No Coffee? Troubleshooting a Philips Superautomatic (Nozzle Leak)

[@jeanletourneau9642]

Went through, the whole video. I don't even own one. Still I enjoyed. Troubleshooting is a process you can learn from different products and different issues. Lots of plastic in there…

[@sagauer]

DON'T take the front off! If you look at the nozzle, carefully remove the left and right chrome parts, then take off the front nozzle part with the logo, lastly there is a little top cover that comes out, I just used a butter knife. Now you can clean the inner (box), I also used a dust spray to nuke the nozzles and any opening. It is kinda disgusting, that so much gunk accumulates in there! It is easy, but be gentle with the plastic parts. I also blew some air into the hose... guitarstring like suggested might work also.

[@HedbergHenrik]

Thanks for the tip, I managed to clean it as you described, without opening the whole machine.

[@dawidek20000]

Thanks, my coffee machine would not drip any coffee out of it after 4 years. Your tip has saved my machine.

[@1AmElectricman]

Thanks Tom, when my coffee-machine broke, I fixed it myself too 🙂. Also, this clogged coffee-outlet can be taken apart, I think you should clean it properly

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Hi there! Yes, I should probably give it a deeper clean after taking it apart. Thanks for the tip!

[@OliverLopezF]

This content is gold, thanks!! Cant wait for our machine to break just so i can open it 😂

[@SerfonteinL]

Thanks Tom, I really enjoyed watching this video. Well done Tom.

[@Schiksie]

Very nice :-) found out my coffee outlet on the grinder broke off completely 😁. Used your video to take it apart!!

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Glad I could help!

[@Schiksie]

@@TomsCoffeeCorner yes but the problem remains so thats very strange. So I replaced the broken coffee inlet on the grinder. I can make 1 cup off coffee without any problem but than on the second cup ( after the grind , that all seems to be fine) a loud ticking noise will come from the machine. Strange thing is that when I use the pre-grinded coffee option it's working fine. So only at the second cup when using normal beans it will start ticking like crazy and no coffee comes out. I even tried a whole new brewing unit and same problem....also on the second cup the loud noise like someone is shooting a gun 😁😁. So it's not the grinder, it's not the brewing unit.....I have no clue.

[@tiagomoura9666]

thanks for the video. In my case, the hose that leads to the nozzle had come off, I had to disassemble the machine to fix it, but it worked 100%.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Glad it helped!

[@DeeKym]

Great video!

[@tomasl6675]

#fixit Great video, thanks for showing the insides of the machine! I just bought a 2200, works like a charm!

[@felipeclemente]

I'll try this solution on mine. Thanks for the video

[@s96822]

trick to clean small lumens. acoustic guitar strings. the 3 thickest strings are very good at cleaning and dislodging debris and minerals. these strings resemble the guide wires used for vascular catheter introduction (but cost much less). you can bend the end a little so it rubs in the lumen. these strings are akin to a mini roto rooter.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Good tip! I’ll have to try that.

[@coreyluffler7797]

Thank you so much! I’m having the exact same issue. Got my project and video for this weekend. #fixit. Do you think there could’ve been and easier way to just get to the nozzle if you thought that was where the issue was? I know and appreciate you took the whole thing a part to troubleshoot but could I short cut the process of taking a part the whole machine if it’s the same issue? Thanks in advance for any tips and super helpful video. Great job!

[@dgomes265]

Interesting that despite the machine purging water through the sprout at start up and shut down, the nozzles got plugged. What could have possibly clogged the nozzles Maybe a cleaning with the cleaning fluid ahead of scheduled every 5th filter replacement may have helped.

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Yeah, I don't know. It was working fine, and then I descaled it. Maybe I dislodged something in the lines while descaling.

[@MAn-mt2mg]

I'm glad you #Fixit 🎉

[@robertcercel]

Nice work!

[@tuntematon82]

I dismantled that front nossle without taking facia out. It's mostly decorative and there is box where coffee comes in and drips out either side. That box fills up with dry out coffee as machine does not let enaugh water through as it cleans out when shutting off. So no need to open complete machne for that.

[@tuntematon82]

Also, silicone hose that comes under water pump wears as it rubs against internal wall and starts to leak. Machine makes HUGE noise as pump does not have back pressure because of leak.

[@goran.subotic]

You have some instructions for dismantling front nossles? Thx.

[@tuntematon82]

@@goran.subotic it is a puzzle, but decorative parts just unclip out and then you can wash bowl where coffee comes as it still is attached to machine. Easy job, just go for it.

[@goran.subotic]

@@tuntematon82 I'm gonna break it so bad 😂 but thank you 🙏

[@goran.subotic]

@@tuntematon82 btw. What should I unclip first, top or front part? Thx It seems very hard to unclip or I'm doing something wrong.

[@lcanelas87]

Thank you very much for the video. Do you have any videos replacing ceramics to grind coffee?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

@@lcanelas87 No, not at this point. I think there might be some other good videos about that, however on KZbin. Good luck!

[@lcanelas87]

@@TomsCoffeeCorner thank you very much..today I found one video and it's very simple 😅

[@christianc5122]

Hi Tom great video as always! Was wondering if you could review the Illy ground espresso Maschine. Seems like a pretty decent espresso Maschine but no one really reviewed it properly on YT. Would love to hear your thoughts!

[@roland8775]

I feel like you've opened up so many of these things, you probably know how to build them from scratch lol (Tom's Coffee Machines?)

[@scm4375]

How often does this problem appear in Philips 3200 machine? Do you know cecotec Cremmaet Compact Steam? If so, what opinion do you have about showing up problems? Thank you so much

[@pensforgts]

well done

[@SimonAZ]

Do you think it is a design flaw that you cannot take the nozzle off more easy to clean it now and then?

[@HomesteadAce]

Its more like by design; this is an appliance and not a machine. Ironically I know acquaintances who bought proper "coffee machines" only to go buy a new machine when it breaks. In their case the coffee machine came with a grinder built in but when it broke, rather than fixing it, they went and bought a standalone one.

[@DaporotiYat]

how long after use does this problem happen?

[@sariaiesh1124]

Hallo tom's ,please Can you do a review of a coffee machine (Cecotec Espressomaschine Barista Power Espresso 20 Barista Mini) thanks

[@LoganScottY]

Hey could you help me understand why my Barista Touch Impress isn't pouring evenly on each side of the portafilter spouts. I really want to enjoy a single shot espresso but I'm aware that using the single basket won't be as good an idea. Should I just look at how one of the spouts pours out and just go with the cup that has more in it or should I change something?

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

Have you checked your machine for level? Also, how’s your distribution and pick prep?

[@LoganScottY]

@@TomsCoffeeCorner Well I like to shake the portafilter a bit before using the assisted tamping. Should I not bother shaking it? Should I just tamp immediately after grinding? and I believe my machine is level. I'll need to double check

[@TomsCoffeeCorner]

@@LoganScottY Ah yes, the Impress system. I guess you don’t have a lot of room for puck prep, unless you use the Breville funnel and WDT, then remove the funnel and then tamp. But I would check to see if your machine is level first.

[@kellydavis3108]

My next machine will definitely be a 3 way solenoid device.
