SOURCE: Espresso maker won't brew.

Most likely it is an internal problem, such as a broken valve or nozzle.

SOURCE: the water does not go through my espresso maker

Hello,

If you tried to clean it (descale) and did proper and still does not work, this is most likely a pump vapor lock kind of issue. This can be cause from a small blockage to cause the vapor lock for the pump to work to pump the water, or just a vapor lock to get that water to pump; MOST THE TIME IT IS A PRIMING ISSUE. kind of like bleeding the breaks on a car. Read below and follow steps.

You can
hold your finger over the white tube in the top of the reservoir to place more
pressure on the water to flow through the needle and expel the debris from the tubing.

Take a can of compressed air like you would use to clean your computer and blow air through the tube(s) in the reservoir and also the needle(s) to clear dirt debris and water from the machine. This process may make a mess so be sure to have the machine is a place where the mess can be cleaned up easily. Some have even used a large tire type air compressor out of desperation, and report that it does work. I would use great care with this method and shoot the air in very short bursts.

      Often the pump gets air in it and does not prime correctly. It will then only pump a little water. To fix this you may need to get rough with the machine. Slamming the reservoir onto the machine will sometimes work, The shake rattle and roll method also will have the desired affect sometimes. Some have turn the machine upside down over the sink, have slapped the sides of the machine, or even shake the machine to get the air out of the lines.
      Once you do get the pump to prime properly, you can keep the pump from getting more air by making sure to fill the reservoir before it gets empty by using a pitcher to fill the tank instead of removing it and filling it.


      With some Krups, the bottom needle does not pierce the bottom of the cup if you simply place the Krups into the holder and then close the top. Extra effort may be needed to make sure that the K-cup gets seated properly so that the water can flow through the Krups easily. If you have water still in the K-cup when you remove it after brewing, you are having this problem.Bottom Line I believe most your problem is going to making sure tubes are clean and priming it, even have have to get a little rough and shake machine to get the pump working as air lock gets out. Let me know if this worked for you. Takes some patience, but should get to working with some time Thank you, Mike from fixya

SOURCE: Recently my Krups 4050 espresso machine starting b...

It needs a new flow meter. I replaced the one in mine and now it works fine. I took the old one apart and the little magnet inside is a ferrite magnet which rusts over time when it comes in contact with water ( duh). If the new one does this I am going to just replace the little magnet with a rare-earth magnet which will cost about $1 or less and shouldn't rust out. I am wondering if the company changed the magnet in the new flow meter so this doesn't happen or if planned obsellesants, just last long enough to get it out of warranty, is the company's motto. The new flow meter was around $30 when the added the $9 for shipping.

Bialetti mini espresso coming out very slowly

Hi there... have had this problem. sounds like you have minerals deposit problem. Put vinegar in water tank, then start machine to let all vinegar come out , it should clean it well. then do over again with water so next coffee doesn't taste like vinegar .If by the time the vinegar pasted through and water doesn't come out faster , it must be another problem. Hope this helps.

Slow dripping and ground cup is extremely hot

Have you tried cleaning your coffee maker? If not just fill half of the carafe with white vinegar and let it brew. Keep basket in during cleaning but no filter needed. After running the vinegar through the brew cycle, fill the carafe with plain water and run fresh water through about 3 to 4 times. I do this every 4 to 6 months. I have a light on my coffee maker that lets me know when I need to clean it. I hope this helps.

Dripping slowly

Try taking and running some vinegar and water through it a couple of times, it could just be a build up deposit from the water run through it every day. if that doesnt work try taking a piece of wire or heavy pipe cleaner and clean the steaming tube.

WATER WON'T COME THRU TO THE CUP

It could be your needle (the one on the top of the machine). Try using a pin to clean out the top needle.

Very little water is dripping into the carafe

Try to run vinegar undiluted through the coffee maker first. If this does not help, you may have a plugged valve in the coffee maker or a tube/hole where the coffee maker water should drip through. if this coffee maker has a dispenser(where you put your cup against it and the coffee comes out) then there is likely a plugged up valve. This will require dismantling the coffee maker to clean it. Usually coffee makers get plugged up because coffee leaves a residue that requires scrubbing at time to remove.
