    yeah, my Gaggia Coffee leaks from the filter group constantly. When I try to steam, it seems like half the steam exits through the filter group. I often make the coffee first and leave the puck to try to slow the leak. It is bothersome though.

    Saeco Vienna Plus, water comes out slow when trying to brew coffee. It has good flow out of wand and good flow through brew group in test mode. I have an idea what the issue is but am looking for any suggestions.

Hello, I have been experienceing the same problem since I bought this thing. I used to have the classic Gaggia until it died after 15 years. however, when I went to this one it just didn't function the same.I was having water leaks come from the group assy so I replaced the group valve assy which I saw a diffrence and it functioned properly for a few days, then It was acting up again. No steam to froth and water bypassing the group assy... I then removed the valve assy again and saw it was somewhat clogged of mineral deposits.I cleaned it and after a few days once again it wasn't frothing as it should. Yesterday I completely tore this thing apart but couldn't figure out how to remove the steam valve assy. Does anyone have any ideas?? I removed the 2 screws and it won't move. OH BEFORE I FORGET!!! It was working fine the other day and while I was in the middle of frothing, it suddenly went to half pressure.... ANY IDEAS?? Thank you in advance....

Froth
If you are getting steam out of the wand I suggest you practice and work ha and to learn how to froth up the milk. The machine does not froth up, it is the operator who does. You basically need to keep the wand just below the milk level and keep moving very slowly up and down always trying to stay below the milk level. If the container is wide you may need to swirl as you moving.

My Gaggia classic has suddenly stopped frothing
Hi There,

You are not getting enough steam, to produce the froth and there no blockage. I suggest you replace the thermostats. Takes 10 min max.. Gaggia thermostat set

The steam wand emits a very thin and weak stream of steam making it impossible to froth milk. Should I descale the machine? If so, can I use spirit vinegar?
Decalcification of coffee machines boilers is better to be done with special powder for decalcification in aluminum. For making the solution from the powder you must go by instructions of manufacturer of powder. Anyway you should clean the pipe too, you get glass of water and put pipe in, steam up until it boils, than you live it for 3-4 hours. Softened milk sedimentation's will come out easily if they are present.

Why won't my starbucks serina froth milk. Just stopped doing this all of a sudden. I descaled, the little hole in wand isn't blocked. The milk heats but no froth.
This problem developed on my Sirena machine about a week ago. Stopped frothing milk, but still produced lots of steam. In fact, it was splattering milk everywhere, just not producing foam. Cleaned the steam wand (including air intake) and descaled the machine (even though its only 3 months old) to no avail. Called Saeco customer support (1-800-933-7876) and the very helpful rep immediately identified the problem. Inside the Panarello steam wand is a removable plastic tube. The tip of this tube should protrude about 1/8" beyond the end of the steam wand. Mine was not. Using the eraser end of a pencil, I pushed the inner tube downward into position and, voila, I now have froth again.

Weak steam flow from milk frothing wand.
This is usually a sign it needs a de-scale. you can get a de-scale solution from most coffee machine retailers. Vinegar can be to harsh and ruin your seals. After frothing your milk make sure you let some steam through without milk to clear milk that can be sucked up wand. You can get cleaning instructions of Saeco web site. Good luck

Saeco Talea Giro no steam or water from spout
I have the same problem as well, talked to a repair shop and it's definitely a "send in" or warranty repair. I was told it's an o-ring issue. I have no water coming out of the steam wand and it goes into the dispense tray instead.

Steamed milk is not coming out
Clean the steam wand, it unscrews and needs to be cleaned, also, descale the machine once the blocked tube is cleaned. When milk dries it is like glue and clogs the steam wand. so clean it daily after use.

Also, I think you meant to say, steam for milk frothing is not coming out. If you meant steamed milk is not coming out, it's not supposed to do that. Some Saeco's can add an attachment called a milk island but not the magic comfort plus.

I think you have a chrome steam wand end.
To froth properly, there is a very small hole on the side of the chrome steam wand that injects small bubbles into the milk, the hole is located aprox 1/4" down from top of the chrome wand, if this hole blocks up you can only heat the milk, not froth. I commonly use a stripped tin tie wire or a sewing needle to clear the hole . Clean the hole,do not enlargen the hole.

Delonghi magnifica ecam20.11x Machine is 3 years old. Always worked well and cleaned regurally. We went away for 10 days and machine wasn't used. House was cold and humid maybe this caused some issues. After we came back machine did 3 coffees and then 3 lights started to flash. Instruction says to run water from steamer but that won't work neither. I run descaling programme. Water went OK from both coffee spouts and cappuccino maker. After programme finished I managed to make 1 coffee. Switched off machine. Rinse circle went out as always some water came out of spouts. Then switched on machine and 3 lights flash again. The machine was descaleled ok. Switched on off many times. Is also very clean inside. But every time I switch it on it won't perform automatic rinse circle and after 10 seconds 3 lights flash and absolutely nothing can be done. Please help
