I found a solution for my nanopresso that I didn't see anywhere. I am posting this to multiple videos with this issue. Someone suggested the problem would be lime scale (thanks for that hint!) and running a lot of hot water through it as a solution. Well, I don't know how that is suppossed to help, but what definitely worked for me was pumping a few batches of hot water with VINEGAR / CITRIC ACID. I always let it "rest" for a few minutes between the batches so the acid could do its magic (react with the scale). It was better and better with every batch until it went smooth as new.
Yes I have had a similar problem in areas with very hard water. My advice is to pull it completely apart and soak in vinegar overnight to disolve the calcium. Then use purified water for your coffee from there on out.
@@danielchavez6647 sorry for a late reply. Yeah, for real, it doesn't do any harm. It doesn't do anything with the plastic and for the metal parts these acids are too week to do any damage in such a short time - this is how I descale my kettles etc. Citric acid has a benefit over vinegar of having almost no smell (and thus leaving none). But even the vinegar smell should disappear when washed properly.
Hi Mark, It's more than likely caused by small limescale particles getting trapped inside the pump. If you periodically run it under a cold tap (where the orange cross is) and just pump fresh clean water through it that should resolve the problem. It should take no more than 6-7 pumps to clear all the water from the recess (where the orange cross pin it) once it starts taking 20+ pumps, there is a blockage inside. - Hope that helps.
Sounds great ! I own 4 of these and am addicted to making espresso with them. I often have problems after I tightly pack finely ground coffee in a 16 gram (double-shot) brewing cup.. You know - using your technique certainly does the trick. Thanks for sharing this. I love these gadgets !
@@dusant8697 Mark Bergendahl 1 second ago 1. Pop out the pressure unit and remove the orange gasket (ring). 2. Clean out the coffee grinds that may have accumulated under this gasket. Then put it back on and ensure that it seats properly all the way around. You may even want to disassemble the pressure unit to clear it of debris. 3. Add an empty brew basket and screw the top on it tightly. 4. Cycle a cup full of boiling hot water through the nanopresso. This usually corrects the problem. Reason: A dirty accumulation around the orange gasket ring (not to be confused with the orange disk that seats in the pump unit), will distort the seal around the brew basket and cause pressurized water to leak out around the screw-in top. This also disrupts the even flow of espresso liquid into the pressure unit and the nanopresso will overpressurize. NEVER LOAD A BREW BASKET ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP. LOAD TO WITHIN 1/8 OF AN INCH TO THE TOP. Also - the tamping tool (in the barista kit) is used to assure a "flat" and even surface for the grinds when they meet the (shiny) metallic facing of the pressure unit. Don't tamp the grinds down hard and don't use extra-fine grind. Doing these things will only cause an over-pressure condition. Also - will not make the espresso taste any better - better to use less grinds. I have used the same nanopresso daily for a year and a half and it is still going strong. When you sense that the pump is working to stiffly, take the unit over the sink and unscrew the top - being sure not to burn your hands (run cold water over it while you are doing this). Clean out the unit and start over again. Note: The same thing happens to automatic espresso machines (example - the Delongi machines - which I have) when you pack grinds too tightly; don't properly clean out old grinds or fill the brew basket too full. Happy Brewing ! Mark
Malik I have 3 Tnanopreso units; one minipresso and another brand with less frills. Each has a distinct personality. The unit works best after it has been fully heated. Once heated (brewing a shot or by pumping in water with no grounds), the cap screws in tighter and the pump works better. I use the barista bundle and make a double-shot. This requires screwing in the barista adaptor. If the unit begins to leak while pumping, just screw the cap and adaptor in tighter. The next shot won't leak. When I make a latte for my wife, I immerse the cup in a pot of boiling water to keep everything hot - and that is the secret - keeping the espresso hot after pouring - so don't pump a shot into a cup that has not been pre-heated with boiling water. When I am done making shots, I usually pump in 2 - 4 ounces of boiling water using an empty brew basket. This cleans out the unit of un-pumped residue. Compare reviews on expensive espresso makers costing up to 2000 dollars and there are often complaints that the units leak excess water; pumps fail after several months; Unit doesn't allow brewing into larger cups (for lattes); Espresso not hot enough; Won't adjust flow adequately to make a ristretto (restricted flow). Too bad ! You can't adjust or fix these units. But with the Nanopresso, you can usually prime the pump with heated water (see the video above) - or correct just about anything by using less water - preheated cups, etc. I AM STILL USING THE UNIT IN THE VIDEO AND I'M UP TO 350 SHOTS SO FAR.
