Sometimes Nespresso coffee machines will not fill with water after months of not using them. It is a very common issue with this type of coffee machine, as the interior tubing dries out and the machine itself cannot refill itself with water. We will explore a homemade method to ensure the machine feeds correctly from the water reservoir
-
1. Remove the water reservoir
-
-
-
-
Support the sponge/foam using the syringe, completely covering the hole
-
In the included images we can see that the syringe is slightly leaning towards a side. I have chosen to make the hole be tilted inside of the sponge since this will make it work with the highest number of coffee machines, since many of them protrude from the rear and the syringe could be obstructed by the machine.
-
This way is the most versatile way of doing it that maximizes compatibility between different models.
-
-
-
1. Having positioned the syringe, press down so that the water does not escape through the side.
-
2. Press the button. In this case, the large cup one, for example.
-
3. Press the piston down completely while the water pump is running.
-
4. When the syringe is completely depleted, press the button again to stop the pump.
-
5. Remove the syringe.
-
-
-
With the water reservoir correctly placed, lift the capsule lever completely.
-
Press the large coffee button.
-
When water starts to flow from the reservoir, close the lever to ensure that water begins to flow.
-
Our problem is hereby solved.
-
If this method doesn't work, we can try it again. If it doesn't work after several attempts, then we must take it apart to manually clear the water piping.
-
This link will elaborate on this second option.
