Coffee Damaged Nespresso Expert Coffee Machine - Can I FIX it? 

A man after my own heart! Great job Vince, two sugars no milk please 😊

With all these coffee machines your entire family has to be hyped up, lol. Thanks for the video Vince. Always apprecaiated

It might be worth using some dielectric grease on connections like that and in all future appliances that you work on to help mitigate water ingress and corrosion. I mean corrosion is bound to happen on these appliances either because of poor design or user error. Top job, Vince.

At 19 mins and 29 sec there looks to be water below the temp knob you mite have a water leak inside. keep up the great work you do fixing things.

Thanks Vince. Great fix (as usual). This would rather be a coffee break fix than a tea break fix. Keep up the good work 😊. You are the best!

Great fix glad it works again Shame the coffee pods are so expensive 😢

My father had an old 1940s Standard car, it had a similar sliding mechanism using 4 sprung hook style bent sprung rods that opened and closed the door windows. The only difference was 2 springs that stopped the mechanism slamming open or closed. It was a simple mechanism that worked well,,, You lifted the window about 3" and it would click and slide all the way up, again pull down about the same distance, click and down the window would go, the added springs made it move smoothly.

Never wanted one of these machines, but I'm glad you fixed it. I think you can now get after market pods that you can refill yourself, so less pollution..

Top job again Vince, well done. If you're anything like me in the mornings, you'll have both of your machines running at the same time for a 'double shot - caffeine injection' just to get you moving a little faster 😵‍💫

fabulous video vince as always :)

For recycling the Nespresso pods, you can get a Duait press called the EcoPress that ejects the grounds out the pod (and turns it inside-out) so it can just go in the usual aluminium recycling - they are only a tenner too :)

brilliant sponsor segue, great vid 😎

Nice fix! The milk frother works best when you pour out the milk as soon as it is done. If you let it sit, it will make it harder to pour

Nice repair!

Great fix that dome disc you cleaned for the switch are normally silver or silver plated and tarnish easily Nicely done Vince thanks 😊

Great fix

Great Video Vince Keep It Up!

It's a great machine. The only issue I had after many years was related to the optical sensor that reads the tray (if it is closed or not)... A simple clean did it.

re: recycling - they do recycle the pods themselves, you can ask for a bag and they'll send one to you, you fill it up with capsules and send it back, or take it to the local shop. They turn the aluminum into neat things, and use the coffee grounds to grow rice and they donate the rice to world food bank.

Great little fix Vince :) Nice Job. Well done.

well done.i've repaired a few

Good work fixing the coffee maker Vince mate. I am fixing seven new 18650s into our stick vac. Had to buy a more powerful spot welder because my other little spot welder wouldn’t spot weld the thicker terminals and 18650 battery end caps. Little welder works on AA Eneloops but not on the 18650s.

As always you videos are very interesting. Nice fix! About the coffee.. threw that capsules and stay with the beans.. those capsules are filled with nitrogen when sealed up at the factory. The coffee taste will never be fresh like ground beans machine.

Good fix! Re the frother press the button and it will turn off automatically when ready and hot, if you hold the button down it will show blue and froth cold with no heat.

Nice repair

Albright! A nice fix!

Nice fix. I love my Jura bean to cup.. couldn't go back to capsules..

Lucky a bit as I expected to have it a water leak somewhere. As manuals are overrated: yes there is always a certain „descale button procedure“, the milk frother should stop independently when done foaming up (if not interrupted untimely 😅) and the simpler Nespresso machines do not have a cleaning cycle (by design).. Cheers mate, you are an inspiration!

grrr another video that didn't show up on my front page. Either way im here now. thanks Vince.

I have the Delonghi prima donna which uses coffee beans and it's fully automatic another words it will grind your beans make you a coffee and then fluffy milk all-in-one go however they are pricing machines. And oh yes coffee beans are extremely good for the garden especially if you have rhododendrons and also snails and slugs hate coffee beans so put them around your veggies to stop the slugs and snails getting to your vegetables.

nice one vince

well done 😀

Nice fix as always, I have one put aside that needs looking at, think the issue I have with the one here is more mechanical that it is squashing pods so should be interesting to take a look at.

