Whether it’s a minor blockage or a more complex mechanical issue, we’ll explore all the potential reasons why coffee may not be flowing from your machine.
Common Causes and Solutions
1. Water Reservoir Empty
Check if the water reservoir is filled to the appropriate level. If it’s empty, refill it with fresh, cold water.
2. Clogged Outlet Nozzle
The outlet nozzle where coffee dispenses can become clogged with coffee grounds or mineral deposits. Use a soft brush or toothpick to gently remove any obstructions.
3. Blocked Water Filter
If your Miele coffee machine uses a water filter, it may need to be replaced. A clogged filter can restrict water flow and prevent coffee from brewing.
4. Defective Water Pump
The water pump is responsible for pumping water through the machine. If it’s faulty, water may not be able to reach the brewing unit.
5. Air Lock in Water Lines
Air locks can form in the water lines, preventing water from flowing freely. Run a cleaning cycle with a descaling agent to remove any air bubbles.
6. Faulty Brewing Unit
The brewing unit is the heart of the coffee machine. If it’s damaged or malfunctioning, it may not be able to extract coffee from the grounds.
7. Scale Buildup
Mineral deposits from hard water can accumulate inside the machine, causing blockages and affecting performance. Regular descaling is essential to prevent scale buildup.
Troubleshooting Steps
1. Check the water reservoir.
2. Clean the outlet nozzle.
3. Replace the water filter (if applicable).
4. Run a cleaning cycle with descaling agent.
5. Contact Miele support if the issue persists.
