How we repair your Espresso Machine
An espresso machine forces hot water through a tightly packed puck of finely ground coffee at high pressure, and most models also make steam for frothing milk. An espresso machine combines a water supply or reservoir, a pump or fill valve, a heating element or boiler, thermostats and safety cutoffs. A technician checks water flow, scale buildup, heating and temperature control, and seals and gaskets.

Common Espresso Machine problems we fix
What usually causes each symptom, and what our technician checks to confirm it.
Water leaking around the portafilter
- Likely causes
- A hardened or worn group gasket, a dirty gasket seat, or a portafilter basket that no longer seals.
- What our technician checks
- The group gasket is inspected for hardness and cracking and the portafilter lock-in is checked for proper engagement.
Pump runs loud but little water comes out
- Likely causes
- An empty or air-locked reservoir, a clogged reservoir inlet filter, or a pump that has lost its prime.
- What our technician checks
- The reservoir pickup is inspected, the pump is primed through the hot water or steam wand, and pump output is measured.
Machine does not heat up
- Likely causes
- A tripped high-limit thermostat, a failed heating element or thermoblock, or a faulty pressure switch or temperature sensor.
- What our technician checks
- The element is tested for resistance, safety thermostats are checked for reset or failure, and controls are tested for output.
Steam wand weak or sputtering
- Likely causes
- Dried milk blocking the steam tip, scale in the boiler or steam valve, or a steam thermostat or pressure switch set too low.
- What our technician checks
- The steam tip is cleared, boiler pressure or steam temperature is measured, and the steam valve is checked for flow.
Water leaking under the machine
- Likely causes
- A full or cracked drip tray, a leaking boiler fitting, a loose internal hose, or a stuck over-pressure valve venting water.
- What our technician checks
- The case is opened with the unit cool and depressurized, and fittings, hoses and relief valve are checked for drips.
Weak or no pressure at the group
- Likely causes
- A worn vibratory or rotary pump, scale blocking the solenoid valve or group, or a clogged shower screen.
- What our technician checks
- The technician measures brew pressure with a portafilter gauge and inspects the pump, solenoid and screen for scale.
Quick checks you can do safely
- Fill the reservoir and make sure it is fully seated on its valve.
- Purge and wipe the steam wand after every use, and soak the tip if it is blocked.
- Backflush the group with a blind basket if the machine supports it.
- Empty the drip tray and check it is pushed fully into place.
- Try a slightly coarser grind if shots barely drip out.
Safety first: Boilers hold hot water and steam under pressure, so the machine must be cooled and depressurized before any panel or fitting is opened.
