Greetings from Philadelphia!
Have had this issue before. In my case it seemed to be the outlet pipes on the front. Difficult to get that part out and rinsed because you have to take the housing apart and 'pop' a thoroughly glued cap of that sprout part you than have in hands. This time I had the same problem but sprout not dirty at all. Cleaned this metal sieve filter like in your video but no real result. Degreased and descaled without result either. Also checked all pipes and o-rings, nothing. In the end I decided to take out the grinder and clean it after years of use and clogged fatty bean dust.. and suddenly remembered that I had set the grinder screw on finest grind setting a year ago. Putting it back on more coarse grind after having reassembled the total machine gave a steady normal coffee flow. When I put it back to fine grinding the flow gets very slow again. Not sure why I didn't encounter this problem before but it might be the new brand/type of beans I have in the machine this week. Maybe they grind so fine which makes the press make such a dense tablet water can't get through fast enough..? Feels similar to pressing the ground coffee too much and/or too much tension when screwing into the machine on a hand-operated espresso machine. Hope this experience will help someone ever when checking these comments!
I am trying to get a finer grind, opened the machine and moved it manually past the finest grind setting. Extraction went up by 1 sec to 18 seconds. Still too short time. Any idea how far i can push the adjustment before braking the grinder. ?
NOTE: hold the filter up to a light before reassembly. Mine seemed ok but then coffee was still slow. Repeated steps and actually examined the filter closely and barely any light was coming through. So, I let the metal filter soak in a vinegar and baking soda mixture for 1h, scrub again and BINGO - back to perfect. (A Coca-Cola soak would work too but I dont have any LOL) Woot woot.
Mine was also clean but the small holes were blocked with invisible rests off coffee. I cleaned them with a tooth brush and checking close to a light that all the holes are clean before reassembly. Also used vinagre and baking soda. Now it works fine.
Thank you brother, I was desperate this morning and thanks to your video I could fix my Phillips, not the same model but very similar. Now is working like a charm, as you say at the beginning of the video, new life came to my coffee maker.
Thank you, I almost threw out my machine but your video saved it. It is a different model the one i have but worked exactly the same way, amazing. Thank you so much!
THANK YOU! My Intuita (very similar design) was intermittently refusing to pump, showing all the symptoms of being air-locked, the pump making a strange, quieter-than-usual noise, no coffee or water coming out. Had the machine dismantled and ready to replace the pump, then saw this - the metal filter plate was *extremely* clogged, and cleaning it out appears to have fixed the problem. Thanks again for taking the time to put this online.
Clear and straight to the point ! I was having a similar issue and this resolved it. Thanks for posting this ! Here’s to hoping I can push my Intuit another 5 years.
Thank you for this video. It saved me a few quid. As I didn't have that small torx screwdriver, I tied cleaning the part without disassembling and it worked for me. Great flow and great Crema. Thanks again for the pointer
Thank you so much. This worked on our Intelia Evo machine as well. The actual disc seems to still have some clogged holes, but I will soak it overnight in Napisan, which will probably fix that.
Thanks. My Series 5000 made very weak coffee after a while. The amount of coffe was only slightly less. I took it to a coffee machine service because I suspected that the grinder was not grinding properly, despite being set to the finest grade. The grinder was found okay, mechanic told me to buy a stronger roasted coffee. Cool. So I did at home you showed in this video, and the coffee is strong as before. Köszi. A én Series 5000-em egy idő után nagyon gyenge kávét főzött. A mennyiség csak kissé volt kevesebb. Elvittem szervizbe, mert arra gyanakodtam hogy a daráló nem őröl rendesen pedig a legfinomabb fokozatra volt állítva. A darálót rendben találták, és azt mondták vegyek egy erősebb pörkölésűt. Kösz. Miután én otthon ezt megcsináltam minden oké.
Well done, same thing happened on my philips 5000 series. The same problem, almost throw it away after 3 years of coffe making, until i saw your video!
Just did this to ours too and there is flow through the coffee dispenser now, machine wouldn't even let me turn it on to let me do a descale cycle before doing this.
Thank you so so much for this video, it definitely solved the issue! I was looking at throwing this machine away and get a new one, but I couldn't resist to give a try to 'repair' it and so happy I did! Thank you again so much
The SAECO Odea Giro Plus has the same brew group. When I dismantled the grid disk, it was completely clogged. The machine is 15 years old, so no surprises there... FYI the required screwdriver bit is TORX T-10
