NESPRESSO not dispensing
If your Nespresso machine is not dispensing coffee, the problem is commonly caused by an empty water tank, an airlock, a blocked outlet, a capsule that has not been recognised, or limescale restricting the water flow. Start by checking the water tank is full and correctly fitted, ensure the capsule is compatible and inserted properly, and inspect the coffee outlet for any blockages. Running a cleaning cycle and descaling the machine can often restore normal operation if scale has built up inside the water circuit. If the machine still does not dispense coffee after these checks, there may be a fault with the pump, flow system or capsule recognition mechanism that requires further diagnosis.
