DeLonghi ESAM xxxx - (Different Types): Delonghi 6900.m No steam. Weird noise

Sat, 20 Dec 2025 12:04:02 -0700

I have a Delonghi Primadonna Exclusive 6900.M

Everything seems to work fine except for the steam.

It will produce hot water out of the water spout and will also do a full descale.

But when I choose the steam function or put the milk canister on it makes a funny noise like it has a blockage because when I stop it some steam comes out the back of the machine. I have always done the descales and changed O- rings when needed. Greased up the enfuser when was getting stuck, that fixed that. Put rubber grommet in suction straw on the milk canister that has a smaller hole in it to slowdown the milk feed so that it heats up more, got this from delonghi. Hot cuppachino now.

What do you think is the problem. Could it be the solenoid doing this.

The machine has a external push on water and steam spout.

This is the machine.

Also a milk jug.

Keurig K-Express Essentials: Why won't my Keurig K Express brew a 10oz cup of coffee?

Sat, 13 Dec 2025 14:38:00 -0700

My Keurig K Express is brand new...I can choose a 6 oz, 8 oz or 10 oz cup. I want my 10 oz cup but it ONLY brews an 8 oz cup. Very annoying! Always something with Keurig. I think this will be my last.

Ninja Coffee Bar CF086: How do I disassemble the drip stop cup to fix the contact inside?

My drip stop is not working all the time. The trouble light comes on sometimes even when the drip stop is in the open position. So I want to disassemble the drip stop cup/filter holder to clean or otherwise fix the contact inside. How do I take it apart without breaking it?

Saeco Odea: Saeco Odea Giro Flashing thermostat light.

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 09:39:41 -0700

My Saeco Odea Giro machine has a blinking thermostat light at startup implying the boiler is heating but it never stops blinking and I can’t initiate a brew.

I don’t have easy access to a service centre so I would be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction on how to solve it.

Nespresso inissia: Anyone have an idea of what resistor is used for Inissia 120v

Fri, 13 Jun 2025 00:34:22 -0700

Anyone have an idea of what resistor is used for Inissia 120v (how many Ohms)? In my case the resistor blew, and now I can't determine ohms as one of the stripes is not visible.

here's a pic of the resistor, and here's a pic of the board and the burnt resistor

New pics to share, and also when I scan the QR code 8t gives me this: IMBLV2112301520.

I'm assuming that may be the model?

Krups Nespresso XN 2107 XN210 XN212: Steam wand not working

Mon, 26 May 2025 12:09:15 -0700

The steam wand does not go through the full cycle of frothing the milk. It stops a couple of seconds into the process, with the image and words 'attach steamp tip' on the display. We have checked / unscrewed / screwed this on and off multiple times, including buying a new steam tip from the nespresso website.

How can this be fixed please?

Nespresso: Nespresso Essenza Mini piece compatibility

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 15:32:05 -0700

I am looking for replacement parts for my Nespresso Essenza Mini. Specifically, I need replacements for the:

Drip tray (NN-306033, NN-306032)
Drip grid (NN-306034)
Drip capsule container (NN-306029)

I bought my machine in Argentina, this model is labelled as Essenza Mini C30. Since I am located in Spain now, the replacement parts I can find here have a different denomination. They all look exactly the same, but the listings say they are compatible with XN110 models.

Now, my question is: are these parts the exact same, but just with different model names? I wouldn't want to buy replacements just to find that they are a few milimiters off and they don't work for my machine.

I have an acquaintance with the same model as me, so I'll have him measure the parts to see if they match the pieces I'm looking to buy, but other than that is there a way for me to ensure the pieces are compatible?

Thanks!

Nespresso: Nespresso Citiz water leaking problem

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:21:31 -0700

Hello all,

When I press either the Espresso or Lungo button, all the water leaks out from the bottom of the machine. Could you help me understand what might be causing this issue and whether it can be fixed?

