This worked well for me! Love your explanation thank you so much

Thank you for the videos

Brilliant video James Many thanks for taking the trouble to put this up. Its like having a new machine

THANK YOU VERY MUCH I HAVE A WORKING M190

James, thank you so much for taking the trouble to post this, albeit yrs ago 😊. Perfect fly through of this repair and i’m now a hero to my wife…for how long i can’t say!

Thank you so much for your helpful video. I would have never succeeded without it!

thanks ! you save my life ;-)

to save having to take the base plate off,get to the stage where james is at 3.30 mins with the edges unclipped. lie the unit on its side and bend the base away from the side cover,with a flat prising tool[cutlery knife will do]the center clips will release. repeat for the other side. only takes a few minutes to get to the brewing cartridge with no special tools needed. my one had an insect partially blocking the outlet😝 causing a leak coffee tasted better with insect in🤣

My Magimix machine leaked too, result was more coffee/water? in the capsule container than in a cup. It was caused by blocked holes in the disk that's in front of the capsule, it has 25 very small canals and 9 were blocked and others might be blocked partly. Thorough cleaning was difficult without dismanteling the machine. I managed too open the machine,i managed to unscrew 2 screws,2 others were released with force without damaging the plastic wings of the machine on the outside, on the inside there was damage but not visible at all when the machine's closed. The disk could be released and cleaned,after cleaning in hot vinegar using a nailbrush all 25 canals were open again and the machine never leaked since then. Assume the pressure is too high for 15 open holes and some partly closed ones so the coffee and water search for a way out and found it ending up in the capsule container..... The exotic oval screws are the biggest problem to solve the problem that can be solved so easily. If you look at te oval screws you might think they aren't screws,they look like pop rivets.

Thanks a lot

Our old Kurig coffee maker quit after about 10 years. This new one has several upgrades like not being “on” 24 hrs a day. I like that it turns off after an hour no or so. Works great.

Dear James, thanks for this really helpful video! I fixed the leaking problem by replacing the brewing unit. Nice fix for only 40 euro's.

thanks a lot

Firstly, what a wonderful video - both precise and easy to follow and, more important, leads to a successful outcome, as it once again works perfectly. There are only a couple of things I would add. Firstly, I think James was very unlucky with his machine ,as I've had mine a number of years before the "water tray" problem ocurred. Because mine was older than James' machine, I gave my Magimix Nespresso a really good clean whilst it was in parts and before I re-assembled it. I did take James' advice and I bought the oval screwdriver as this made unscrewing the base very easy, other than the comment about having the last corner of the base "difficult" to separate. But it does come off. The only thing which might catch somebody out was that the old M190 brew unit (the bit that needed replacing) was attached to the unit with four T10 torx screws - and you got it, I didn't this size screwdriver! So, having purchased one, problem solved. Overall, a successful replacement following a perfect demonstration on how to do it. Thanks Paul. Peter McCaffrey

I had a go at taking the brew unit apart and it seems easier than what you have already done to get to the brew unit. Less chance of snapping plastic tabs and easy to put back together. I only found one D-Ring seal... DRings are tricky to find 'off the shelf'. I tried BS125 2.62mm Section 33mm Bore EPDM Rubber O-Rings which seems a little small but seems to have fixed the leak for now. So, if you got this far, I recommend trying just replacing the seal. Maybe try a very slightly bigger one. I don't know how long this fix will last...

Your video was of a great help. I just had to clean the whole brewery part. When it starts dripping again I will replace it. Greetings from Belgium!

👏🏾👏🏾great. Used it again for getting out spare parts.❤

Where did you get the brew unit from please?

Thank you so much for posting this video, it has been amazing. I have dismantled my 11 year old Nespresso Milk Citiz machine (and without the oval screw, screwdriver and pliers, used a credit card and a butter knife😂as my screwdrivers were too thick- must update my tool box). I’ve now ordered a new unit from Magzimix and I’ll come back to your video for reassembly. You explain everything so thoroughly, and your video gave me confidence to tackle this project, even with weak hands (used my husbands hands for pulling the case off, it was a cringe worthy moment, but successful). Thankfully I have a spare machine, whilst I await for the £30.00 (plus £5.00 48 hr delivery) part to arrive. It’s really annoying your machine’s brew unit gave up after only 2 years😮, and Nespresso wouldn’t honour a free diagnostic. Once my machines have both given up and no longer repairable, I’m considering getting a bean to cup machine as Nespresso’s capsules have escalated in cost, and their customer service has gone down. Thanks once again James for your time and knowledge share.

