⚡ TL;DR — Quick Answer

Prime the Lavazza pump by activating the steam function for 30 seconds with the wand pointing up.

What Causes No Water Flow?

Lavazza A Modo Mio machines use proprietary capsules and compact brewing systems.

Step-by-Step Fix

Follow these steps specifically for Lavazza machines:

  1. Prime the Lavazza pump by activating the steam function for 30 seconds with the wand pointing up.
  2. Inspect the inlet hose for kinks. On Lavazza machines, a clogged tank filter restricts flow.
  3. Check the flow meter for debris. Remove and rinse with warm water.
  4. Verify the water level sensor is not stuck. Gently tap the sensor housing to dislodge it.
