20 Most Recent Braun Tassimo Espresso Machine/Coffee Maker Questions & Answers

I do not have experience with milk or chocolate, but for coffee and tea, at the end of a brew cycle, the green light should flip to the MANUAL light. For the next 30 seconds you have the option to press and hold the start button, to force more hot water through the pod into your cup. Give this a try to purge the pod of it's goodies!

Good luck.

The float that detects the water level might need freeing up. Or, assuming detachable water container, ensure that it is seated fully. Lift it up a bit and guide it down firmly. If it's not that, try unplugging the machine for about 5 mins. and see if it resets to normal operation.

I found a website under Braun that had the operating manual in pdf.

Hi the top light is orange but the bottom light is flashing red and only a bit of water will come out then it stops

Same problem, used descaler as instructed and all was solved and brewing back to normal:)

Removing the red descaling light is simple.
1. Fill reservoir with half vinegar and half water (no need for the special descaling product from Tassimo).
2. Turn on machine.
3. Insert yellow cleaning disc found in back of machine.
4. This is where most people have the their problem...You must hold the start button for 3 to 5 seconds for the descaling program to start. Both green and red light will flash.
5. Once started, use a large cup to catch the output of water.
6. The machine will cycle through the descaling program in about 30 to 45 minutes. Be paitent!!!
7. Once completed, run many cups of plain water through the system to remove the vinegar taste.
8. Red light problem is solved.

Hope this works for you.

Please read this if your red descaling light won't turn off: Key is to follow directions. When you fill the tank with water to descale add 500 cc - no more. The machine "knows" that the cycle ends when water runs out. Once water runs out the red light will turn off. Continue with cleaning the tank and running a cleaning cycle. The red light is gone and you are good to go.

Try wiping off the barcode reader window under where the t-disc barcode sits.

A clog in the machine?
