  • How to fix a Nespresso Magimix Coffee Machine that leaks water into the Capsule Box every time you make a coffee. Replace genuine parts for a fraction of the cost to send the machine away.
    Nespresso were not interested in replacing my machine just a few weeks out of warranty. I had never used any other make of capsules other than genuine Nespresso ones, and they wanted €90.00 just to LOOK at it, my repair was less than €40.00 and 20 mins of my time. Simple repair that anyone can do for a very common issue.
    Optional special tool required: m.ebay.com/itm/Nespresso-Krup...

    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.

    Just to say a big thank you for this video. I followed all your advice, bought the part and the tool for the oval-head screws, and last night I successfully repaired my machine. I am very happy with myself for succeeding! The hardest part was taking the casing apart, because I was worried about using too much force and breaking something, but your advice was good - be slow and careful - and I managed it. No leaks this morning, and the coffee is better too. Thanks again

    Thanks for doing this, easy to follow and helpful. For those attempting this repair, the two parts I found to be the most tricky were getting the last section of the base to separate and removing the side panels. Just be patient and keep working around all the edges, preferably with a plastic pry tool, until all of the clips disengage.

    Thank you very much for taking the time to prepare and post this. I have a very similar machine (cosmetic differences mainly) which had been out of use for quite a while. After watching your video, I ordered the special key and the spare part. It took quite a while to gather myself and attempt this. It was tricky, as I am not used to such tasks, but after a couple of hours I managed to complete the repair! Another difficulty I had was the fact that the pump did not start working properly straight away. This might have been due to the fact that the machine stayed unused for a very long time. With repeated efforts, and while the pump was active, pulling out and replacing the water tank, I managed eventually to get it going. Thanks again.

  • @howardjennings-frisby4407

    This genuinely works, folks. Thank you, James, little tips, like "take a photo of all the connections before you go any further" were perfect. Most of the time/nervous energy was spent getting my plastic housing off, whilst ensuring I didn't snap any connectors. Cheers, Howard. (with a Nespresso Magimix 11 317 UK)

  • @keithroberts2656
    @keithroberts2656 Před 5 lety

    Thanks for the very clear demonstration. We fixed our Magimix machine. About 25GBP for the replacement part. We bought the special screwdriver from Germany for a few Euros after failing with pliers - well worth it. Great to have "proper" coffee again!

    Just wanted to say thank you James for taking the time to make this video (twice!). Have just followed along and successfully repaired my Citiz machine and stopped the leaking. Hurrah for selfless CZcams contributors and down with the corporate money grabbers. No more genuine Nespresso pods for me. It's Aldi all the way!

    I want to thank you a lot James. I had exact same issue with my (7 year old) Krups machine. Due to your video decided to give it a try and ordered the replacement part and also the screw driver. Just now replaced all with your video next to it and it worked! A full cup of coffee again and no full leakage tray. Thanks a lot for your video! 👍🏻

  • @leolui4039
    @leolui4039 Před 5 lety +4

    Excellent video James!! I just fixed mine according to your instructions and it works well again. I would have probably binned it if it wasn't for this video. Only difference with my machine was that the brewing unit was held down by torx instead of crossheads, but for the rest it was identical!!

    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.

  • @gregbarton5076
    @gregbarton5076 Před 5 lety +1

    Excellent and helpful video. The lungo button on ours had stopped working and other posts suggested it was just a matter of cleaning the inside of the rubber button. Your video gave me the confidence to open it up (some of the case clips require quite a bit of pressure). Once open the repair was simple and effective. I made a small tool to remove those damned oval-head screws following advice on another thread - used a bit of old 10mm rod and drilled a 3.2mm hole in the end then extended the hole slightly to oval by tilting the drill back and forth to about 3.5mm on the axis. That worked fine and removed them easily and cleanly.

  • @waftergaymo
    @waftergaymo Před 2 lety +1

    I came across your videos when I was researching how to fix my badly leaking Magimix M100. Although my machine was different you gave me the confidence to have a go. I bought the oval tool, £3 and a set of quality Torx screwdrivers (no Philips screws inside), £18 and followed your methodology. In fact the M100 is easier to take apart and the brew chamber has no electronics, just a plastic tube to pull off so no wires to disconnect or switches to remove. It was obvious that the end of the chamber where the filter is was full of coffee gunk, as was the spout. I cleaned both with hot water and an old toothbrush and reassembled it. Perfect, no leaks. The brew chamber, being just a plastic and metal componant is cheap at £10 if I ever need to replace it. So thanks again for putting these videos on CZcams so that I now have two Nespresso machines!