I purchased the machine in 2021, and I’m quite disappointed with its lifespan, as it’s the shortest I’ve experienced with a Nespresso machine. I called Nespresso Customer Service and they said they won't repair it and asked me to buy a new one.

I’d appreciate any advice or guidance you can provide to resolve this issue.

Starbucks Barista: How much should I tighten brew head screen screw?

Sun, 23 Feb 2025 00:27:04 -0700

I removed the center screw holding the brew head screen, and cleaned the screen and exposed surface of the brew head. Then I put the brew head screen back in place with the center screw. I am unsure how much to tighten the center screw, as I am concerned that tightening it until the screw stops turning may tighten it too much and block water flowing from the center of the brew head. Can someone please tell me how much I should tighten the brew head screen center screw?

Coffee Maker: Brewing unit not fitting properly

Tue, 18 Feb 2025 01:41:10 -0700

My melitta caffeo barista T I can’t get the brewing unit fully in.. it slides over the wheel easily and I am able to lock the handle. But it isn’t being recognised as inserted. When it’s as far as I am able to insert it there is a small gap so the 2 small stumps don’t push the retracting pins into the roller to push the roller cover to the right. I’ve reset the cog wheel inside the machine madr sure there no dirt etc. the circle with the bump that’s has to be at 3oclock is fine. I’ve lubricated with food silicone, cooking oil after cleaning the unit. Google said to make sure the sensor is clean but I’ve no idea where that is or what it looks like. I’ve always struggled with getting it back in but this time I’ve been trying for three days now. I’m a 79 old old female don’t know the jargon for the bits and my hands are a bit arthritic . So if someone could point me in the direction of this sensor that has to be triggered to accept the unit or tell me that the stumpy things should not be visible looking through where the tray goes. If it is that then I will ask a young fellow neighbour to give i a push, I have btw had it next to a wall to push unit in and I just can’t get it any further the gap is wider than the length of the stumps. 🤞🤞🤞🤞 for any help. Hope you understand

DeLonghi ETAM Series: ECAM 23.210.b initialisation fails when unit press brew piston switch

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 08:17:35 -0700

@vauweh I have also an other coffeemaker who gives me headaches...

It’s an ECAM 23.210.b. This one turn on, but at the initialisation when the unit touch the top limit switch from the brew piston something strange happens.

On the screen leds shows this sequence :

Warning led comes on
Warning led goes off
ESC + OK leds comes on
ESC + OK leds goes off
Temperature led comes on
Temperature led goes off
Warning lights up and stays on

I have changed a lot of parts because the previous owner tried to fix it and did some damage… So, the brew piston and the unit are brand new. The transmission motor is changed by a second-hand one. The previous owner give me 2 power boards and 2 water pumps with the coffeemaker.

After changing the parts listed above, the coffeemaker at the initialisation worked normally. However, when I pressed « 1 cup » the grinder came on 1 sec and I got the error as there was no grounds in unit.

I think the previous owner did damage on the two power boards. Because one of the two board has broken connectors. What do you think ?

Starbucks Barista: Portafilter - Busted and probably unfixable... need suggestions.

Wed, 28 Aug 2024 14:08:48 -0700

So I bought that little L-spring to fix my portafilter and discovered that a peg seems to be missing to attache the one side.

I tried jerry-rigging it by adding a screw where the missing post is and it didn't power up then pop when drawing a shot.

I've seen suggestions and they're all pretty sketchy.

The newer and disappearing version of portafilter isn't cheap, but seems built cheap.

Does anyone know if the portafilter for the HD8325 (Poemia) units works with ours? It looks like it should and those portafilters are available and cheap: Philips Encompass

Has anyone experienced this noise: https://vimeo.com/988433453/d1f1979d2d?s...

It happens a bit immediately at the start of the video but more clearly between .13 seconds and .17 seconds.

Sometimes the sound is much more pronounced and longer. The pressure will drop to zero for a duration and then right back up to 9 again.

Thanks for any help
