Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my Krups machine brewing slowly?

A slow brew is the classic symptom of scale restricting the flow path or a tired pump. If no water comes out of your Krups machine, the tank may be mis-seated, there may be air in the circuit, or the pump inlet is blocked by scale. Reseat the tank, run a blank cycle to purge air, and descale if flow stays weak. See our Slow Brewing guide.

My Krups Nespresso Krups takes too long to brew — fix?

No-flow on a Krups is usually one of three: the tank is not seated properly, air is trapped in the pump, or scale is blocking the inlet. Remove and refit the tank, run a rinse cycle, and descale if it persists. Full troubleshooting in our Slow Brewing guide.

How do I speed up a slow Krups coffee machine?

A Krups that runs but moves no water has a flow blockage or an air lock. Start with the tank seal and a blank brew to push air through, then check the inlet filter for scale. If flow is still zero, our Slow Brewing guide covers pump and valve repairs.
