The most common elements that may leak are the water tank and the boiler where the water passes through to heat it. And how do I find out if any of these elements are damaged? This way, you will detect any water leakage at once. What do I do if I have already detected the element that is leaking?
Well, most of the time, it will be a break or crack, so you will have to replace it with a new component at your nearest spare parts store or service centre. If you are a handyman, you can try to weld them yourself using a specialized glue or cold welding , but we recommend that you change the entire component. In the long run, it is much more practical and also more economical.
Another possibility is that it is just a sleeve or connection that has come loose, but no component is damaged. In this case, it is sufficient to reset the free element to its initial position manually. For example, the tube that drains off excess water into the drip tray may become loose. Or the water tank may not be properly connected to the brewer. On espresso machines and even on capsule machines, the water in the drip tray may overflow and then comes out from the bottom of the coffee machine.
It is less frequent and is because we have forgotten to empty and clean the drip tray as often as necessary. It is another problem unique to espresso machines. It occurs when water comes out of the edges of the ladle or filter where we have served the ground coffee. This water will escape in small quantities, little by little, and you will notice how small drops are slipping along the handle of the filter holder.
Long-term solution : prepare your coffees in manual mode renouncing the automatic mode , although, of course, this way you take all the fun out of this brand of coffee maker. It is one of the most unpleasant problems that can happen to you with a Tassimo coffee machine, although fortunately, it is not too frequent. And we say this because the consequence is that, after hearing a dry blow — the capsule breaking — the coffee and the water being injected are thrown all around the capsule holder.
The good news is that this problem of the Tassimo capsule exploding inside the machine has nothing to do with a fault in your Tassimo coffee machine but with a leak in the T-Disc. At some point, the Tassimo capsule loses its vacuum, and the most frequent causes of this are usually a poorly sealed label, a hole or scratch on the lid, transport or careless handling. It has no other solution than to be prevented and try to detect the defective T-Disc -without vacuum- before introducing it into the coffee machine.
Once this routine check has been made, if the light on your Tassimo brewer continues to flash to indicate that it is not detecting water, try the following:. The water tank has a meter a kind of black plastic cap, which floats on the water that is used by the coffee maker to detect whether it is full or empty.
In this case, all you have to do is move the gauge by hand — or with a tool that allows you to access it — to unlock it. NOTE: Please note that all Tassimo coffee machines work in almost the same way, so the recommendations in this video apply to any Tassimo model.
All Tassimo coffee machines must be initialised or restarted before the first use or after a long period of inactivity.
This is something that not all users are aware of — alas, that mania of not reading instruction leaflets — so we are obliged to remember it. How do you initialise a Tassimo coffee machine? First of all, you have to take your service disc the yellow T-Disc that all Tassimo coffee machines have hidden in the back, start the coffee machine with it inside, and rinse the tank thoroughly to remove any dirt that may have been left inside.
The maintenance disc on Tassimo coffee machines is located in a compartment at the back of your coffee maker. All of them have it, without exception well, if you have bought a second hand Tassimo coffee machine, we are not responsible.
In any case, if you need to buy a new maintenance T-Disc, or have an extra one as a spare, you can get it here:. When you buy a new Tassimo coffee machine, you can register it on the website to join the MyTassimo club. It is none other than the Tassimo loyalty program Dolce Gusto also had it at the beginning but closed it a few years ago , which gives you points and discounts as you buy your items within the brand usually the capsules, of course. And, of course, the first step and the early discounts come when you register your Tassimo coffee machine.
You only need to know the serial number of the machine, which you can find in two places:. With this number, you only have to go to the official website and register your Tassimo coffee machine online. If you have any problems, you can also call the Tassimo customer service number. It is a topic for an article of your own: how to decalcify a Tassimo coffee machine.
We advise you to read it and comment on your impressions there. We can tell you that the process is very similar to that followed in any other capsule or espresso machine. Lower the cup stand by inserting your finger in the stand's centre and turning the stand clockwise, if your cup is too large to fit in the stand. Remove the cup stand and drip tray to accommodate your cup, if necessary. Raise the cup stand by inserting your finger in the centre of the stand, lifting and turning the stand counterclockwise.
This will move the cup closer to the brew mechanism and prevent splashing. Open the top of the brew mechanism and remove the T Disc. Clean the inside of the brew mechanism with a soft cloth.
Pull out the piercing unit and replace it. Press it down firmly to ensure that it is in place. Turn off and unplug the Tassimo, if the bottom of the machine is leaking. Pull out the drip tray located under the cup stand , backsplash located behind the cup stand and cup stand from the bottom of the unit. Empty the drip tray of any excess liquid.
