Cuisinart DCC-1200: My Cusinart DCC-1200: brewed coffee isn't flowing into the carafe

Sun, 21 Jan 2024 07:57:24 -0700

I add my coffee ground in the filter basket holder, add water in the reservoir then flipped the switch to the ON position. In a short few seconds normally the hot water coffee mixture will begin draining into the carafe. However, nothing happens.

I verified that the coffee maker is plugged into an active ac outlet, the clock on the Cusinart is set to the current time, the function knob is set to Auto On, and the On and Auto Indicator Light lights up.

hello, water is not coming out when i press the botton to make an espresso.

Dear sirs,

Is there a place that repairs these barista espressor makers? as I have taken my apart from the back to make sure the two plastic tubing lines are clear, I have poke a small nail into the opening where the tubes connect to make sure they weren't plugged, but the pump part of the expresso maker does not seem to have enough suction to pull the water up into the machine, and I don't know what else to do to fix it

Keurig K200 Plus: Keep getting "Brew Interrupted" Message on coffee pods

Sat, 09 Feb 2019 09:50:43 -0700

Help! I had been having an issue brewing coffee pods in my Keurig K200. It started after about a year of no problems. All of my teas, hot chocolates, and ciders work perfectly. However, whenever I try to use one of my wife's coffee pods, I was getting grounds in the cup and only about 6 ounces out of the 10 that I wanted. After this problem persisted (yes I used the orange cleaner, descaled multiple times, used the paper clips), we finally decided to try a new machine. We got the K200 Plus and literally the 2nd coffee kcup gave me the "brew interrupted: water under pressure" message and a ton of grounds pouring out of the top of the pod and into the cup. I have no idea what the problem could be. When I called Keurig the guy I talked to had me go through the same stupid cleaning process that I have done more times than I can count and said the problem was fixed, but it was not. I feel like this should not happen with the 2nd time using the new machine and it tells me that maybe the machine is not our issue since it happened with the old machine as well. I have tried using multiple brands of kcups and we have a water filter in our reservoir tank.

The most confusing thing to me is why the machines work with absolutely no issue for literally everything but coffee. I figured if it was a problem with the water or machine, it would mess up on everything.

Please help!

Gaggia Classic Espresso Machine: Espresso Steamer leak repair on Gaggia Classic

Wed, 29 Jun 2016 15:12:15 -0700

The milk steamer leaks when machine is on.

See Item on the right:

https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/ig...

It has a tiny washer inside it. I replaced that washer to stop the steamer leaking water and steam at the screw on the join at the washer in the image.

What else could be causing the leak?

I note one part of this Steamer is brass the other chromed material... heating and expanding at different rates?

Starbucks Barista: Steam wand leaking, no water from brew head, odd brew button behavior

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 07:33:39 -0700

I picked up a secondhand machine that I'm trying to get working again, but I'm having some issues. Initially, the steam wand worked fine but nothing came out of the brew head so I did a full disassembly and cleaned everything, including soaking parts in citric acid to remove calcium buildup (there was a lot). When I reassembled everything and ran the machine, I noticed the steam wand began leaking as the machine heated up, until the ready light came on then it stopped. When I pressed the coffee button, however, water came out of the steam wand instead of the brew head, as if I had activated the steam wand despite the knob being in the off position. I ran a cycle of Dezcal, thinking there might still be some buildup preventing water from flowing to the brew head, but nothing changed.

After reading some answers to other questions here, it seems like my problem is that the steam wand leaking is preventing enough pressure to activate the mechanism that allows water to flow through the brew head. I've taken out the little hex screw and tightened the knob as much as possible but that didn't fix the issue either. Is there something else that might be causing the steam wand to leak? I'm also concerned about the coffee button behavior; is that just a result of the steam wand issue or is something else wrong?

Melitta Caffeo Barista T: Refill beans is always on screen

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 06:39:57 -0700

We are the owners of the Melitta Caffeo Barista TS for 4 years

Recently, the machine has been repeatedly indicating that I should refill beans, but this is filled with beans. I changed the beans and wiped out the container, grinder inside of machine but the problem persists.

Or when Refill beans is on the screen and we press the button to do coffee it did it few times

We tried to soak the brewing block just in water for a,few,hours, we can get 1-2 cups of coffee after that and the issue starts again.

What is interesting when we put in a ground coffee it works without any problems.

What could be the cause?

I would be very grateful about tips: what seems to be problem or who can fix it?

Nespresso: Lattissima Pro EN750MB - No water from Spout!?!

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 06:30:54 -0700

Had this machine for a number of years. Recently experienced the well-documented leaking from the Extraction Head. I replaced the Head ... produces espresso perfectly now/no leaking. However, now no water comes out of the water spout - so no hot water or frothing. All the hot water is diverted to the tray during this mode. I have tried all the "air pocket" removal techniques ... tried forced air back through the system and it comes out into the drain/tray area.

Starbucks Barista: Brew Screen / Boiler Valve Issues-- what to do when its' stuck?

Sun, 23 Feb 2025 00:00:52 -0700

Recently the brew screen (screen attached to the bottom of the boiler unit screwed into the mushroom boiler valve) ended up in my portafilter. I thought, "no biggie-- just screw it back in." Well, that isn't working-- screw has somehow become too short (though it doesn't appear to be stripped or broken). Ideas? Here are mine, would love some feedback.

1. Maybe it IS slightly stripped and not catching.

2. Maybe there is an issue with my mushroom boiler valve-- went up into the machine?

2a. I cannot unscrew my mushroom boiler valve for the life of me-- tried many different times with various tools.

Suggestions before I start aimlessly buying pieces and trying to replace things? Much appreciated! ~ Stephen

Starbucks Barista: Portafilter loosens during brewing, rotates to left and leaks!

Sat, 22 Feb 2025 23:50:03 -0700

Have a problem that is occurring with increasing frequency. After I attach the portafilter to the brewhead and push the brew button (after the green light comes on) the filter and handle rotate slowly to the left and eventually the filter loosens enough that the seal to the brewhead is lost and coffee, grounds, etc. start to leak out the top of the portafilter. I am attaching the filter very firmly but that does not seem to help. I have cleaned the screens and gasket, etc....all looks to be in good order, the gasket is complete and not hardened. Have not been able to find any advice on this particular issue anywhere online. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