With all of these coffee machines you've fixed, when's the My Mate Vince Cafe going to open?

I wonder if because it was your first brew with the machine after being broken, then repaired, then descaled, it possibly still had some old residue from past uses, even though you cleaned it, also some of the descaling stuff could have still been knocking around, just a thought and as usual another very interesting fix

I would love to see a video, or an explanation on how you find these type of cheap "for repair" items. Do you keep notifications on for certain categories? Love the videos!

Really intresting

PCBWay do Titanium? Hold my beer while I make a Titanic submersible.

The milk frother will stop by itself when it is ready. The coffee machine takes time to heat up the water before it will make a coffee. But besides all this, this machine is great, but it has some design issues which cause leaking coffee in the capsule dispenser. Some parts will need replacement in the end. I know this, because I own one myself.

As a recent convert to Nespresso, purely for the convenience, it's interesting to see an upmarket machine. I have a very basic one but the principle is the same. Where I live in Australia the local chemist shop collects the capsules for recycling, not sure about the UK.

I would have potentially investigated where the coffee came from just in case it was a leaking pump or pipe.

coffee grinds are high in potassium ,tomato plants love them :)

May be mentioned here already, but it’s really dangerous to use a rolled up extension lead on high amp devices. Can cause fires, just an FYI.

My mic didn’t record a whole episode! What a nightmare that was! Good catch!

You can buy ones you can fill up with grounds, most shops sell the bags, reckon it'll be cheaper in the long run

yeah, a bean machine would be preferable I think, feels less yuppy also lol. Good fix as usual

Love my Tassimo tbh

Nice 👍

When it comes to cleaning corroded connectors like that, I just remove the connector. It's really easy to unpin them and slide the housing off.

ngl that was a smooth ad transition

These are wifi enabled too so you can control it via an app. I have bought 3 or 4 of these to fix as and re sell as they have a common fault with the brew chamber that is easily fixed.

Be careful plugging stuff into long unreeled extention leads, mate. I know a girl that managed to totally melt one at work, when she plugged in a 2KW light! 😂 Also, I think you now officially own more coffee machines than Starbucks and Costa put together! 😛

If you press and hold the button on the frother, it will froth the milk and not heat it so you can make cold coffees.

Gr8 vid! I got the milk and expert for 5 years myself. It always had some problems but i was able to fix it after all. Machine worked perfectly until today. I put it in descaling mode and the machine produces (cold) water for 5 sec and keeps the pump going for about another 20 sec. No water being consumed. I can't get it out of descaling mode, factory reset doesn't work (can't complete it in descaling mode). If i replug the machine it remains in descaling mode. I've read something about replacing the motherboard. I can't imagine that the boiler/compressor is broken, because before descaling this worked fine! Can i use your wishdom, what would you suggest?❤ Need to get it fixed asap otherwise my pregnant wife will kill me haha.😂 For now i will try to keep it unplugged for at least 24 hours, hoping for a memory reset or smh. And then try again.

Vince, I eas surprised to see you intrigued by the Nespresso frother? Didn't I originally find your channel when you repaired a blown thermal fuse on one of these similar Nespresso units? Or did I just invent that memory?

great fix but what watch are you wearing?

it probably got wet in the top because someone turned it upside while working on it without carrying out the empty system mode. btw the frother will turn itself off when its finished doing its job. press n hold the frother button it just froths without heating.

Sad that for a couple of pennies more, they could have used a waterproof microswitch.

Great video Vince, a pleasure to watch your videos... the sponsor segway was nice XD

That liquid was likely on the bottom possibly from a spill, these krups machines let liquid in fairly easily from coffee spills and when someone else tried opening it and put it on its side or upside down it likely trickled to the side panel. Either way, maybe we'll never know. :D

Love that they try and make these things look nice and fancy but in the end it’s flimsy old plastic rubbish haha

could be that someone stick that machine in the dishwasher 🤣🤣

Does this count as a Coffee Break Fix?