    Thank you! Works perfekt. My DeLonghi was almost ten years old. Replased the brewer, cleaned it everywhere, looks and works like a new machine. No shipping of the spare parts to germany though. They cost a little more here. So it was 60Eur including the tool and 50min of work. Feeling good now for saving about 100Eur for a new machine and doing sth for the environment... Thx

    Thank you, James! I was able to fix by myself! Took awhile to get the part with Covid, and then I had to get up the nerve to begin the repair. I made the tool to remove the screws by heating the barrel from a plastic BIC pen and pushing it on the screw to get the imprint. Thanks so much!!

    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.

  • @Greg12
    @Greg12 Před 3 lety +1

    Thanks so much, this was a huge help and I wouldn't have been able to do it without the video. We have a Citiz without the milk attachment so it was possible to do without fully removing the base and leaving the earth attached, it made it a lot easier when reassembling at the end. It also took me a while to pry the plastic spout cover off, the clips for that are at the top and the bottom if anyone else is struggling.

  • @AliBaba-rf9qk
    @AliBaba-rf9qk Před 3 lety +1

    Thanks James for the inspiration. My machine leaked on the inside and figured it was blocked somewhere causing backpressure. The pod is pressed against a "grill" on the inside of the machine. Cleaned this with a toothbrush and flushed with water. Almost did the trick. So put a garden hose on the output nozzle of the machine (not in the kitchen!) and gave it a blast. Now works perfectly. I guess the coffee grains over time block the unit. Thank you.

  • @DurkoppFordertechnic

    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!

    THANK YOU for taking the time to make this video (twice) James, I never would have attempted to fix my machine were it not for you. I bought the replacement chamber and tools and fitted it following your careful instructions, however when I re-assembled everything and tested it, the water began pumping into the machine, instead of my cup. After dis-assembling it to investigate I discovered that one of the small spring clips keeping the water tubes in position had broken!
    IF ANYONE READING THIS KNOWS IF THERE'S ANOTHER TYPE OF CLIP THAT I CAN USE INSTEAD, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR ADVICE.

      @poemsandplaypieces Před 3 lety

      Thanks. I wondered about this as I watched James' video. I thought it might be possible that it was something as simple as a worn sealing ring causing an otherwise functioning machine to leak. I'll try that first before ordering a new unit.

  • @bormil66
    @bormil66 Před 4 lety +2

    I found what was a problem for my solution and why my coffee machine still leaking. The cause was part that James talking about at 15:53 min of James clip. In my case, this part had a blockage in the tip of its nose and that was the cause of leaking. What I did, first I removed the blockage then I drilled a hole in order to remove small plastic cross at the tip of this nose to enable better coffee flow. Now I do not have leakage any more :).
    Please check this nose - remove any dirt and remove the plastic part on the tip of the nose itself (by drilling), then check is your machine still leaking if yes go further and order the part James suggesting.

    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.

  • @olli4611
    @olli4611 Před 4 lety +5

    Perfect instruction 👍 it is a typical problem with that model. It comes when you leave the used capsule in the brewing unit. Because the wet coffee swells and the capsule gets bigger. So it busts the ring of the brewing unit. To prevent this, remember to eject the capsule immediately after brewing.
    I tested many different types of capsules in the last 10 years. In the result I use only nespresso or lavazza capsules. They work best

    • @jamesroberts2907

    • @brianlaughland8960
      @brianlaughland8960 Před 4 lety

      So Olli, is that the O ring that gets burst, that some people are saying in their posts that they replace do you think? In which case is it necessary to get a whole new unit rather, than to try replacing the O ring?

    • @olli4611
      @olli4611 Před 4 lety

      @@brianlaughland8960 Hey Brian, i Don't know exactly what the o ring means. The thing that surrounds the capsule and brings it to the pyramid plate gets a hairline crack. You won't get this part single, I think.
      If you can see no hairline crack, it could be a different mistake maybe the jet, where the water hose is connected is blocked (because of using hard water). This is the mistake, when the capsule is not perforated and no coffee but only water comes.
      In this case you could try to blow the jet.
      Good luck

    Thank you so much for this video! Seems to be a relatively common problem with the Citiz recently. Disappointing since the manuf does not seem to acknowledge (at least in the US), and the 'keep descaling' advice is getting old. It is a struggle to remove those awful screws, but only took ten minutes and good needle nose pliers - not much point buying the tool since i've already thrown the screws away and will easily replace with phillips head screws. Maybe you can get the cover off without pulling the screws, but far easier if you do. Note that if your target is only the brew head, it's not necessary to completely remove the base connections to get enough access to remove the side covers. If you are in the US, the replacement brew head is harder to find - I finally found one for 44 dollars, and notice that PayPal went back to the UK so that's where it is coming from. Again, thank you James!

    Thank you for a great informative video. I followed every step while waiting 15 days for the part (Israel was out of the posting list- I ordered from Italy/ebay). Your video .
    helped a lot and the 2nd video from Aug 9th was exactly for my machine
    It is a very good feeling to fix by yourself,
    considering Nespresso attitude towards fixing problems
    Thank you and good luck to everybody
    Cheers!