Oh my gosh thank you so much for your vid. My old machine was a wedding present for our garden studio, and sentimentally I didn’t want to replace the machine as one of the couple who brought it for us has passed away. I now feel confident I can replace brew the unit myself 🎉🎉 . The joy of emptying my capsule drip tray every 4 capsules was wearing me down😂!!

this is Super helpful! I ordered the part, wish me well!

Thanks, James for this beautifully clear video. Saved my machine from the bin!

Great video!!

Great video, thanks for sharing. So pleased to be able to fix the machine myself

Many thanks for your tutorial on this repair. As others have said, put up with the machine leaking underneath for ages. Purchased the brewing chamber and oval bit. The plastic sides on my machine broke a little bit on the top clips but but it all went back together OK. Thanks again.

I cannot thank you enough. That went perfectly, and you have saved Christmas. 🙏🏽

Thank you for doing this video James, it was a real help. Here in AUS, the manufacturer wanted AU$240 up front just to get them to take a look at it! With the info you put in this this video, and the special tool to remove the elliptical headed screws on the bottom and a replacement coffee difuser (?) - the part that was leaking, I was finished in under an hour and cost less than $100. Great work James, much appreciated. Two thumbs up!

Thanks for this video! Great instructions! I definitely recommend spending the money on the oval tool.

Hi i have a nespresso c120 same as the video as u.. When i try turning on everything when well but after i start to press for the coffee mode and after the hot water came out the whole power trip

You should use other makes of capsules, Nestle are without doubt one of the worst, least ethical companies on the planet. Any opportunity to not give them money should be taken

Is it not possible to repair the faulty part? Is the original part actually broken?

Hello James, thank you for this video was very helpful. I have a question however with the water feed and return hoses. The smaller of the 2 hoses had come off from inside the main body before I had it apart and now can not see where it connects inside the main body. That’s the only thing stopping me from putting it all back together. Thank you if you do manage to reply

Thank you. This is a brilliant video. I don’t have the ability/know-how/wish to repair my leaking machine, but great to see how it works and how it’s put together. I will look at more of your sides.

Thank you very much! Couldn’t work out how to take the cover odd. It is so evil to have those really subtle oval screws. Cynically designed to stop us repairing the machines and forcing us to use their expensive repair service or buy a new one. Saw another video suggesting that it usually is the percolation plate so hopefully when I eventually get it open I will be able to unblock the holes.

Thanks. <the two sides may be opened, relatively easily, starting from the top

James, this is fantastic. I've been able to fix our coffee machine for less than £40 instead of paying £250 to replace it. You have distilled the dream of the internet as a medium for sharing information in a single, simple video. Thanks so much. I'll also try the tip of washing & cleaning our old part as a backup.

Really helpful video, thank you. My machine is a Nespresso Essenza but the principles apply to lots of 'original' machines. In my case I also followed another video that complements this one very well and I replaced a rubber O ring inside the brewing chamber. That fixed my problem - I did have hot water coming out from beneath the lever, but no more. Thanks again.

Save yourself the hassle! If you have a water flosser use it and spray it up the nozzle where the coffee comes out. It just get rid of so much black gunk!! Let me know if it works for you!

Thank you James, your video is very helpful, My machine has the same issue, Nespresso citiz which is almost identical to your machine. Much appreciated.

Hi. What part is that you have bought fro his repair, and what is it called? thanks

Great video, thanks for taking the time to share your experience.

Thank you so much for making this video, my machine is identical to the one in your video. My machine started to leak last year but become really bad recently, I stripped it down yesterday to find one plastic tubes had come off, I put it back together and it now work’s fine

Where do I get that fab tool ?? Great job I hope I can fix mine 👍🤞

Thank you! I have the exact same model, with the same problem. Got the spare part via your link, the tool from eBay and got it up and running again within an hour. Brilliant video!

It's completely fucked . Chuck it.

Any Idea why Innisia leaking from the bottom (cold water), only when machine running? Surely not the water tank.

Thanks a lot, really helpful!

Next time I see you, I'll force you to have some beer with me. Just to say "thank you" for saving me £150 on a new machine! Cheers.

Great help put the whole thing back together with enormous care. but, no water getting through, water in the tank and pump working. Any ideas?

Absolutely fantastic! I’ve been tearing my hair out for ages trying to figure out how to fix this issue. I followed your instructions and everything is working perfectly. Thank you so much for posting this.