Thanks for this video. Partly solved my problem. Days after the cleanup, sometimes I could hear pressure buildup in the brew unit, no coffee nor water coming out and a steam sound coming from the brew unit after. Solve the problem with a slight touch of grease on the spring and on the glass ball. No more priming problem, or blinking light, or pump slowing down or pump clogged. Hope this help others. Note: make sure you use grease provided with machine or coffee machine cleaning kit since it is not harmful if consumed. Update (Two days later): Problem is back after few shots. Back to "prime" flashing light again requiring many attemps before getting a descent amount of espresso. Sometimes, I have to slap the side of the machine while priming and to get it back to normal. Maybe a bad electrical connection or sensor ?? I've ordered a new Philips 3200 to replace this one (Philips Xsmall 2000 Vapore - HD8651) getting capricious with time.
Thank you for making this video! I tried descaling multiple times and was ready to buy a new machine. Good thing I came across this video! My filter was literally black with coffee that required Bar Keeps Friends to clean off. Thanks again!
Thanks for the video. Any idea how to remove the boiler coupling once the 2 screws are removed (the part with 2 red o-rings behind the brewer block you just removed in this video) ?
Can't remember, however I took 2 of these completely apart :) I think, it just came off easily, after the screws were removed. But can't remember, how I did exactly.
I have the exact model and this did not help at all. I have absolutely no flow, all of the liquid is going to either the grounds box or the main drip pan. I have completely cleaned and descaled it and do that regularly. Wondering if it could be the spout? Frustrated...but happy you could help so many!
Hello, thanks for the video. My machine is 6 months old with warranty still. In my case, it starts with normal flow and towards to end it starts dripping until it ends. Any suggestions? I made tablet cleaning already.
Kérdeznék még. Most olyan gondom van, hogy a gép lefúzi a kávét, kissé kevesebb vízzel, és amikor vége a főzésnek mindíg hangos gőzkiáramlás van. A főzőegység becsatlakozónál a gépben (BLK PIN FOR BOILER VALV), de csak akkor amikor a főzőegység a főzés végén alaphelyzetbe áll. Az O gyűrűk itt renben vannak. Ha kiveszem a főzőegységet akkor is jön ki egy kis gőz. MIntha nem zárna rendesen egy szelep bent a gépben. Van valami ötleted?
I am wondering, if i want to increase the extraction time, can i take another spring, a bit harder , or longer? so that the water flow is slowed down a bit?
After reading the comments, i decided to give it a try because my machine was always leaking, but while removing the parts, i was super careful about the little ball-glass, however in my machine I don’t have it. It may be because of the previous owner, I don’t really know. The question is: what is the function of that ball?
@@OCDaddyZsoltoh that makes a lot of sense, it is not a vital piece to make a good coffee. I got this machine for free, knowing it has leaking issues, and now looking for ways to get it working
very good video, did all the steps and checked if the filtered was properly clean. But unfortunately didn't fix my problem of slow water flow, any ideas?
I suppose you did a calc clean also. Maybe could try a calc clean with a stronger solution of lemon acid or white vinegre. There might be some limescale build-up here or there.
I have an issue... the water and the coffee come out only from one of the 2 'holes'... I have tried to open the machine to clean it, but the small box with the 2 'holes' cannot be open. I have tried to clean it inside with small brush, but nothing changed. How can I do? It's happening after 10 days I did not use the machine. Anyway I tried your system too.
My mum's similar machine had this issue. Disassembled it to all the way I could and let it sit in some diluted lemon acid. Then re-assembled, ran a descaling cycle (also with some diluted lemon acid - or can do with a bit of white vinegar) and it works ever since. Could try a descaling cycle first, before you disassemble again.
Unfortunately I did exactly as you showed but still no coffee :( only a puff of steam releases from the brew side. Ive cleaned all parts and filters but no luck.
Does the big black mechanism( the one with push written on it) have any electronics in it? i got a coffee maker from someone an the mechanism is filled with coffee. i'm asking because i want to give it a proper shower :)
Hi there, I have a Saeco Intuita, very similar machine. I've followed your guide and I still cant get the coffee to pour any quicker. Do you have any other tips?
@@OCDaddyZsolt it was my brother's machine before, he bought a new one and gave me his. He has a Reverse osmosis system, so 0% limescale in the machine - in turn the calc button was highlighted for over a year and there wasn't a need for it. Since I've taken it, I use a gravity water filter which doesn't remove limescale as much - perhaps that's the issue? I clean it every week or so with some warm water
@@chriscestero Try to flush it through yet with the calc clean. Maybe something got stuck somewhere. Worst case, would need to take apart and clean the parts.
One more thing that came to my mind: My mum has the same model that I do. For her, the issue was the other day that the two outlets, where the coffee comes out at the very end, were slightly blocked. Had to take the whole machine apart, so I could rinse and clean from the inside. Another idea can be worn rubber o-rings, maybe there is a leak and it is loosing pressure. And one more: When you remove the grinder unit, on the top, there is a small tube sticking out the machine. Sometimes that one gets blocked.
I was in shock when I saw how it was running like new!!!!! I almost bought a new machine. You’ve saved me so much money. Thank you!!!!
Cool 😎 Happy it worked for you also 👍

