Quick Tips

Quick Tips

  • Check whether the water tank emptied during the brew

    Start by checking the water level. Lavazza A Modo Mio machines can interrupt coffee delivery if the water supply runs out during brewing. On the Jolie & Milk, the selected coffee button remains illuminated while the other button flashes when this happens. Refill the tank to the MAX level before restarting the drink using the procedure for your model.

  • Restart an interrupted brew correctly for your model

    Don't assume every Lavazza restarts in the same way. On the Jolie & Milk, after refilling the tank, press the coffee button that was originally selected and the interrupted delivery procedure restarts. The A Modo Mio SMEG documentation similarly instructs the user to refill the tank and press the previously selected button following an empty-water interruption. Follow the procedure for your exact machine rather than repeatedly pressing different controls.

  • Replace the capsule if your model requires it

    An interrupted capsule shouldn't always be reused. The Deséa instructions specifically tell the user to fill the tank to MAX, replace the capsule with a new one, and restart dispensing when water runs out during delivery. The same new-capsule procedure is specified following a power interruption. If you have a different Lavazza model, check its procedure before discarding or attempting to reuse the interrupted capsule.

  • Empty and correctly refit the used-capsule drawer

    If the machine repeatedly stops or refuses to continue brewing, check the spent-capsule container. On the Jolie & Milk, rapid flashing after five deliveries indicates that the used-capsule drawer is full. Remove and empty the drawer, clean away residual liquid and reinstall it correctly before trying another drink.

  • Make sure you're not seeing the normal programmed stop

    A Lavazza stopping automatically isn't necessarily faulty. Models with programmed coffee quantities stop dispensing when the selected quantity has been delivered. If the machine consistently produces the same amount before stopping, check the selected or programmed coffee quantity before treating the behaviour as an interrupted brewing fault.

  • Investigate restricted water flow if drinks are becoming progressively shorter

    If the machine previously produced a normal drink but now slows down or stops after dispensing only a small amount, check the water-flow side of the machine. Lavazza identifies limescale as a cause of reduced water flow. If descaling is due, complete the correct procedure for your exact model. If the pump runs but flow remains severely restricted afterwards, move to the Lavazza Not Pumping Water troubleshooting route rather than repeatedly attempting to brew.

  • Why does my Lavazza stop halfway through making coffee even though it started normally?

    First check whether the water tank ran empty during the drink and note any flashing indicators. Lavazza documents interrupted delivery when the water supply is exhausted. Also check the spent-capsule drawer and whether the machine has simply reached its programmed coffee quantity. If it stops prematurely despite sufficient water and the flow has become progressively weaker, restricted water flow or overdue descaling should also be investigated.

  • Can I reuse the capsule after my Lavazza stops halfway through brewing?

    It depends on the model and reason for the interruption. Don't automatically reuse a partially brewed capsule. For the Deséa, Lavazza specifically instructs the user to replace the capsule with a new one after an empty-water or power-supply interruption before restarting delivery. Follow the instructions for your exact model.

  • Why does my Lavazza keep making shorter and shorter coffees?

    If the amount has gradually decreased rather than suddenly changing, first establish whether the programmed coffee quantity has been altered. If the setting is correct but water delivery is becoming slower or increasingly restricted, maintenance becomes more relevant. Lavazza specifically identifies limescale as a potential cause of reduced water flow, so complete the appropriate model-specific descaling procedure if it is due.
