turn on your krups espreeso to warmup the water, put one spoon of coffee in the handle, lock the handle and turn on the pressure button, and the coffee leaks in your cup, that's all

I had this problem too and finally found a fix for it.

I don't know if the cause of this issue is the same for everyone experiencing the problem, but the issue for me was hard water. The fix is to run vinegar mixed with water through the machine quite a few times, until it starts to run normally.

If you do have hard water issues, it's recommended that you run vinegar or citric acid through the machine about once a month, to keep deposits from building up.

The Krups heats the water through a horseshoe shaped aluminum tube which the heating element is wrapped around the tube in the same fashion, the tube is corroded or cracked most likely, if you poured cold water into the machine when it was hot, this will crack the tube, they are made by Cesod ? which is stamped on the element with a number on it,  and I have seen between 700 and 1100 watt elements. I have the same problem with my 7 year old krups coffee maker, Im trying to repair the tube with aluminum welding or find a new element.  It could also be the high temp tubing may be cracked.  You need tamper proof Torx bits to remove the bottom cover on some models.

Hi. Was searching around and you can actually go to the krups website(www.krupsusa.com) and download the appropriate manual for your coffemaker. Its best to know the model number as well as the model name. On the Bistro, the coffee maker side should be on the left and the expresso side on the right. on top of the coffee maker on the right side is a screw on top(black in color depending on year of model). Simply unscrew and fill with water to recommended lvl. I would download the instructions first and become familiar with the process as it heats up the water to extremely high pressure and heat. Good luck..J

The krups website does have a listing for where to send in for service in China,. That website is www.krupsusa.com

check inside for broken or burnt connectors going to the heater element. these are normally slide in spade connectors.
