Thanks everyone for their comments. I tried all of the non invasive suggestions and they eventually worked: shook it upside down, pumped the water tank up and down, flicked the hot water on and off 20 times, flicked it between steam and hot water multiple times, reset it multiple times. was going to give up then turned it off at the wall then tried one more reset and it worked. Bought mine for $60 as is because of the fault, but now feel I have a bargain.

Thank you sooooo much, I love you man 😅

AMAZING!!! the hot water flush worked after 3 tries. MUCH THANKS. I should pay you for this as this is a very snowy morning on the east cost U.S. and espresso is dearly needed.

thanks for the effort you put in, I managed to repair with no breakages on the tabs and diagnose and replace blocked element because of the detail in this video!!!

STOP!!!!!! I just had this problem! Just turn the steam on let it run then switch to hot water and do this about 10 times! Just keep cranking back and forth steam then water. Should push the air gap out! Fixed mine in 30 seconds. 😂😂

We managed to fix it by tipping the machine forwards and slapping it on the back a couple times to dislodge the airbubble

Great video! I used it to assist me pulling my Breville Barista Pro apart. I then checked the impeller was free spinning which it was. Noticing the tiny hole feeding into the flow meter housing I actually drilled it out slightly larger to 1.5mm. This process has fixed my machine for now, only time will tell if the larger inlet hole stops this from reoccurring.

Wow, just wow, thank you soo much, I’ve managed to make it work again!

Wow your garden needed a trim

3:10 Honey, Dear 😂😂😂 They always do that with a picture of a decent looking asian girl on their profile.

This fixed my Bambino Plus, but I'm guessing this is because it's failing to self prime which would require a replacement long term.

Nice 🎉 thank you.

My fix is to pull out the tray and sequeeze the rubber inside a few times (to make more water flow in ?) It worked twice for my machine

Fixed! Thank you.

You can remove the flow meter holder by unscrewing a single screw partly seen at the bottom left corner of the video at 2:34. Doing so will very much ease the flow meter removal and installation.

Thanks for the walkthrough, got my BBP running again - funny because my flow meter was full of water and clean. Who knows but your teardown video was VERY helpful!

This was the exact problem I was having and following this video fixed it! Thanks for making it

Wanting to know if the 18v multi tool is powerful enough? Some people say it needs 36v

Thank you so much, this worked like a charm! I didn't even break the clips :)

Great explanation, saved my machine ❤️

hello friend, please can you give me details about the repairs. with my coffee machine, you set it for a single coffee for 13 seconds, for 2 coffees I set it for 30 seconds and the water stops at 20 seconds, what could be the problem? and when grinding the grains, I set it to 13 and it doesn't grind fine, I also tried 5 but it still grinds like that

Drop the water tank up and down on to its hole several times and like mine you find it works again so no need to pull apart

Super instrukcja. Przywróciło Express do życia, dzięki.

It took more time to watch the video and fish out the tools to do the job than it took to the repair. Thank you for posting.

I love the absolutely nothing box 🎁 i got that too

My wife's machine was only running for 2-3 seconds and thought we might have had a different problem. But this worked! Definitely takes a little finessing, but i managed to get it done in about 45 minutes, having to use my wife's hands for some of the smaller parts. When I opened the flow meter, i thought it was full and was not the issue. I just topped it off and tried it anyways. Before closing the entire thing i set it all flat and plugged the unit back in. Tested it and it worked! Thank you!

Thank you my friend. I have done it and it working fine now.

To avoid breaking clips I used a butter knife to pry the clip inward gently and then pushed up the bottom of the clip with a small flat head. Opened very easy

Thanks for this! My Sage Barista Pro developed this issue after almost 3 years of use. Cleaning the water flow meter did a job!

Instruction is perfect. My machine is back. Time to enjoy a cup of coffee! Thanks for this video.

Great video. I also had to open my breville because some sesame seed found their way inside the water inlet. The counter was dirty when I put the tank on the counter to fill it and in it went. I was able also to not break the 2 tabs. I used a plastic pry tool and went at it patiently, gently and popped it out. Thanks again.

I actually want the warmer function but wish it would warm to 34 degrees to keep drinks liquid during frozen winter months. I hate dealing with ice and it takes up so much room in the cooler..but so does a giant compressor making 1/3 of this cooler not usable.

brilliant! thanks :) and I didn't even break a tab, haha

To everyone who has said to fill the tank with descaling stuff and then hammer the 2 cup button - I love you

You, sir, are a legend! Followed your instructions exactly and my machine is back to its best. Thanks!

Fixing a coffee machine before I have had my morning coffee is a level of frustration I had not experienced until today 😂 Machine fixed now enjoying the most satisfying cup in a long time.

Thanks for such an in depth video. Having followed the steps including breaking those lower clips I found no to little air in the system and a working flow meter. I am wondering weather my turning the machine to acess the screws moved the little air that was on the system. I will definitely try old mates turn it upside down and back up again without the water and coffee attached before doing this again.

Had the issue of water/coffee only running for 5 second intervals. Just did this and it worked because two of the tubes were built up with gunk.

Great. Thanka for the tutorial. I managed to remove the clips that you had mentioned without breaking them by applying pressure with a big screwdriver upon the clip and then gently working out the back cover with a smaller screw driver in the hinges

Thanks alot!! Your video helped me 👍

Solis Barista pro seems to be a bit trickier to dismantle :( but still this video has nice pointers, thank you

How do you know it's not a blocked line or something else causing the low pressure?

Thanks for doing this. This fixed my issue without needing to send the machine in for a more expensive repair.

Thanks very much for your video. I was able to fix the problem by following your steps.

The 40v is actually 36v

Money. Saved. - Turned out to be a randomsomethingwaste in the small entry of the flow meter blocking the tiny hole, guess something fell into the water tank connector while undcocked water tank and then got sucked in. So might wanna check that too if needed.

Thanks man

Purchase a Ozito to Makita battery adapter. Nice work

Fixed my issue!

Hi appreciate the detail in your video. After learning what the problem was from your video I thought I'd try getting air lock out with dismantling. Steps I used were; 1. removing drip tray, water tank, bean hopper and inner grinder. 2. Roll machine around and turn upside down while rolling around. 3. Reassemble and on second purge of hot water dial the machine kept pumping👍🏽
