Why is my coffee maker not pushing water through?
When your coffee maker stops pumping water, the appliance probably needs to be descaled. Hard water build-up may be affecting your coffee machine’s ability to pump water through it to make coffee. Simply run a descaling cycle to clear the build-up. Ensure water reservoir is filled: A coffee machine not brewing often points to an empty water reservoir. Make sure it is filled and properly seated to avoid brewing issues. Inspect for clogs in the brewing mechanism: Clogs can disrupt the brewing process.If your coffee machine is powering on but not brewing, the culprit might be a blocked water line or heating element. Mineral buildup from hard water can clog these components, preventing the water from reaching the right temperature or flowing into the brew basket[^2^].Clogging is another common culprit behind noisy coffee machines. Residues and mineral deposits can accumulate in the water or coffee grounds. Regular descaling will alleviate this problem. If you live in an area with hard water, using bottled water can also help.
Why is my coffee not flowing?
Calcium deposits from hard water can build up over time and block water flow. This is especially common in areas with hard water. A simple descaling solution[^2] can often solve this problem. We recommend using a food-safe descaling solution specifically designed for coffee equipment. Bottled water might improve your coffee, but it depends on the brand. Some bottled waters contain too many minerals, which can lead to over-extraction. Check the water’s mineral content before use.
