Solve Your Coffee Crisis! Fixing a Leaky Nespresso Lattissima Plus 

This was so so helpful, thank you. Even me, a 58 year old woman did this. A few swear words but its done :) works like new. Thank you.

This video saved my marriage. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I was hesitant to try attempt this but you walked me thru it with very good instructions.

Works perfectly now again. Thank you very much for your step by step explanation. No waste!

Very good video. It enabled me to solve the leaking issue and to keep my coffee machine running. I also removed the defuser plate and cleaned it on both sides. The machine is working like new now. Thanks!

Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video. It seems to have fixed the problem and the instructions were clear and concise. Thanks!

You sir is a life saver. Thank you from Brazil!! P.s. i'm traumatized, i've been drinking ants for i don't know how long.

Works! I took the added step of soaking the cylinder unit in the same anti-calcification solution that we run through the Nespresso machine every few months for 10 minutes before brushing. You're right that removing that last plastic cover on the noozle was very difficult. I used a small flat screwdriver to pry up the tab and simultaneously push forward on the cover.

Excellent video! It really helped me! I was about to give up until I found this tip! If you follow the instructions you will have a “brand new” Expresso machine. Mine was completely clogged by coffee residue. Thanks!

Thanks a million, Handy Coco!❤You are a life saver! My leaky machine works again ! I followed step by step and my husband was surprised that I could dismantle and assemble back all on my own.😊

Just did it and works!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!

Thank you! Fixed for me! The comment below on getting off that nozzle was hard work!, (but accurate). I also managed to remove the front disk/grill plate the capsule pushes onto for a cleaning. Since our machine is second-hand from a relative, I wondered if a missing o-ring may have been the issue where the compartment closes onto the disk/grill plate. I couldn't see one in yours from pausing the video, so I assume there isn't one! We fixed our machine speedily, thanks to your video. Just need to be careful disconnecting the plug from the circuit board, as it is a socket, so as not to unknowingly pull the whole thing off the board. Thank you so much!

I have a Lattissima Touch, under the hood it's basically the same hardware. Thanks for this tutorial!

Great video! 👍 We have exact same model, and has just started doing the same thing. I'll be taking it to my workshop to dismantle Thanks.

This is amazing!!!! Saved my machine. Many thanks!!!

Thanks so much for this, awesome video and our coffee machine is now no longer leaking. Legend!!!

Great video. Ultimately a fail for me. Upon reassembly, power never came on again. Possibly damaged ribbon connection prongs.??? I had a lot of coffee grounds flushed out that probably did not allow for a good seal, and hence caused leak., in the pod area as addressed in the video. I would recommend watching video to identify part to clean, then try cleaning area without disassembling first and see if that works.

Thank you for this excellent video. My mum had exactly the problem you described and her machine is out of warranty. I followed what you did and the problem has gone! Her machine is only 4 years old and we did not like the thought of having to replace it so soon. The only bits that made me nervous were reinstalling the ribbon connector (very fragile pins) and getting the water hose connected again (quite hard to push through to connect properly) but did both with some patience and all is good.

Awesome. Will try...I hope it works in my Nespresso!! Thank You!!

Good info on how to take to pieces. My issues were largely solved by changing the washer. The biggest issue I had was getting the clip back on the hose. There is a little band on the brass bit....this is not where the clip goes. Basically the hose wouldn't push back all the way in properly but I eventually managed it after a lot of swearing. The clip goes behind the brass end of the hose.

Excellent explanation video and demonstration thank you. Mine has exactly this issue. Will try the repair later as simple descaling hasn't worked.

That, my friend, was an extremely satisfying job. Thank you for the video.

Thank you very much, this is exactly my problem and your solution is fantastic.

Very helpful and clear video. thank you very much.

Awesome. Thanks!