      James Roberts . I’m not going to be of much help, I think it was 1 1/4inch, but cannot be certain, it was one I just happen to have left over from something. Apologies. Anyway, it’s working well so again many thanks.

    Hi,
    I want to thank you for this video. I have the exact same problem since like 2 years with my 4 year old Essenza Mini. It was always annoying enough to bug me but not enough to make me buy a new one. Tonight I said enough and tried gooling the problem. I dismounted the unit with a bit of help from you - a bit of struggle (looks somewhat different), I think I broke a plastic clip holding the button panel, but it should still be ok - and ordered the part for 46 euro. I'm fairly convinced it's still the same looking at the images. It's a shame parts are this expensive when a new unit costs 99 euro, but I decided I'll take the risk just for the heck of it, screw manufacturers, I'll gamble and if lucky it should serve me for some more time.

    Good Video, very concise, I have two of these machines one of them is in the loft which I shall now repair, the other one also ruins capsule on a regular basis I phoned Nespresso and got the stock reply to descale more often which didn't work, this one I shall also now repair. Thanks.

    • @jamesroberts2907
      @jamesroberts2907  Před 5 lety

      Eddie, Thanks. Yes, its about time Nespresso stopped taking us all for fools, the machines don't last that long for limescale to build-up!! Its a great concept, Nespresso gave us a way to enjoy nice ground coffee in many different strengths and flavours but it doesn't give them the right to treat customers like idiots. Hope you repair goes well. the toolkit I bought was this: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0189YWOIO it is quite expensive just to repair your Nespresso machine, however you can buy this: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ovalkopfbit-Ovalkopfschlussel-passend-fur-alle-Jura-Impressa-Extra-Gehartet/121562808742? Much cheaper if your not planning on using a lot of specialist tools. Im not affiliated nor paid to represent these products, just trying to make it easier for folks to get better value out of their machines.

    • @jamesroberts2907
      @jamesroberts2907  Před 6 lety

      Mike, I’m so happy it also worked for you. If you use the standard supermarket capsules the repair will pay for itself in a few months!

    • @jamesroberts2907
      @jamesroberts2907  Před 6 lety

      Great result! If you use your machine for more than 3 coffees per day the repair will pay for itself within 2 months if you use standard supermarket capsules, rather than the original Nespresso ones. Aldi capsules are pretty good and half the price. Using only Nespresso capsules didn’t make any difference when it came to a “just out of warranty” claim with Nespresso, so I now use supermarket capsules! 😃

    Thanks for your vid. I fetched mine from the basement, where it has been collecting dust and did the repair. I managed to fix it with thorough cleaning of the chamber and seals with vinegar acid and soap. We have very hard water where I live, so I'm thinking the seal was somehow clogged up with calcium.

    To remove the oval screws out on mine, I heated the end of a biro pen tube (ink cartridge removed) and pushed it onto the screw head. Because it's hot, it takes the form of the screw head and they can be unscrewed. Great if you're impacient and don't want to order the specialist version.

    Thanks very much for making the video. I got the most benefit out of pulling the coffee machine apart. It gave me the confidence to pull on the plastic a bit harder than I wanted too.
    What I wanted to say thought to help you and your viewers, is you don't have to buy that part. You were so close to fixing the entire problem without spending a cent / penny.
    The part you say not to strip... and buy another one. You are right, don't strip it, it is all to do with the lever action of the pod being put in place, except for one part... the part that the flat side of the pod pushes against. That part is the reason the water is in the bottom, because it's blocked and the water is not going through. So... take out the little grate with the flat blade screwdriver, clean it with a toothbrush, put it back into place... done. No need to buy the part, just put everything back together.
    If you still have your old ones it will be easy to see what I mean. Go to the front where the flat side of the pod goes against the coffee machine, there is a plastic grate. (You have nothing to lose, you have already bought new parts) you will see a place where you can lever it out with a small screwdriver, hold it up to the light and you will see nothing. Clean it with a toothbrush under running water on both sides, hold it up to the light... there you go... a heap of little holes. Click it back in... done.
    I made a little video for you and your viewers so you can see what I mean. One very small little extra thing, and it doesn't cost anything next time. You don't want to spend 25 Euro every two years. We have had ours for almost exactly 8 years, and we figure we would have put through 3000 coffees. however we only used filtered water, this could have made a difference.
    This is the video I made for you so you don't have to buy the part in future

      Hi Pay it Forward, you are correct, for some this may be the issue if they have not descaled their machine, I should put that in at the start of my video, "assuming you have descaled and it still leaks" This was not the issue with mine however. not to say it could be the issue with other, so great.

      @@jamesroberts2907 No worries James... just want to help out. No need to change anything you have done. What you have done is great. I merely expanded on what you said. I wouldn't have been able to get to where I got if I hadn't have watched your video. Your video gave me the courage to pull on the plastics harder. I thought I was going to break them until I found your video.
