Which lights are blinking this tells you what is wrong with the unit it says in your manual towards the end if you had 4 green blinking and 4 red blinking to turn off the unit for 15 seconds and replug the unit in and it also states that if all 8 are blinking to call this number this is your manual to your machine as well http://www.capresso.com/pdf/c1000.pdf click there if you have any further questions message me back and please remember when our chat has fully concluded to rank how this opinion has helped in your espresso machine issue Thanks Rick
1-800-220-5701 is the number listed to call for 8 blinking lights that are blinking continuously on page 20 of the link i posted
7 minutes is actually the reset the control time in my opinion that 15 seconds thing would still hold the error code please if you have no further questions please remember to rank how this opinion has helped in your espresso machine situation it allows me to continue to help others in similar situations in the future Thanks again Rick
what is your grind currently set at also? usually i see alot of people put the grind ratio up to 8 and this is the fatal flaw of the espresso machine at no time should the grind ratio be set that hi manufacturers suggested is for 5 but i have found moving it never above 7 causes for just as strong a brew yet alot less problems this is as far as the tamp is conserned also if your grind is to fine the tamp will also have issues due to this I await your reply Thanks Rick
you also probably could take the unit apart yourself but the problem with that is where do you get the parts these espresso machine companies do not sell parts to anyone except there distributors they try to keep all there repairs done in house. This way there company makes the profit on doing the repair as well as the part. Yes I agree this is a crappy way of how they do things I await your reply
this unit is not rated as a very good product the tamper seems to have issues dealing with built up oils that settle around the tamper area causing the tamper not to fucntion properly I suppose if you were able to remove the tamper and clean the tamper area from the residue of the oils this might alleviate the issue for awhile but this would be an ongoing cleaning of this area due to the build up of oils around that tamper I await your reply Thanks Rick
scroll down the page to see the suggestion about the oil build up on the tamper and if you look at that link that i posted there is also sections in this manual dealing with oily beans at 7.2 and chapter 13a should be read as well about cleaning the metal screen page 14 also discusses when dark oily beans are used and how it makes the internal metal screen clog up not allowing water through the unit with steps how to get your machine going again as well in the same section I await your reply Thanks Rick

4 green and 4 red are blinking, I've called the 800nmbr and they want to bring it in for service, trying to avoid this as very costly.
They did mention the tamp is getting stuck or it could be the brewing unit. Do you know of any other fixes? Any idea if I could take it apart myself?
Thanks
I've done the turn off power, unplug 30 seconds and sometimes resets it. But mostly just requires time to reset. thank you
7 min for reset good to know. Yeah 30 seconds does nothing that's for sure.
Is there a way to get the tamp to not stick without taking it apart? When I do cleaning cycles it even sticks then.
I've experimented with different grind levels, nothing seems to make it happy though.
I got another email but no further suggestions?
how do I remove the tamper?
