I have a Delonghi EN165 Nespresso Machine. My Lungo process stops working after a few seconds. The espresso process works as normal. What could the problem be and is there an easy way to fix it?

First thing to try is a descale. Run the machine normally using it (as if making a cup of both types) a couple of times with a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water. Leave the machine off but uncleaned overnight. run a couple of cycles with just water, and if there is still a slight vinegar taste then run a cycle with a teaspoon of baking soda in water, then flush with just water again. If this doesn't solve the problem, try again with 75% vinegar. If still not working, there is either a control board problem (may be solveable), or the valve/solenoid that stops/allows the water is sticking, almost certainly solveable by taking that apart and cleaning/lubricating. Definitely solveable by replacement. Let me know what you get after a descale if no luck. Hope this helps :)

SOURCE: DeLonghi EC701 Pump out

I had the same issue. Scale build up in the port that routes water to the boiler outlet for the coffee filter basket. Frother tube was fine.

I used CLR to open it back up. Used 1 part to 4 of water and ran a whole reserviour through the unit. At first, it only dripped and then finally it blew open when the CLR dissolved the scale.

Make sure to run lots of clean water through the unit after so that you don't end up drinking acid with your next cup. I ran about a gallon through to rinse it out.

Nespresso CitiZ Espresso Machine by De'Longhi. Turned on started process by pushing left green light but stopped process before coffee made. Now machine just makes a noise and no water coming through.

Question edited for full make model (what it is)', and change 'Citz' to CitiZ.

Try a full reset.

Reset to factory settings With machine being turned off, press and hold down the Lungo button for 5 seconds. LEDS will blink fast 3 times to confirm machine has been reset to factory settings.

1.My Nespresso Pixie Lights never stop flashing. 2. I also want to reset to factory settings because the cup portions are off. 3. I feel the water temperatures is never hot enough for the coffee

1: Depending on how long you've had your machine, it may need descaling. The machines are preset for hard water - if you're in an area with soft water, try pressing and holding the Lungo button while you turn the machine on. Hold until the lights stop flashing.
2: The Pixie can be reset to factory settings by holding both buttons down before and when you turn the machine on, again until the lights stop flashing - this will reset to factory settings.
3: The temperature is preset to be the optimum temperature for the extraction process. If, after following the above steps, the temp is still too low, call the Nespresso Club and they will advise you.
Hope this is of help to you!

My machine both Expresso and Lungo lights keep flash, how do I fix it?

Expresso is not coffee. Espresso is. So I assume you don't have a real coffee machine...

My nespresso is only creating 3-4 oz of coffee using the 6 oz button. Have descaled with no change. Any ideas?

Try holding both the buttons down and then turning the machine on while still holding the buttons till they stop flashing - usually about 2 - 5 seconds. This will reset to factory settings. Then you can reprogramme the Lungo button if necessary, by holding it down white the coffee is being extracted, till the amount you want is processed. The machine will remember this till you reset to factory settings.

Nespresso Maestria pump isn't primed

We had the same problem and were ready to return the device when we were able to fix it. Here is what we did:
1. Fill the water tank all of the way and place in machine
2. Let the tank sit in position for a few hours (we let ours sit for 3)
3. Run the descaling option
4. Run a few cycles of the "longo"
5. If the machine is still not working repeat the process (Ours started to run after the 2nd cycle)

It just appears that the pumps are shipping with air in them and needs patience to get it out. Once you get it going though you won't regret it :)

Nespresso citiz won['t exit descaling mode

After speaking with Nespresso, I suspect that the previous answers are coincidences rather than solutions. The issue, according to Nespresso (and which I've now confirmed through testing) is that the Citiz tends to overheat when you run this much water through it. You will notice that the blinking lights go from a fast blink to a slower blink when this happens. At this point, you need to simply wait for the machine to cool down - eventually, the lights will switch back to a fast blink, and you can now take it out of descaling mode or run another batch of water through it. Nespresso says this takes about 5 minutes - in my experience, it's closer to 10 (I haven't timed it, but it's slow to cool). So patience is the rule of the day!

My Nespresso citiz lungo button will only give expresso amount of water

Ok, what you have done is programmed your machine. If you hold down the button for 3 secs you get 3 secs of coffee, so turn on your machine wait for it to warm up then without using a capsule press and hold the button until you get 110mls for a lungo and this will be stored in the memory. If this doesn't work there is a on/off switch on the right handside turn it on with your finger down on the lungo button for 5 secs and then release the button and this will take it back to factory settings.
