Nespresso U - Step by step repair guide KRUPS XN250 

Not only the best video on this problem that I have found on the Internet, but Adrian also provides a DIY fix for those inclined. WELL DONE!

First class tutorial. I made my metal pin from a cut down sewing needle and my coffee machine is now working perfectly again. Thank you so much.

Thkx a lot Adrian, great repair café!! In my case the clips were not broken. Only the noozle was no more fixed. By the way, my model has a third screw located behind close to watertank which you need to unscrew to take over the cover. Torx are TORX BO TX 10 which a whole in the middle

Exactly the same problem, thank you for the perfect how-to repair instruction! Good job!

TYSM!!!! I used this video to diagnose and repair my Nespresso U (D50) made in Hungary. The biggest problem was figuring out what tool I needed to unscrew the 3 screws to open the housing. For those in the US I bought a Titan "tamper proof star key "set for $10 -a very worthwhile investment. The T-10 star shaped screwdriver with a central depression fit the tiny screws in my machine which may differ by manufacturer I did the same repair in the video using a thick piece of wire from jewelry making and gluing it as per the video. I later found the part on eBay for around 20 dollars but so far my repair has been working. I could not have done this without this video! Thank you again!

Hi. She had detached the mouthpiece. Your video helped me take it apart and lock the part in place. I save the cost of repair. Thank you very much

I got my machine off an auction site for $15 and I am determined to fix it. Matter of principle. Thank you for your excellent video. So far all going good !

Thanks for the video. When I got to the steam spout, it had failed in a different way - bottom clip had broken. But the instruction was still valid, and our machine is now working again. Luckily I got a spare from EBay for £6.

Brilliant video. Easy to follow and now I have a working machine for the cost of a £4 nozzle. Many thanks!!!

wow. Thank you for the video. I have a couple of broken nozzles. Can't find a good place to buy them again. Now that I found you video, I'm so happy I kept the old nozzles. I will fix and continue having great coffee again. Thanks Adrian!!!!

I had the same problem ... I did what you show in the video and it works perfectly ... thank you very much!!!!!

Hello, Adrian! Greetings from Buenos Aires! We found your video some months ago while we were looking for tutorials on how to solve the exact same problem. It was a bit hard for me to get the necessary screwdrivers but after some weeks, I could get them and yesterday I opened my machine and followed your steps. I have just assembled the machine again and it is working perfectly! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Perfect tutorial and especialy the repair with the metal and glue will prevent the mashine from breaking again! Great guy :-)

Hi Adrian...DAMN! You just fixed my machine! I ordered the nozzle and BAM it was fixed. You saved my life and 150 euro's for a new machine! Many, many thanks from The Netherlands!

Great guide! You just save my coffeemachine from dropping out! Thanks from Russia!

Hi Adrian, you saved my Nespresso machine with this tutorial. Thank you very much for the video!

You sir, are an absolute legend, beautiful tutorial and I was able to fix mine step by step 👍

Thank you, Adrian. You just help me fix our U Milk Nespresso and saved us a lot of money.

Thank you so so much! That was really easy to follow. I managed to use a tiny flathead screwdriver (and pliers for leverage) as I didn’t have the right torx bit.

Super video that helped me to fix my nespresso UMilk. Instead of fixing it with a small metal rod like you I just bought a new nozzle for small money.

Thank You very much for this clear tutorial. I wanted to buy another machine cause I hadn't taken a coffee since one week ago. Finally you've let me save my machine!!

Hello from Brazil! This is the best tutorial I have found! I faced same the same problem with my Nespresso machine. I glued the metal rod with super glue (CA glue) and sodium bicarbonate. It's working perfectly now. Thank you so much!

amazing - fixed my machine (twice now, obviously weak design) - thank you so much

Amazing video. Fixed it in 15min (waiting for epoxy to dry was the longest part...). Thanks Adrian!

Thanks Adrian, you seem to be a very cool professional. Very nice video. I was worried that I'll have to spend huge amount on a new Nespresso and discard my existing beautiful Krups. You saved me man. Wish you well buddy, Manu

Hi Adrian! It worked, thanks for the tip! Plus the fun to do something practical instead of buying a new one.

Great video! An easier way to remove the nozzle is to run the machine and then pull the plug when the main part has moved to the back. Plug it back in when you have reinstalled the nozzle and it will move back into place.

Really saved my life..and your explaination is very clear and my machine is working again...

I am quite sure that the small plastic piece is designed and expected to get broken by the makers on purpose. Luckily our friend Adrian suggested a clever solution. My respects!! 👏👏👏👏You have a beer on me in Barcelona, mate.

Thank you for the video, very clear. and the metal pin attached with epoxi, will be more durable than the 2 small original plastic part

Thank you very much! With your help I succeed to repair my nespresso c-50 machine which I was going to throw out into the trash bin!

Helpful! Followed the instructions and actually found out that the machine had pieces of plastic falling off as looked like melted.. probably been drinking this stuff 😢 mine is going in the bin but the video was helpful. Thanks

Thank you, fixed it for next to nothing and saved hundreds buying a new one….i owe you a beer!

