Breville Cafe Roma No Pressure | Breville Cafe Roma Not Working | Breville Cafe Roma Blocked 

Thank you! My problem was exactly the same - but I simply had to prime the pump. I took it all apart - like you … but I didn’t need to. Instead I opened the bottom … disconnected the water feed from the bottom valve, and forced water (while it was on) into the intake tube (just used my mouth). It took alot of pressure and then all of a sudden the water came running out. It was a bit dangerous, there is exposed electric when you open the bottom AND I had it on its side so the water could have sprayed the electric. That’s all. I think I caused the problem - the machine was dry - not used in 5 months.

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial! This looks to be my issue and I'm very excited to have such a simple solution.

You’re the best dude! An absolute legend! You saved my Breville. I thought it was done for. And if this happened to me 3 weeks ago before you posted this I would’ve been shit outta luck. Thank you.

Oh my! You are a blessing! I can’t wait to try doing this! Thank you!!

Amazing! This was the video I was looking for the context fits perfectly and i was getting exactly the same symptoms. In my case i recently started leaving the heater on 24/7 using the cup holder waarming area as a surface on which to try and germinate cactus and avocado seeds wrapped in moist paper towel in a Tupper wear container thinking it would be a great way to keep the germinating container ~30-40 Celsius @ near 100% humidity. Going to attempt this repair tomorrow. thank you! I'm on a budget and literally had a cheapo but still overpriced replacement espresso machine in a shopping cart in another tab and i was vacillating mostly because of the allegations that marketplace's laborforce leverages forced labor from yeghuar "re-education" camps. glad dicided to dig on troubleshooting before tossing it. as my little cafe roma has been the real MVP of my daily cafeine productivity since 2018

Edit: It did solve my problem but a new one appeared. Some water is leaking inside the machine so I need find the reason. I like when appliances are simple and easy to repair. Buying the new hightech stuff is asking for problems imo. Your explanations were clear and precise and I can see that you knew your subject since you shot everything in one shot. No editing, no advertising just the informations I was looking for. I'll check if that the issue our machine have. Thanks for your tutorial, you did something really useful!

THANKS i I had the same problem. The video was very helpful.

Thank you! I just started having this issue with my machine- I haven't opened it up yet to take a look, but it seems simple enough. I hope this is my solution!

Thanks for the video! Gave me the nudge I needed to open it up and check before going to get a new one.

Thanks for your well explained video. Have a great day.

Awesome solution!

I spoke too soon. It only temporarily resolved my pressure loss problem. Still though. Your video is appreciated.

Great Video Thanks for sharing I have a bit of a different problem I seem to be losing pressure on the frothing but I'm going to start here Thanks again

OK ... I just checked and tried the OP solution, everything was in great condition. Then I checked the hose at the base of the machine and there were water bubbles. Blew the water out of the hose. Put it all back together and still no water. Note: machine hasn't been used in a few years, but seals and hoses are still soft and pliable. Thoughts?

How does one replace that gasket? Mine has the newer design with no zip ties to melt.

Thanks!

Hope it works, only got a sip of coffee this morning. It did this once before but then worked again for another year without doing it. I'm on second day no coffee so tonight it gets opened up.

I’ve done both things and mine is still not working

So the basket (large as I like string coffee) I’ve always used stopped working. I cleaned the machine and the basket still no luck then decided to use a smaller basket and it works but unfortunately my coffee is not strong enough as the basket doesn’t hold enough coffee. This morning i tried large one still no luck (pressure build up but still not working). I’m now thinking it’s the rubber gasket that I may have replace even though it work with the smaller one. Can anyone tell where and what size to buy for this same machine in the video. Thank you

I'm not sure if my machine had the same problems with pressure, but my espresso came out with no crema for sure, and the steam wand dripped slowly without steam. (However, there's a bunch of steam that ran out after I turned it back to stand by) How do you know if it's a pressure problem? And do you think the situation above is the same as yours?

Hi My Cafe Roma makes a pop sound and the water/coffee pours out around the pod. I took the top off and the area you talked about looks fine. Any other suggestions?

Doesn't that mean there is liquid in the bottom that escaped that? I just had my first problem right now, and there was like an oscillation and loss of pressure.

The seals on mine are all fine, but in the line between the pump and the heater there is a junction that leads down to a square white box. Water makes it up to this junction, but not past the junction into the heater. Instead water comes out the bottom of the white box into the drip tray at the bottom. Any idea how to fix this?

Mine just makes noises , it doesn’t put out water

Might I ask a question? How did you get the screw out that you mentioned at 1:10? I've spent the past half hour fighting that thing and there's no way. Does it have Loctite on it? I've tried WD-40, I've tried IPA, I've tried oil, I've tried giving it a hard stare...nothing is working.

Thanks!
