The coffee made by the espresso machine has a mellow taste and is very convenient to use. However, once a malfunction occurs, the espresso machine will not be able to achieve its due function, and failure to deal with it in time will shorten its service life. The following are seven common faults of espresso machines and the corresponding solutions.

1. The espresso machine has no steam or the coffee made is not hot

When using an espresso machine, if a large amount of hot water is released for a certain period of time, it may cause the espresso machine to have no steam or the coffee made is not hot, so under normal circumstances, we don’t recommend using built-in hot water function of espresso machines. It is also possible that the power connection of the espresso machine is not good, or the power is not turned on.

If it is caused by the release of a large amount of hot water for a period of time, you need to stop using the hot water first, and then wait 10-20 minutes before using the espresso machine again. If it is a power problem, you need to check the power of the espresso machine first, then turn on the espresso machine and check if the power indicator is on. If it is on but cannot be used, you need to contact the manufacturer for repair.

2. The espresso machine does not produce coffee, and the machine makes noise

In this case, it may be that the water inlet or outlet switch of the water filter is closed, or the internal pipe of the water filter is blocked, causing the espresso machine handle filter to not emit coffee and the machine noise will occur.

First turn on the water inlet or outlet switch, and then check the working status of the water filter. If there is a blockage, then the blocked pipe needs to be cleaned. If it is not clogged, the filter element may be broken, and the filter element can be replaced if necessary.

3. Coffee overflow from espresso machine

In the process of brewing coffee, if the glass pot is removed, it may cause the phenomenon of coffee overflow.

If the user moves the glass jug for more than 20 seconds during the brewing process, it will cause the coffee to overflow. It should also be noted that the coffee will not release its strongest aroma until the end of the coffee brewing process. Therefore, it is recommended that users do not take out the glass jug and pour out the coffee before the brewing process is over.

4. The flow rate is too slow when extracting coffee

The possible causes are residues in the filter bowl, too much coffee powder, too much filling pressure, and too finely ground coffee powder.

Find out the reason first, and then deal with it according to the situation, such as keeping the filter bowl clean, adjusting the amount of coffee powder, adjusting the filling pressure, and adjusting the grinding degree of the coffee powder.

5. The flow rate is too fast when extracting coffee

The possible reasons are that the amount of coffee powder is too small, the filling pressure is too small, and the coffee powder grinding is too coarse.

Find out the reason first, and then deal with it according to the situation, such as adjusting the amount of coffee powder, filling pressure and the grinding degree of coffee powder.

6. The boiler lacks water

The possible reasons are that the water purifier is blocked, the electric pump is not working, and the water source is closed.

Find out the cause first, and then deal with it according to the situation, such as cleaning the filter and turning on the water inlet switch.

7. The coffee grounds contain more water

The possible reasons are that the solenoid valve is not detached, the temperature of the brewing water is too low, and the coffee powder is too finely ground.

Find out the reason first, and then deal with it according to the situation, such as waiting for the espresso machine to reach the working temperature and adjusting the grinding degree of coffee powder.