Adrian, I fixed my Nespresso U with your tip. Thanks a lot!

Precisely the same problem on my 9 year old machine. Simple, cheap fix. Saves it from going to landfill 😄

Awsome tutorial Keep helping people on stuff like that

Muchas gracias Adrian, mi padre siguió tus instrucciones y arregló la cafetera u milk 👏

Thanks mate, your video helped me fix this problem in my machine. Keep up the great stuff!

Sensational work through - to echo Lynton - you sir, are an absolute legend - awesome - thank you from Dublin

Thank you. I tried to pull the side and found your video. Very handy 😊

Perfect, got the exchange part for a few Euro and with this video it was a very easy repair! ✌️

Thank you. Perfect. I could repair my coffe machine thanks to your video

Awesome! Great video. Thank you so much for your help. I have fixed my machine saving a lot of money and time

Hello, Adrian B.! Your video helped me to fix my coffee machine at first attempt! :-) Thank you from Portugal!

Thanks for the clear instructions on how to open it. Apparently it also works for magimix machines 😅 Got a different problem, but it's fixed now

Great tutorial, saved my machine; much appreciated from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦

Perfect instructions. Made me fix mine with ease..

Thanks for the tips! Your procedure is simple & clear!

3 años de este video y mi Umilk esta en las mismas condiciones, lo peor es que la pieza ya no la fabrican😢 encontrar su video me dio la esperanza de volver a ver funcionando mi cafetera, dios lo bendiga😄🙏🏾 Saludos desde Mexico

Спасибо, Адриан! Я знал, что проблему можно решить заменой "носика". А вот восстановить его работоспособность я смог посмотрев это видео.

Great tutorial on fixing the Nespresso U! Many thanks! 👍

thank you for your video. my machine is repaired and making coffee again.

Many thanks!! I was able to fix my nespresso machine and it is working perfectly now! :)

VERY nice tutorial, Adrian! I just had to do the same repair to my U. Though I generally followed your guide, a did a few things differently. Mainly, I used a stainless steel nail cut to size (20 mm). I opted to use a stainless steel rod so that I didn't need to bother with corrosion in the long run. Second, to glue the nail/rod in place, I first carved a shallow groove on the plastic of the nozzle so that the rod would be more firmly positioned for the glue job. And I used cyanoacrylate glue (superglue) to fix the rod in place. However, normally superglue would have a hard time adhering metal (specially ss) to that kind of plastic (ABS?). So, to overcome this, I first roughed up a bit the surface of the plastic and also filed the nail, leaving small notches all over it's length, to increase the surface where the glue would act. And most important of all, I sprinkled baking soda over the area after appling the superglue. The result was an acrylic-like surface over the nail and the the surface of the nozzle, keeping the nail firmly in place. The end result was prettyy strong, to the point that I think that if I tried to prye out the nail, it would rip chunks off the blak plastic with it. Moreover, not counting the very strong bond, it cures in seconds, so right after cleaning the baking soda and washing/brushing everything up I could assemble the machine back together. Cyanoacrylate glue can easily handle the temperature of a Nespresso machine, and with the baking soda mixed in it's safe to use there.

Thank you very much ! Price of the piece : 5 euros. So Thank you very much for this very useful video !

Thanks a lot. It helped me fixing my unit. Greetings from Brazil

Excellent tutorial Adrian!! Very clear thank you so much!

Amazing Adrian! Thank you very much, the video helped me solve the problem of my machine.

Thank you. You've been very helpful. Great work!

Just saved me buying a new machine. Great video mate 👌

Well done, exactely the problem I have with my machine 👍👍

Great, thanks for this quick fix! Works also on XN260.

Muito bom meu amigo,fiz na minha cafeteira e está funcionando normal,abraço

A good how-to video. But I'd rather see how the cables are detached, because I did it only once and now have no idea of how to remove it again - these sit way to firmly in its nests. BTW, a Torx is not needed here - use a flat screwdriver and put it so it grabs any two notches in the screw's head. Works perfectly for me.

Fantastic man. Thank you for this video. This was exactly what i needed.

Thank you very much! From Brazil!

Thanks from Barcelona, 🇪🇸

Awesome, saved me some money! Thanks!

Amazing. Thanks for helping me. I had this problem. 👍

Perfect! Thanks!

Thanks man, you saved me a lot of time and money

Thanks for your explanation.

Merci - Tuto simple et claire et pédagogique - je vais tenter de sauver ma machine - merci encore

Thanks you so much! Very clear and usefull!

Extra tip: these special torx screws can be easily removed by flat crewdriver of the same size :)

Thank you from Brazil, now I'm not forced to upgrade

Thank you so much, greatly appreciated the video!!!

Very good, very well explained. I'm from Brazil.

Hi friend, I’m Brazilian and I’d like to thank you for the video, I’m sure that the best explanation. My problem was solved and I’m so happy. Sorry for my poor english. Thanks for it, God bless you