One thing I noticed in your video is that you are pumping about twice as fast as the manufacturer recommends. One pump per second is the proper method. The reason your unit overpressurizes when using finer grounds is likely because of your pumping speed. Hope this helps you produce a better espresso, as a finer grind is ideal for extraction. Glad you are enjoying it so much!
What I do is, after every press, I empty the grind from the holder and put it back in and just press hot water through so it kinda cleans up the filter or whatever.
don’t use espresso grind. if u do, do not tamp the coffee! for this failure, one of the silicone part has deformed. if you are daring enough to open up, there is a L shape orange part with two tiny spikes. likely this part is damaged due to heat and also the wrong use of grind size.
Thanks ! (Sorry I'm replying so late). Overloading and overtamping the grind causes parts to stick in the wide orange gasket in the pressurization unit - the immediate symptom is leakage around exterior nanopresso band and difficulty pumping it. The work-around is to open the nanopresso, clean it all out, remove and reset the wide orange gasket on the pressurization unit and refill with new grinds. The smallest grinds I use are the semi-fine grind produced by the Mr. Coffee grinder (on fine setting). This is actually a medium fine grind. I do not use coffee ground in my Turkish hand-grinder, because that will produce an over-pressure problem
In the manual it says after 6 months, you take apart the the filter traps by removing three screws. Then clean the traps with brush included in my opinion under running water. See if that is the case.
i dont own one of these but just at a glance you have some grind on the edge of the basket when you put it back on its going to not seal properly. When you put it in id wipe my finger around it make sure it can make a good seal
Yes it's good to keep it clean. However the problem starts at the other end where the reservoir connects to the bottom of the pump. Fortunately by moving the orange plug up and down and pumping the unit, I can get this working again.
Ciao Mark, on amazon you can buy tablets for to clean coffee oils and dirty inside the machine. Simply put a tablet in hot water and pump some shots. Wait some minutes and do the same, and other shots. After pump hot water for to clean the inside of machine. The tablets works on every coffee machine.
Just clean all parts in warm water - particularly the orange gasket that surrounds the pressurization unit - where a pasty grounds residue sometimes builds up.
Remember to check the orange gasket that fits around the pressurized filter component. This gasket can become clogged with grinds and deform, resulting in either over-pressurization (hard to pump) or a lack of pressure during pumping.
I use two nanopresso units -one at home and one at my health club. Both units will fail, but I prime the pumping unit by removing the water reservoir and turning the unit upside down. I add 1/4 inch ih hot water, depress the tiny orange plug and pump slowly until I begin to feel a little pressure building up. I then screw in the water reservoir filled with boiling water and resume brewing espresso. I also use a medium grind in the nanopresso - the fine espresso grind causes the unit to over pressurize and leak. thanks
what is the main problem that fails? i bought one, but i am worried some gasket or valve will fail with time. i havent seen them sell any spare parts either so its worrying.
@@Francois_Dupont When cleaning the unit after use, check the wide thin orange gasket that fits around the removable pressurization valve, clean off any grounds that may have slipped in and could interfere with the seal. Rinse the gasket and put it back around the pressurizatuon unit. You can't break it - so don't worry. If the nanopresso gets real hard to pump, then some groups have cased the gasket to deform. Just unscrew the unit and clean it out and start over. Just use a normal coffee grind and don't tamp the grinds in real hard - because this is not a commercial grade high pressure pump
@@markbergendahl2651 Thank you about the tips and tricks. i was planning on using Lavazza Rossa pre-ground coffee that i normally use for my moka pot. i heard both the moka pot and nanopresso use coarser coffee then the normal espresso fine powder. i wish you a merry christmass in advance!
Jesus, my nanopresso was driving me mad, untill i read about this orange valve thing. Thanks so much! Magic happens only when i unscrew the water chamber and add some water directly into the nanopresso and then press the valve down, only then the pressure starts building up. After that i put the cup with hot water back on and able to brew my espresso. Though still dunno why it would not work on its own.