The owner probably made a coffee and put in on top of the machine and then knocked over -WDYT?

It doesn’t need to do a clean because the pod acts as the nozzle essentially.

Just one question, do you always brew coffee on the kitchen floor ?

i never understand why they never include an actual waste water tub for descaling, that properly fits over the drip tray part, and under the spout, or a way to remove the drip tray so you can hav it flat on the worksurface instead...

No wonder you are up that late! So much coffee🦉🦉🦉

Pods from Aldi £1.80 😉

09:09 whuaaaa, a face! 😅🫶🏼

I got this coffee machine second hand and they used it all the time but now I’ve got it, it’s not turning on. I try the button, the temp and the pod opening but nothing is working. Please help 😢

my nespresso milk frother does hot and cold on mine you just hold the button few seconds but mine is not attached to the coffee machine 😆

You should do more PS3 videos. :)

Get yourself on car boots get loads of bargains on there for great content

I had 2 of these, the first one I returned as it leaked the coffee, the 2nd one done exactly the same thing, I sold it on a car boot for £20, pile of junk

I think that I should be listed as the old coffee curmudgeon from the comment section. I'm content with that moniker. I don't fault people for enjoying these machines. I'm kind of a sucker for mechanical contrivances, but when it comes to coffee, it's simple. Dirty water made by fresh roasted, shaved pellets that smells divine.

SLLUUUUUUUUURP !!

Mentioning depositing bowels, whilst presenting thick brown liquid, spoiled my enjoyment on this occasion. Try good quality adjustable ultrasonic deterrents, they do work.

Work now... forget about it needing to get up to the right temp.

Its not water damaged it is Coffee damaged 😎

The it heats the milk and it also stops by itself

Why wont product designer just add a simple descaling button? I always have to keep the manual around my machine to remember all the cryptic steps.

Two main issues I have with these. They taste foul compared to grinding your own and also, for what they are, expensive (the pods). I sometimes add a pinch of salt to my fresh ground coffee which actually helps to bring the flavour out more. These are more a gimmick imho.

I would never use a used coffee maker or anything that involves food because you have no idea what the previous person made in them. They could have brewed dirty water, chicken broth, cat turds, who knows what went through that thing before you got it. I'd rather take my chances with a new food appliance.

These fancy machines really lose their grace when you open them. Such a cheap construction.

GRAVITY? Turning maker Upside Down, what Water that remained, drops to Top. ... then there's Condensation.

Coffee. Damaged. Nespresso. Expert. Coffee. Machine ??

What a big deal for a simple cuppa.

audio really isn't that bad.

An expensive way to make coffee (especially when you drink as much as me!) btw, the idea of using coffee grounds on your garden is a myth, the caffeine acually acts as a herbicide!

It looks like instant coffee and Nescafé claims it is not. I would not try it.

Once you here it you can't un hear it

Hi Vince Please excuse my user name its my name in reverse the kids did it anyway could the gears that drive the the brush be jaming causing the motor to stop and trip

First

These overly-complicated, over-engineered "coffee" machines that profess to make having a coffee "quick and easy" are atrocities. Between the tiny cups of pre-ground, pre-mutilated coffee bean material that cannot be recycled to the dirty water reservoirs to the electronic bits that fail. It's like buying a $500 machine to squeeze juice out of a packet of - juice. All the waste from my coffee making procedure which begins with dated, whole beans ends up in the garden. Biodegradable and the plants like it.

Well, I think the base design is flawed, a machine mixing heat, water and electronic boards will unavoidably fail... A suggestion - you could have covered those connectors with hot glue (assuming that in the positions they are the glue will not melt), so that you would protect the contacts somewhat from corrosion and that would be easily reversible.

It’s an another Italian Machine, vince you should learn Italian

Vince, L'OR coffee is s**t. Trying some italian coffee like Kimbo, Lavazza or Lollo. I tried all of these including L'OR. L'OR is dirty water compare to these three.

This is a Public Service Announcement for why it's bad to use your coffee maker as a coffee table.
