Espresso part not working, even without coffee. Not building enough pressure?
Question edited for funky spelling of Iv'e rather than I've a contraction of 'I have', the apostrophe replaces the letters 'ha'.
By your own diagnostics the nozzle itself is blocked. Look inside for a filter matrix that gives the 'Crema'.
Although you don't mention make and model (all questions need that), typically these machines need dealer service every 12 to 18 months in a home setting. Of course they don't tell you this when you buy them. In a commercial setting, my coffee machines were serviced in house every month. One machine did a thousand cups a day!
Coffee beans grind but water comes out clear. No coffee.
When a grinder is jammed, generally the motor won't be able to spin the burrs to grind the beans. This can happen for a couple of reasons: coffee oils and debris can easily build up in the burrs if they have been left to collect over time.
I have a message: Empty the drip tray, but when I empty it, i still get the same message and the machine will not respond to any arrow inputs, so, I can't make any drinks
I have never had seen this problem ... however assuming the tray contacts are not shorted in any way ... its likely to be a problem with contacts in rear of the tray cavity. I would check the following;
1. Remove drip tray and shine a torch into the tray cavity to inspect the receiving contacts that accept the tray contacts. Perhaps theses contacts are shorted in some way.
2. The next step is to open up machine, but you need to be suitably experienced with electrical appliances to perform this step. Disconnect the power at the outlet (or if this is not accessible than at the fuse box). Remove the machine from the cavity and remove the rear panels (making note of which screws go where). Locate the wires that terminate on the contacts on the rear side of tray cavity. Disconnect the wires from these contacts. Replace panels and then reapply power to unit. If this solves your problem .. then there must be a short on the contacts in rear of tray cavity. If this does not solve the problem then trace this wire back to control board and remove wire at the control board. Again replace panels. If this solves problem then there must be a fault in the wire which can be fixed/replaced.. If this does not solve the problem then it would appear to be a problem with control board and best to call Miele.
Please come back if you need more help and also once you solve the problem .. to explain what went wrong. regards
How to clean coffee stains on white coffee maker
Plastic can absorb Stains, so you will need to use some kind of bleaching poduct.
some products you can try individually:
- Baking soda
- Bleach
- Water
- Vinegar
- Rubbing alcohol
Dilute with luke warm water , except for Rubbing Alcohol
Use some kind of tray which you don't mind if it gets bleach stains to protect your countertop. put the device on the tray.
If you can't soak an item, try disconnecting the device, then wrapping a lightly soaked hand towel or paper towel over the area that is discolored
Rinse with luke warm water, and make sure device has completely dried before reconnecting.
