I found that the cleaning disk puts through the correct amount of water but coffee disks don't. Suspect then that the problem is related to the pressure or flow from the system when disks are in , or the cutter part. I have now bought a new machine. I can swap this part across and check to see if this issue with non delivery of correct quantity of water its related to the suggested worn cutter.

    Most of the problems related to pumping the correct amount of water are related to the pressure relief valve stuck open. Clean it and your machine will work like new

    There is a quick fix to this problem. There is a pressure relief valve located at the bottom of the heater which allows water to go back to the water tank if pressure gets to be too high. Especially after descaling, loose debris can get stuck in the valve leaving it open so water from the pump go right back to the water tank. How to fix: remove the left gray panel (when you looking at the front of the machine). To remove you need to insert screw drivers between the panel and the body, lift the panel and push the panel towards the back of the machine. Once you popped the panel off, look at the bottom of the heater and locate the tube going back to the water tank. Using a needle-nose plier, grab the valve at the bottom of the heater (where the tube is connected) and turn it about 30 degrees clock wise and gently pull. The cover of the valve will come off and you will see a spring pushing agents the valve. Pull the spring and the valve out, clean the debris and reinstall. You can try using the machine with the panel off to make sure you got all the dirt out of it. The machine will work like new.

    i had it in the shed but skipped it yesterday, too late to fix it now, thanks anyway, i'll know this trick next time. i just never descale the new one and its been great, we don't have hard water here , the descaling light is triggered on a time basis i believe and not related to any realscale detection. i believe the descale is what causes the issue in the first place.

SOURCE: tassimo squirts out coffee and choclate

Sounds like you have descaled machine but forgot to replace or replace cutter disc correctly. The other possible problem is that the cutter is worn and needs replacing.

SOURCE: bosch tassimo

Solution: Just refill the water tank with water (no descaling solution) all the way to the "Max Line". Then run the full descaling program again --takes approx. 20 minutes. After the program runs completely you will get the yellow "standby" light on and the red "descaling" light will be off.

Next time you descale, be sure and fill your water tank to the "Max Line" before running the descaling program.
Hint: An incomplete cycle (not full tank) is what makes the red light stay on. In other words, it's staying red to tell you to run a full cycle (beginning with the water tank filled to the "Max Line"). Hope this tip is helpful!

SOURCE: red de scaling light won't shut off

Removing the red descaling light is simple.
1. Fill reservoir with half vinegar and half water (no need for the special descaling product from Tassimo).
2. Turn on machine.
3. Insert yellow cleaning disc found in back of machine.
4. This is where most people have the their problem...You must hold the start button for 3 to 5 seconds for the descaling program to start. Both green and red light will flash.
5. Once started, use a large cup to catch the output of water.
6. The machine will cycle through the descaling program in about 30 to 45 minutes. Be paitent!!!
7. Once completed, run many cups of plain water through the system to remove the vinegar taste.
8. Red light problem is solved.

Hope this works for you.

SOURCE: has anyone used vinegar to descale their tassimo

Never use vinegar to descale esrpresso machines since will destroy the copper parts in long terms. Vinegar is used onle on plastics and st. steel. Try to use special descaling powder which you can find online in ebay maybe

SOURCE: can i use a cheaper descaler solution

You can use any citric acid based descaling product.

Do NOT use vinegar (acetic acid) based products on the Bosch machines as this can damage the aluminium in the heater block.

Hello, Angie -

Thank you for the information on the make and model of your coffee maker.

I believe I found the user manual for your Bosch Tassimo Joy coffee maker. In case you do not have the manual, this is the link to it (PDF format - Adobe Acrobat Reader software needed - free):

The English language instructions start on page 18 of the manual. The Troubleshooting section starts on page 31.

Your problem may be the second one listed in the Troubleshooting section:
(Quote)

Machine brews but no drink dispensed

How much bicarb of soda do i use to descale my bosch tassimo

Sodium bicarbonate is not a descaling product. It makes a nice minimally abrasive cleaning agent when mixed as a paste. Sodium ions will exchange with calcium in a water softener when the calcium is dissolved in water. Once the calcium salt (calcium carbonate) forms, it doesn't go back into solution in a neutral or basic environment. A bicarbonate solution will be basic.

Descaling requires an acid. The Tassimo products say "Do not use vinegar" (acetic acid). I suspect they use citric acid in their descaling product. You can try the lemon-flavored Kool-aid (the version packaged in the envelopes that needs a sweetener added when it's a drink). Mix 1 tablespoon of the powder in 1 pint of water. However, you'll need to make more than a pint of the solution since you need 500 ml of liquid per cleaning cycle. (1 pint is ~473 ml.)

I hope this helps.

Tassimo red light stays on ran descaling disc twice

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.

Braun Tassimo 3107 or 3701

Yessir, you need a t-disc to use it, because the machine reads the bar code that is imprinted on the aluminum lid of the t-disc to get instructions of how hot the water should be, and how much water should be used for the beverage you're qnting to prepare. no t-disc, no drink, no working machine. it's that simple.
