Starbucks Recent Questions, Troubleshooting Help & Support

Adjust grind 2 numbers coarser and try again.

If your Starbucks Barista Espresso Machine is leaking water every time it is turned on, it is possible that there may be a problem with the water supply system or the seals on the machine. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check the water tank and water lines for any visible signs of damage or leaks. Make sure that the water tank is properly seated and that the water lines are securely connected.
2. Check the seals on the machine, such as the gasket on the steam wand and the seals on the water pump and boiler. Make sure that these seals are properly installed and not damaged.
3. If the issue persists, it is possible that there may be a problem with the water pump or another internal component of the machine. In this case, it will likely be necessary to have a qualified technician inspect the machine to diagnose the problem and recommend the necessary repairs.

I hope this information is helpful. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there is anything else I can assist with.

Most likely is the exit chute has become clogged. I'd attempt to clean it before abandoning the machine.

notify manufacturer or using make and model search for parts -small appliance repair shop

Probably block from old dryup milk try to unblock passing a little wire to see lf its that be carefull you might have some pressure in there

the internal motor is not running .so its not making noises as usual.
servicing required

Check the paddle wheel under the lower (conical) burr. You should be able to see vertical paddles that move the ground coffee. If any are broken or missing (very common if you've used rice intead of Grindz to clean the burrs) you need a new paddle wheel, which you can buy from Baratza.

Besides going in person to a Starbucks restaurant, Starbucks web site shows the following answer: https://customerservice.starbucks.com/app/answers/list/search/1/kw/check%20giftcard%20balance/suggested/1

it is also possible that the leak came from the pump as well most likely your lines are also clogged up with fine ground coffee past the brewer which stops the water from flowing and causes excess pressure which eventually either busts a water line or makes the pump push the water out past the caseing of the machine. Very time consuming finding the leak as well as replaceing the parts that are broken. If you have any further questions message me back. Thanks Rick p.s just curious because i ask all customers dealing with coffee and expressor machines what was the grind set to when you ground your coffee?

Yes. I would like that plunger. Our top lid knob also came off. Right now, tho', it is the rubber on the plunger that is failing. Don't think we can fix that.

This is quite common for those machines. Try to not open it completely and push the pod in, until it stops falling any further. then close the lid and you should feel some back pressure while doing so. If not, then plrease bring the machine back to the retailer.

lots of coffee tips for it.

I got my machine for Christmas and I have had the same problem almost everyday. Usually wiping down the water supply area worked but not today.. I have spent the past hour and a half trying everything I read online. Finally after reading the gray thing that floats in the water tank was a magnet I decided to maybe try to "reactivate" the magnent/sensor?.? I dumped all the water out and rubbed the magnet up and down the outside of the water tank making the gray block move up and down.. I even rubbed the magnent on the black surface where the water tank goes and the gray thing-e touches when attached.. To my surprise It worked!! It may have been pure coincidence..I dont know..but I figured I'd share anyway..It's worth a try!

Sorry we do not have parts here.

Try using a bit less milk

don't think that starbucks would be sending coffee to any one in a war zone simply because the coffee would be cold before it got there But if you still really want to know then contact the head office ans ask them yourself

The only possible chance you have is to correspond with these people Home Baratza They are a supplier of parts for the model that you have, The model you have is no longer available in the USA