Very helpful! Thank you

Great clip. Well done. Thanks 🙏

Thank you had one of these on the shelf for about a year because it leaked, just fixed it. I had the 550 model there is a small plastic bit under the on/off button that falls out when you take the top off don't forget to put it back in before you clip the top on or it does not turn on lol. I used a Water Flosser to fo round the inside has a fine high pressure water jet for flossing teeth but worked perfectly for this :).

Hi there, greetings from Brazil! Very useful video, congratulations! I did already this procedure, but the leaking still persists, do you think it's necessary to replace the extraction unit? I wouldn't like to put away my latissima, once it's in an excellent conditions. Tks in advance!

Muchísimas gracias! Ha funcionado, vuelvo a tener cafe jejeje ♡♡♡♡♡

4:11 I also had trouble getting it off and believed in a hidden nose holding it together and create planned obsolescence. But I was wrong! The two parts where glued together by the mud. I solved it by pushing the screw driver in on both sides in the following position: Go to 4:14, left of his right thumb. The little elevated plastic.

Thanks for a great video, one thing is when removing the ribbon I neglected to open the small clips that holds it in place and the entire clip came out, I had to glue it back in, hopefully it will hold.

Hi Handy Coco. Comment from CapeTown. Thanks for posting the video as I have been having the same problem with my exact same machine. I have done all the cleaning but I'm having difficulty re-installing the water pipe. I am not able to push it in far enough. I can see the o-ring inside the unit but it looks like the end of the pipe has developed a bit of a flange, which prevents me from pushing it in all the way. I am tempted to file down the flange, but I thought I would check with you first. Much appreciated.

This really helped as mine had same issue..

Hi, I have just followed this, very informative, however a small black pin with a spring on fell out of my brewing unit when I took it off, any idea where it goes? Many thanks

Thanks ... Great video.

Thanks!

Hi great video but it didnt work for me, its worst now, I think I need to change the complete piece. Do you now here to buy it?

Mine leaks water out the bottom too! Any fix ideas? I hate to throw my pretty red lattissima plus away!!

I have worked for many days to put the pin that holds the water tube back in. I can't get it to push all the way in. Any hints? I am ready to just crazy glue it back in.

I have the same problem with my machine, changed the part (for 50€) but it doesn’t solved the problem. Instead I cleaned up the outlet from outside, the outlet has 4 smal holes, and if one of them is closed, the water will rann out too - from the wrong place 😉. Clean it with a interdental brush or toothpick.

My exact same lattissima machine is leaking from bottom..like a pool of water every time! I’ve already descaled and it did nothing. Would you have any advice please?

I followed your explanations and cleaned the infuser part . But after puting everything back together now the machine leaks all the water and no coffe comes out (before I opened it only half of the water was leaking and i still had some coffe coming). Any idea what I could have done wrong? thanks

Great video. What is the identification of the cable on 1:55 so I can also buy a new one? Thanks.

Thanks!☕

I just put it all back together and now it's not lighting up it did for a second now nothing😢

Hope you can help me with mine. , the cappuccino and latte buttons don't light up when I attached the RCS the piece that attaches the machine doesn't seem to be damage and the decailing works just fine, so what could I do

Wait; how do you reattach the ribbon cable? In the video you appear to just snap it back in, but isn't it soldered onto the circuit board?

Good morning. What do you think could be the reason why my Nespresso Latissima 520 coffee machine does not retain my capsules? I have to manually hold them from the bottom to be able to squeeze the capsule. THANKS

My Machine is not piercing the front of the pods. Do you know what could cause this?

sadly it didnt work for me :((

Any idea how fix this machine that is leaking water

The problem of following off handed made videos gives misleading informations and the results are 300$ worth machine goes to dumb… and you said broken ribbon… how a bout broken circuit!!

Easy to follow video, with very clear instructions. All seems good so far. Found another clip (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NTmo9jy1dbs.htmlsi=gGn09-GgkECVsKAD) that shows how to take the diffuser plate out to give it a really thorough clean.