I watched this video last month because of issues with my Nanopresso. I tried @gadgetviper suggestion and it worked for a time but seemed like a pain in the rear. So I observed it some more and I've found that sequencing may have a part to play here. I prime the pump by running a blank shot through the machine and heat the components. This just reassures me that the pump is working. Then when I'm ready to run a real shot I make sure that I put the water reservoir in first. I've noticed that that creates positive pressure flowing in the right direction with bubbles going through on the other end. Then I place the filter basket and the Porta filter as a the last step before pumping. Ever since I've started doing doing it in that sequence I've not had any issues ever since. Lucky? I don't know but I think screwing in the reservoir first might do the trick.
I do that also. The hotter the machine is before brewing - the better. I have three of these - gave one to my friend and made him a kona espresso - now he's hooked. I have been using the other two units every day my for over a year now and the pump works great. I would suggest using a medium grind to prevent overpressuriIbg the unit. Flavor is just as good. Also get the barista kit for double shots !
@@markbergendahl2651 I've had one for a few years now but I've never had a proper espresso maker. Used to make do with a stove top bialetti but that was unsatisfactory and messy. That's why I've been having so much fun with this new toy.

Hi, I think I missed that orange valve, and I'm not sure if it comes as replacement, so is there any chance you show me a picture of it in order I can find something similar or maybe build it with a 3d printer? Thanks
Hi Mark, I just bought a "Nanopresso" and I'm interested how is going with your machines, because you're using it for 9 months. Any tips or advices? And by the way, I'm already a fan of the coffee that it makes.
I recently upgraded to the new Picopresso. The Picopresso takes 16 grams of espresso grinds and uses 1 ounce of water. You get a "ristretto" that is incredibly smooth. Although the Picopresso does not have the attachments to make a Cafe Longo, or to take Nespresso or Dulce Gusto pods like the Nanopresso, it has a a very sturdy pumping system and metal filters and grind baskets. Advice: Get everything, including their thermal cups ! Enjoy !!!!
Still using this same nanopresso. I have found that the unit can over pressurize when using a fine grind. So I always use a medium grind in the unit and the espresso is just great and the pump no longer malfunctions
i am wondering about buying this coffee machine. i dont have alot of money and this Nanopresso would cost me 100$. do you think i should buy it or instead a electric coffee machine? i would mainly use it at home and sometimes in the woods, but my priority would be making a good expresso shot at home. i am not a coffee specialist, so please dont think i would refuse to drink anything but perfect.
@@Francois_Dupont You will not be disappointed with the nanopresso - I used it to make coffee every day for a friend of mine at my health club and later for my wife - it makes great espresso !!!!!I also own a Delonghi espresso maker which works well - but costs 250 bucks and has its own set of problems. I vote for the Nanopresso !!!
Mine did this, so I assessed the situation. No pressure build up in the grinds. So instead of assembling like you did, I took the filter out of the round housing, placed it on the grind holder by itselfmaking sure it had a tight seal, put those pieces into the presso, then screwed the top on. Works perfectly ever since

I used too fine a grind which caused an over-pressure problem. Stick with medium-fine grind and you'll be OK. Also - periodically remove the orange gasket that surrounds the pressurization unit and clean out any pasty residue - to prevent leakage (which is another pressure-related problem that is easily solved by cleaning).
Hey mark, I’ve tried all that I can to love the machine and it was wonderful but now it’s sooooo stiff when I pump. I’ve tried to “depress” the orange plus rubber thing to make it work but still, when I start pumping the water isn’t as flowy as before. I’ve played around with the tamping of the coffee and even settled with a single shot but still nothing Can you show some troubleshoot through video or comment here and help?

Hi Mark. Although it was actually intended for the manufacture company, your video has shared insightful information to many nanopresso fans around the world. And I thank you for that Sir :) Actually, I seem to be having the same problem with my nanopresso. I never considered about the orange valve/rubber before you mentioned about it. And while it may be fixed or worked around by the tricks that you mentioned in the comments, I am interested about what did the company has offered you for a solution about this problem? Is the Warranty Card really applicable for this situation? Because if it doesn't, I don't really think that it would be applicable for anything else :p Thank you.
Yes. But even a new pump unit may fail. Today I had the same problem with another nanopresso (Red colored) while preparing a cup of espresso at my health club (Ha! Ha!). I was able to get it working again by removing the water reservoir. Next I placed it under a running faucet and gently pumped it while pushing downward on the orange plug. When I could feel a little bit of resistance on the pumping lever, I put the unit down and refilled the water reservoir with boiling water and the unit made a great cup of espresso after that. It seems that i am having "Cadillac" or "Mercedes" problems ! (No problems at all !) After reading some of the reviews of espresso makers that cost $150 dollars - to $1,000 dollars (US) - I'll take the nanopresso (with barista kit) over these other products ! Enjoy !
