Descaled and cleaned but still not getting a full cup !!

The problem is because Tassimo water tanks have a floating magnet in them which operates the water level switch inside the body. The magnet gets weak over time. Replacement tanks cost too much to be worth the cost. The simple answer is to stick a fridge magnet on the back of the unit (just above the power switch) using blue tack or similar (you can experiment to find the right position). Our unit has been working fine like this for a few years now. :-)

repair services know how to fix them

Be sure the bar code is clean and the reader screen it rests on is clean as well. I found if the coffee maker leaked some coffee or milk within the unit it sometimes covered the bar code or reader and prevented the machine from reading the code.

Check to e if the magnet in the reservoir is moving up & down if not then try to place a magent on the back of the machine

clean the optical sensor that reads the barcode with a non abrasive cleaner. Mine needs to be "wet" before reading the bar code as well as the plastic of the sensor seems to be permanently cloudy. Horrible as it sounds i lick my finger, wipe the sensor and then close the lid. Usually works!

After many months, I solved the problem of the red light staying on the Tassimo Coffee Maker. Use these easy steps.
1. Fill a 2 cup measuring cup with hot water.
2. Mix in descaler.
3. Pour in the empty water tank.
4. Put the yellow cleaning disk in the chamber and close chamber. Put the two cup measuring cup under the spout.
5. Push and hold the brew button for about 3 seconds (until the red and green light flash.
6. Now don't touch the machine. It will do it's thing for about 20 minutes. (Don't be impatient and start to push buttons, just leave it)
7. When it finishes it's cycle. The red light will turn off. Then clean the water tank and put fresh water and run clean water through the brewing cycle 4 times. Your machine is now ready for use.

Use what the brand recommend.
You are only asking for trouble if not.
Believe me.
This is part of my daily work.

Descale!

Before you attempt to dismantle the Bosch Tassimo, you need to determine how/where it is leaking. (1) Before making a drink with the unit remove the cup tray and ensure the bottom where it fits is dry. Replace the drink tray (2) Make a drink or use the cleaning disk, put a cup under as normal and start the cycle. (3) After the drink is made or a clean cycle remove the bottom cup tray and see if the bottom where it fits is wet.
If it's wet you have two (2) problems
(1) The pressure valve on the top of the heater is staying open, usually due to using water that has lots of calcium in it. (2) The pipe that leads from this pipe to the bottom tray is leaking (it's not a good fit in any of these machines, and causes water to drip from underneath.
Don't take it apart yet! Buy some de-scaler from AP-Wagner.com and run this a few times, it should clear it. If it doesn't you have no choice but to open the thing.
If you have the model with a filter use it and change it when it tells you. If you don't have a built in filter, don't use water directly from the tap, run water through a Brita filter or similar
If the bottom tray doesn't get wet, take it apart to see where it's leaking. 99.99999999999999% of the time it the valve.

So how to take the thing apart.
(1) The sides (silver or black) slide to the rear. However, you have to put something in the back between the side and the rear cover to pry them apart while pushing to the rear. It's very difficult. I use a 6" steel ruler. You have to bend the sides to overcome the catches that hold them in place. You'll see a small rectangular slot at the back of each side. They will come off eventually.
(2) Once off you'll have to remove the lid where you put the disc in. Remove the 4 screws under the lid deck. (3) Remove the water pipe screws (2) and the bar code scanner screws (2). Be careful of the barcode scanner the cable is very, very delicate (I always unplug it from the circuit board and remove it completely, lift the black tabs at either side of the cable). Lift of the lid assembly. (3a) Remove the screw from the underneath the unit at the back, this allows the front to move out. (4) At each corner of the top carefully pry the locking mechanisms until the top is free. Remove the pink (thick) pipe and the pink (thin) pipe and turn the top around out of the way of the heater unit. A coiled steel spring will drop out, it's easy to replace when the top is back on. (5) Where the thin pink pipe goes to is a back pressure release valve carefully pry the clips apart and remove. Take out the rubber O-ring and the valve. Carefully remove any calcified deposits from under the rubber (blue) valve. (6) Reassemble valve (7) Reassemble top, and lid taking care with the bar code reader. (8) Test before replacing the sides
The thick pink pipe that descends from the top, that you removed earlier goes to the bottom tray, you will notice it is very loose (they all are) and it leaks. Put a tie wrap around it to seal it.
Good luck, it's not an easy fix, they were never meant to be taken apart to be repaired - not very ECO friendly. Let your MP/Congressman know, these should end up in a landfill because of 50 cent valve, and they don't come apart.

My bosh coffee machine heats the milk the coffee comes through but the water doesn’t this pours out all over the worktop.

Hi how to open Plastic side of Bosch coffee machine tas4503gb/ 02

Great question! When it comes to filtering water it's always the best option to gather such information before buying any filters. The water filter will provide healthy water which protects the body from disease. Even more, Water filters greatly reduce the risk of rectal cancer, colon cancer, and bladder cancer by removing chlorine and chlorine byproducts from drinking water. So I suggest, If you want to stay healthy then you should buy the water filter from the most reliable company. & The best choice of pure Alkaline water Ionizer is Alkaviva. You can find a variety of water filters. Alkaviva is the best water ionizer company which manufactures reliable & excellent water Ionizers. Water Ionizers USA Made Filters and Hydrogen Generators

Common problem with them. They are having issues with the lids locking and not unlocking. They suggest you call 1-877-834-7271 customer service. They've been having people return them.