Days after the cleanup, sometimes I could hear pressure buildup in the brew unit, no coffee nor water coming out and a steam sound coming from the brew unit after.

It may be because of the previous owner, I don’t really know. The question is: what is the function of that ball?
I suppose, the spring pushes the glass ball, so it can close/cover the valve/orifice/pipe, thus it shouldn't leak, when not under pressure.

I suppose you did a calc clean also. Maybe could try a calc clean with a stronger solution of lemon acid or white vinegre. There might be some limescale build-up here or there.
@@OCDaddyZsolt yea that was actually my next step, thank you 😊
So the solution was, cleaning the machine + calc/clean 2 times :)
Thank you for this!
👍
I have an issue... the water and the coffee come out only from one of the 2 'holes'... I have tried to open the machine to clean it, but the small box with the 2 'holes' cannot be open. I have tried to clean it inside with small brush, but nothing changed. How can I do? It's happening after 10 days I did not use the machine. Anyway I tried your system too.
My mum's similar machine had this issue. Disassembled it to all the way I could and let it sit in some diluted lemon acid. Then re-assembled, ran a descaling cycle (also with some diluted lemon acid - or can do with a bit of white vinegar) and it works ever since. Could try a descaling cycle first, before you disassemble again.
Thank you so much. You saved my money and time 👍👍👍👍
Happy to hear ;)

Unfortunately I did exactly as you showed but still no coffee :( only a puff of steam releases from the brew side. Ive cleaned all parts and filters but no luck.
😟 Sorry to hear that. I suppose, you tried running the calc clean cycle already.
@@OCDaddyZsolt yes I did

Thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Welcome! 👍
Does the big black mechanism( the one with push written on it) have any electronics in it? i got a coffee maker from someone an the mechanism is filled with coffee. i'm asking because i want to give it a proper shower :)
No, zero electronics in it. It is actually even advised to clean that part once every two weeks, but at least once a month.
@@OCDaddyZsolt Yea, i just put it under a nice warm shower. Gotta go tomorrow and get some coffee beans and test if it works properly :)
👍
THANK YOU :)

Thank You!!!!!

Merci merci merci ça marche !!! 👍🏼
Heureux ;)
Hi there, I have a Saeco Intuita, very similar machine. I've followed your guide and I still cant get the coffee to pour any quicker. Do you have any other tips?
There might be a blockage somewhere else then. Do you do regular calc clean and do you clean the grinder unit regularly?
@@OCDaddyZsolt it was my brother's machine before, he bought a new one and gave me his. He has a Reverse osmosis system, so 0% limescale in the machine - in turn the calc button was highlighted for over a year and there wasn't a need for it. Since I've taken it, I use a gravity water filter which doesn't remove limescale as much - perhaps that's the issue? I clean it every week or so with some warm water
@@chriscestero Try to flush it through yet with the calc clean. Maybe something got stuck somewhere. Worst case, would need to take apart and clean the parts.
@@OCDaddyZsolt thanks for the help buddy, really appreciate it
One more thing that came to my mind: My mum has the same model that I do. For her, the issue was the other day that the two outlets, where the coffee comes out at the very end, were slightly blocked. Had to take the whole machine apart, so I could rinse and clean from the inside. Another idea can be worn rubber o-rings, maybe there is a leak and it is loosing pressure. And one more: When you remove the grinder unit, on the top, there is a small tube sticking out the machine. Sometimes that one gets blocked.
I tried this but didn’t work for me. I think I need a new pump
:( Sorry to hear that.