Glad you liked it. Remember to use medium-find grounds and periodically remove the orange gasket on the pressurization unit - to remove pasty residue. These nanopresso's work year after year !!!!
try to use baking soda an hot water..keep it for 5 minutes and pump it a half of tank and wait 5 minute before you empty the tank..it is work with my nanopresso
Hello Mark, I just managed to have amazon agree on refunding my nanopresso, I believe this problem is in the orange rubber part on the pressure head, u’ll find somewhere there a small gap, Im very disappointed with the reliability of this product, I only used it 5 or 6 times (Im very careful and clean) and it stopped working, keeping in mind that I received mine already defected and wacaco sent me a replacement to the pressure head. I think it has very poor quality and people who have theirs working are just lucky, and it sucks for them that they are selling a product having their customers rely on luck !
Hi, I've been using this for a month, I do encounter a few times the pressure didn't build up no matter how hard I pump. Normally what I do it to make sure the basket is clean, coffee has a flat surface, no coffee power around the perimeter and under the basket so the pressure (water) won't leak because of a few grain of particles lift up and open up a gap.
Thanks ! The nanopresso works best after a cycle of hot water is pumped through the unit. When heated the pressure unit screws in farther and the unit pressurizes quicker. When everything is working optimally you can hear a "pop" sound as the spring-loaded plug retracts and espresso comes out in a single stream. After I'm done, I like to run a cycle of hot water through the unit with everything intact using an empty brew basket. This usually removes any trapped grinds. Have Fun !
Just descale it with some commercial espresso machine descaling fluid (or you can use vinegar or citric acid) and hot water. Just like you would with any normal espresso machine
Hello, I have a problem with my minipresso. the coffee or water does not pass the last filter or superior filter does not pass. all the water stays there. I have the coffee maker for a month.
The nanopresso and minipresso work best with medium grind coffee and may stall with a fine espresso or Turkish grind. That being said, be sure to check all the gaskets on your minipresso for a tight fit (remove any ground coffee that may be lodged inside the gaskets. Next run a capful of boiling water in the minipresso without any coffee grounds to ensure that it is pumping satisfactorily. After that, fill the basket with "medium" ground coffee and "do not" tamp it down hard. Put boiling water into the reservoir and pump slowly a few times. Let the water infuse the coffee for 5 or10 seconds, then pump it out slowly. This should work. Note: Only the new Picopresso is designed to work with a fine espresso grind and tamping, as it has a better pumping system and filter (which does not have flimsy rubber gaskets that can bulge with overpressuring).
The solution was to use medium grind coffee. At the time I was using espresso grind. The picopresso has a wire included for punching flow channels in the brew basket. That is an improvement.
Ironically I have been using this continually since I posted this video. Sometimes you have to prime the pump (which I did in the video), but it continues to work. For best results I run a cycle of hot water through this with an empty brew basket. Once the pump and cap heat up, they screw together tighter and the pump works smoothly. I'm up to 400 plus shots on this unit right now. Thanks for your comment. Mark
I have the exact same problem, only its not periodic, its permanent, it didnt work from the first try. I contacted them, and they still didnt get back to me, if you reach any solution please advise me with it. Thanks.
I usually unscrew the water reservoir, leave an 1/8 inch of water over the tiny orange valve. Next I use a small knife or fork tine to depress the orange valve while pumping slowly. About 6 to 8 pumps the water starts flowing through the pump. I replace the reservoir with boiling water and reassemble the unit and finish brewing espresso. Don't give up ! I usually have problems with the pump when I use too fine a grind or tamp it in too tightly. You know, the nanopresso will produce great espresso with even medium grind !! I bought 4 of these because they are a lot more economical than a large electronic machine. Actually I think they produce a very good expresso. Also I usually use the barista kit to make double shots and a hand-powered milk brother for lattes. Good Luck !
Today I had the same problem only I was unable (using my own restart technique - pressing the orange plug down) to get the nanopresso working. I took a short break and then went back to pumping it with the orange plug depressed with 1/8 inch water over the plug. Eventually I got it working again. However with all of these comments the manufacturer should work on improving the design so that this doesn't continue to plague users. The espresso produced with these units is remarkable (I use a Kona dark roast; a Kona Decaf hazelnut flavored - for lattes and Raley's decaf hazelnut). I'll continue to investigate - and see what is actually causing the problem. I have 4 of these so I have a good size pool to research with.
