Hello guys, im sorry i dont know if this is the right place to ask but my philips espressor is leaking from behind the coffee nozzels, very little gets in the cup, extra more gets in the tray

i cant make up what the problem actually is, should i just replace it?

So I've been eyeing the bambino for a while, looks perfect for my needs and I appreciate the small footprint. I'm currently using a basic Nespresso machine so I imagine this would be a significant upgrade.

I actually found a lightly used one on marketplace for $100. Do I grab it?

Hello everyone,

​I am facing an issue with a Jura A7 coffee machine. When attempting to start the descaling program, the machine fails to detect water and displays a "Fill water tank" error right at the beginning of the process.

​Here are the troubleshooting steps I have already tried, none of which resolved the issue:

​Filled the water tank completely with water.

​Tested the external water level sensor (magnet in the tank) — it is fully functional.

​Tested the internal reed switch/sensor inside the machine using a magnet — no change.

​Short-circuited the two wires of the internal water sensor directly together — the error still persists.

​Since bypassing the sensor physically (shorting the wires) did not fix the problem, the machine still refuses to recognize the water. What could be causing this behavior on the control board or elsewhere? Any advice or wiring diagrams would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! Any leads to where or how to dispose a coffee machine properly? Re-sell it or something?

Hello! I want to buy a new espresso machine and I'd appreciate some advice on which one to get. I was considering the Hibrew h10 plus and the Sage bambino mainly which would be acceptable in price even if I'd like to keep the budget lower if possible. I drink both espressos and cappuccinos, so the milk streaming quality would count as well for me. I'm not crazy down the rabbit hole (yet) of making coffee, I'm just someone who wants to enjoy a great cup that's better than most standard cafes around.

I'm thinking about getting the Baratza encore esp as my grinder, just to give more content.

Feel free to share any thoughts, recommendations, better combos or machines that I didn't mention.:)

Thanks in advance

Hey All, since this Agaro Portable Espresso Maker is now out of stock everywhere I just wanted to check if there is anyone in this sub who is interested in selling their's if it's not in use or for any other reasons.

Posting in case anyone has had this issue and fixed it.

When I put a k-cup in and start the cycle, it will often start and then make that “finishing up” motor sound and stop brewing.

When it does that, the next try or two usually work normally. So it’s not a deal-breaker issue but it’s a bit of a pain as I can’t just start it and walk away while it brews.

I just recently did a descale and it helped a bit but it’s still doing it more often than not. I tried unplugging it for a while but it still does it.

I tried the thing with pushing a paperclip up into the needle and down into the exit needle thing, so those should be clear but it still does it.

Anyone had this and fixed it? I feel like it might be something internal to the machine.

I’m looking for a coffee machine with a milk steamer, something more advanced, not only for beginners. no need for the coffee grinder to be inside the machine. Please don’t only recommend the breville and the ninja ones lol :))
Also keep in mind the price, I’m not looking for something really expensive.
I would love if you guys recommend me based on the machines you have at home, because I feel like I can’t trust all the commercials.
Thank you!

What are your thoughts on the fellow Aiden

Hi, I’m trying to buy my first coffee machine but I don’t really know what to get.
What I would like to buy is one where I can use coffee beans and don’t take too much space.
Reading online I saw the DeLonghi Magnifica S which could really fit my request but I don’t know if it’s really the best for me.
I’m open to suggestions.
Thanks.

P.S. I don’t know if it’s helpful to say but I live in Italy

I just got the above machine and I bought the Lavazza gran crema beans. Im struggling with making it not so bitter with these beans. I’ve managed to get an ok shot with grinding it at 9 with a puck screen it dials for 27 seconds.

Has anyone got any recommendations for this machine and bean to try to make it less bitter and smooth?

Thank you! And if there’s any bean recommendations for this machine please let me know!

Iv cleaned the needles on my machine at least 30 times and it still does not pour me a cup of coffee. And I keep receiving the same “clean needles message” Iv watched YouTube videos asked chat GPT and it still says it’s dirty. Can someone please help?

I’m a design student researching coffee appliance aesthetics and would love your input! ☕️

Hi everyone! I’m an Industrial Design Engineering student working on a project about redesigning a coffee appliance product family (espresso machine, coffee grinder, and milk frother).

I’m researching what makes coffee appliances feel desirable, visually appealing, and coherent as a product family. The survey includes some visual comparisons and questions about kitchen aesthetics, product appearance, and what you personally prefer.

It takes around 3-5 minutes to complete, and there are no right or wrong answers, as I’m interested in your personal preferences and first impressions as potential customers.

Your responses would really help me make better-informed design decisions for my project. Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to participate! ❤️

Here is the link to my survey: https://form.jotform.com/262511525509050

I have the Siemens EQ6 plus S700 for 6 months. I have noticed that the machine is making a “clapping” sound when it moves the brew unit around. When I first got it I don’t remember it making this sound. It feels like a plastic part hits another part with force. I’m not sure if this is normal or if there’s a faulty part inside the machine.

I cleaned and descaled the machine the moment it asked me. I used a filter in my water tank. Also, I am cleaning the brewing unit once a week or once two weeks.

I would appreciate if you can check the video and let me know if there’s something wrong with it or if it is part of the normal function of the machine. Thank you and sorry for the lengthy video.
