Thank you so much for covering several options. I'd exhausted methods involving straws, biro body, syringe, silicone tubing, blowing, sucking, thumping, pumping, bagging, opening, closing, and swearing. The one that worked (wait for it) was propping it up slightly and leaving it alone for a few hours. I owe you a coffee ☕😃
You beautiful man! FINALLY! I tried everything and nothing worked! I saw comments in other places saying they tried the siringe but nobody said how to use it. That method is what did it for me. I tried pumping, with and without capsule, on and off, tried the ziplock, straw, nothing! Removing the screen and using a seringe full of water to push it through worked. Note: I have one of those siringes with a silicon baubble in the tip, to do nose cleansing, worked like a charm after trying a couple times. Try pushing water or sucking it, might help
My goodness, thank you so much for this video! I didn't want to start my Monday morning without any coffee. Thankfully, I came across your video. Method 2 worked. Enjoy your coffee non-stop!
I tried all methods described. Slowly pumping an air-filled zip-lock bag up and down within the partially-water-filled reservoir while the machine was operating fixed the problem. Thank you!
That's right. It doesn't necessarily need to be a bag, as long as it creates additional pressure. Someone tried a balloon filled with air and that worked for them. You can partially fill the ziplock bag with air or water (not fully filled) and seal it, then put it inside the water tank while the machine is running and pull it up and push it down in the water tank several times while it is running. This forces the water through the machine at a higher pressure. It's like unclogging a toilet. You might have to do it more than once.
These Nespresso machines are pure GARBAGE. I have two of them that stopped working and no Mickey mousing around will make them work again. Pure GARBAGE.