I have found that during the cleaning process it is helpful to remove the orange gasket and clean out any remaining coffee grounds that would prevent the gasket from making a clean seal for the next brew
Since making this video several years ago, I have found that the unit works best with a fine (but not ultra fine) grind - I use a Mr. Coffee grinder set on fine. This setting will not produce a true espresso grind, but is coarse enough to allow boiling water to pass through the nanopresso without causing an overpressure problem.
Hi Mark, I also have a Nanopresso. I've been using it for about a month and it's working alright. I think you want to contact with the company about your problem you have with your product. You can also try to open the iron part of the top of your nanopresso, which may be jammed because of the fine grind coffee powder.
Thanks. I'm keeping all suggestions which are great. So far I have been able to get my units working. Keeping the unit clean is important. I've had fewer problems using a medium to fine grind. Happy coffee making !
Why monitor the problem? Why not call the company to troubleshoot or replace (if you haven't already)? I've made at least 50 shots with mine since Xmas. Every time the flows starts around 7.5 - 8 pumps. Also, you seem to be pumping too fast. I believe it's supposed to be 1 second per pump. Watching your pump rate doesn't pass the "One one-thousand, two one-thousand, etc" test for me. Apparently, if you have coffee backing up into the water reservoir, you're pumping too fast. Maybe that matters. Good luck.
The company had asked for a video of the problem. At issue is the periodic failure of the unit to create a strong vacuum. When it fails it fails at any pumping rate. I have been able to get the unit pumping again by lifting up the tiny orange plug with tweezers while priming it with a little water and then pumping it. I also stopped using extra finely ground coffee in my unit and that seems to have helped. I'm at 75 shots now.
"The company had asked for a video of the problem." That makes sense. Sorry I missed it. I (and I think other Nanopresso owners) would be interested to know how your issue finally gets resolved, esp. if it requires action by Wacaco. I can be pretty relaxed about a product failure if the company stands behind it and they courteous and professional about it. Have you formed an opinion about the Barista Kit?
darkpatches The barista kit is great ! I use it to make double shots every day! I will make another video showing how to fix the pump if it fails to create enough pressure. Usually this happens if I use too fine a grind (like Turkish grind) which tends to impede the flow of water and can create an over-pressure condition in the pump unit. All 4 now - it'a great system & I use it every day
I think I may get the issue in the video with my minipresso knock off if there are grinds on the top rim of the basket when it's screwed in - I guess it doesn't seal properly? I'm quite happy I bought a knock off - it seems to be of comparable quality to the genuine one, and Wacaco don't sound that great to deal with when there are issues.
While we're discussing each other technique though (as started by Darkpatches) I see a lot of demos where people load/attach the coffee before the hot water. In the interests of avoiding bumps potentially fracturing the tamped puck or dislodging it from the sides of the plastic basket, I fill and attach the water tank, then tamp clean and carefully sit the basket on top and then put a small amount of hot water from the kettle on top of the puck before screwing the head on as an alternative preinfusion (though you want to be ready to flip it up and start pumping right away lest you preinfuse too long)... not certain this is best just something I am playing with.
Here's what I would do: 1. Buy another one from Amazon and after brewing an espresso successfully, switch pump unit on the new one with the non-functioning nanopresso. 1. If the new unit doesn't work you can return it to Amazon within 30 days - no questions asked. 2. If the new unit works but after interchanging parts from the old unit - find that you still can't get the old pump working again, you may ship it to me and I'll do a new video of it as I try to get it to work. Include the serial no. Of the unit Ship to : M. Bergendahl 12220 Westwood Drive Auburn, California 95603 USA 95603
For a truly bomb-proof espresso I recommend the new Picopresso. The flimsy gaskets are gone; the pumping system is better and you can use a fine espresso grind and firmly tamp it down. The flavor of espresso is better because you load 16 grams of grind into the steel brew basket. Pumping action is smooth and it doesn't succumb to overpressure, like the nanopresso.
Akh....sorry....i just want to know why?? Its not about respect or not...is curious ..whats wrong with me is i just want to know the condition with that shake..
I use the Picopresso, which has corrected all of these failure problems. The Picopresso uses 16 grams of grind, can handle true espresso grounds, has steel components and provides a ristretto. So much better !
