Kitchen Artisan Coffee Machine - I've got good pressure but the pump isn't delivering much water, can you help? thanks

You don't say if there is any water flowing along with the loud noise. If there is none then my suggestion would be that it's a dry water pump so you will need to force some water up the clear pickup tube into the pump while it's making that loud noise. The pump valves will be dry.

Hi just a tip from experience, grind the coffee fine and keep the spout ( where the coffee comes out) very near the cup, while making the coffee.

Coffee may be to fine. To Check, open pill door and press any blinking button. If water comes out then for sure the coffee is to fine.

Prime means.... pumping. In other words the water in the machine goes through a water pump. That pump, pumps the water from the fresh water container in your machine and pumps it up through the machine, then goes into a heating element that heats the water and then of course flows over the coffee or tea that you put in your machine to give you a nice cup of hot tea or coffee. Priming is in a sense getting the air out or allowing the water to start flowing. If you have a vapor lock or air lock, you need to prime it to kind of help this pump start pulling the water up to the coffee.

Hello, this is common. The pumps on these machines are not real good pressure. Sometimes you have to help it prime for the pump to work.
So one very good way to solve the problem is to turn the machine on and lift the water reservoir up just a couple of inches and then jam it back in place fast and hard. With this way is like it injects just enough pressure into the system to open the check valve and when the motor pump will run you will realize that immediately water will passing through from reservoir to brewer tank. This procedure has to be done often between cups.

From what we seen in internet their hundreds about the same problem but we have not see any serious response about it From Keurig's customer service yet.
One other important and related problem frequently reported is the irregulars doses of coffee like HALF-FILLED CUPS of coffee e.t.a

This must be redesign from Keuring factory since there is not much we can do about it to solve once for all even if they will replace your machine with a new one you will have the same problem in few weeks. And definitely this not a problem due your Electricity in your area or due to hard water. However hard water areas will face bigger and more intensive the above problem so one more suggestion is to descaling the machine every week this will help a lot.

If you find the above helpful please remember to vote for it Thanks Mike

Hi all, got a Artisan 5KPES100 and I'm not getting any water thru' the espresso boiler. Machine is making an occasional noise & sometimes just releasing a bit of steam thru' the espresso boiler, but no water. Have replaced the water pump, but still no water being drawn from the water tank. Hose is NOT kinked & there IS sufficient water in tank. Could it be the solenoid? Can I swap over the solenoids(coils) to check as frothing boiler is still producing water & steam? Any ideas would be magic.

The steam guage is rather slow to respond and the pointer has become detatched on my machine but it's working well and froths good after about 5 minutes from start up, although I do tend to leave my machine on all day and just make sure that there is sufficient fresh water in the tank

good day,
hope this link below will solve your problem..

if you have water out brewing without handle with coffee, than you check this 3 things:

1. how fine is grinded the coffe, is it too fine for your machine?
2. does pump make enough pressure to brew your coffee(you can measure if you attach an gauge to handle or steam pipe.
3. by any chance your boiler security valve opens too soon and dont let pump to get the needed pressure. (perfect pressure is from 7 to 9 bar)
