NESPRESSO leaking water
If your Nespresso machine is leaking water, the cause is often a poorly seated water tank, a worn seal, a blocked capsule chamber, or limescale affecting the internal water circuit. Check that the water tank is correctly fitted and free from cracks, empty and clean the capsule container and drip tray, and inspect the capsule area for coffee residue that could prevent a proper seal. Running a cleaning cycle followed by descaling can help remove blockages caused by scale. If water continues to leak from underneath the machine or around the brew head after these checks, an internal seal, hose or connector may require repair or replacement.
