Are you frustrated that your Nespresso Inissia machine is not working correctly? If yes, then you are at the right place. In this article, I will review the most typical issues with Nespresso Inissia coffee makers and how to troubleshoot them. I will also offer some advice on maintaining your coffee maker’s efficiency and stopping new problems from occurring.
The good news is that Nespresso Inissia coffee machine issues can be quickly remedied at home using minimal tools and straightforward instructions. So do not worry if your Inissia is not working.
Here are most frequent causes of your Nespresso Inissia machine not working or functioning as it once did are listed below, along with what you can do to solve them:
Your Nespresso Inissia indicates a light on the Espresso/Lungo button for multiple purposes. Blinking of lights means your machine is in heating mode, and after 25 seconds, you will get steady lights on buttons which indicates that your device is ready to brew. What if you will get no light indication? Follow the steps written below.
If you plug your Nespresso Inissia into the power outlet and the lights on the Espresso or Lungo button are not lighting up, you must have an issue with your power source.
Before plugging your machine into the power source, you must check the mains, plug, voltage, and fuse. Maybe your Nespresso’s power specification does not match your home power source. In case of a problem, call the Nespresso Club.
If your machine is on and suddenly the button lights go out, your coffee maker must be turned “OFF” automatically.
Push the Espresso/Lungo button to turn the Nespresso Inissia machine ON or “UNLOCK” it by pushing the lever up. If the problem persists, call Nespresso.

Your coffee maker is heating up if the lights on the Espresso/Lungo buttons are blinking. Yet, there must be an issue if you get coffee in your cup while the lights are still blinking. However, if the coffee flows normally, the machine is working properly.
If water comes from the Nespresso after inserting the coffee capsule. The machine requests the user to clean, descale, or empty the system.
Empty the Nespresso Inissia by performing the following steps:
Descale the Nespresso Inissia by performing the following steps:
Clean the Nespresso Inissia by performing the following steps:
If the Nespresso coffee machine is only pouring water from the coffee outlet and there is no alert by your machine to clean, descale, or empty the system, then your Nespresso must be in descaling mode.
If the device is still blinking, press Espresso and Lungo buttons for three seconds to exit descaling mode.
If the problem persists, call Nespresso.
The blinking of lights on the Espresso/Lungo buttons means your coffee machine is in the heating stage. It will take some time before the coffee flow comes out (due to barcode reading and pre-wetting the coffee).
You might not set your coffee maker appropriately for brewing, so check the steps below.
Your coffee machine is in descaling mode.
Exit the descaling mode by pushing the Espresso/Lungo button for three seconds.
Steady lights on the Espresso/Lungo button mean that your Nespresso Inissia is ready to brew a coffee. But if you are not getting coffee in your cup, there must be some reasons. Let’s check them out and discuss their solutions!
If you want to brew Coffee or Espresso and not get any coffee in your cup, then some elements are below to check.
If you clean, descale, or empty the system, check the factors below.
Your Nespresso machine may flash its lights for various reasons, from informing you that it is heating or warning you that it is in descaling mode. It could be a sign of something far more severe. Let’s dig deep into it!
Your machine either needs descaling or is already in descaling mode.
Hold the Espresso and Lungo buttons for three seconds to exit the descaling mode or eliminate the decalcification warning.
After performing this step, if the problem persists, send the appliance to repair or call the Nespresso Club.
We know that it is challenging to clean your Nespresso Inissia after every use. But little effort can save you from big problems. What if your coffee machine cannot brew coffee completely? You do not want this to happen, right? Let’s come and understand how you can clean the dirt.
Unfortunately! Due to irregular cleaning, coffee sediment may build up over time in the machine’s spout, possibly obstructing the operation.
Take a paperclip (straighten it out), pipe cleaner, or q-tip and scrape around within the spout to remove the coffee buildup. Once finished, close the lever and run the water through it once or twice to remove any debris that may have become loose.
The spikey pyramids inside the capsule chamber that pierce the foil lid of the coffee capsules can also become clogged with coffee grinds. As a result, the water may become stopped or strangled as it struggles to travel through the pods.
To prevent this from happening, we advise periodically cleaning the inside of the capsule chamber with an old toothbrush. After finishing, close the lever and run the water cleansing cycle through it a few times to wash away any debris that became loose. For details of water rinsing see the section “Run Water Rinsing Cycle” under the problem “What To Do If Air Lock Form In The Nespresso Inissia”.
Air Lock is the most frequent problem in Nespresso Inissia. Due to this problem, your Nespresso Inissia is running, but you can not brew the coffee. Air Lock builds up the pressure and blocks the flow of water. But you don’t have to worry. By performing simple tips, you can resolve this issue. Let’s sort it out!
If you’ve ever allowed the water in the reservoir to run out, your Nespresso machine may have sucked air in. The pressure inside will change, which could prevent you from enjoying the complete Nespresso experience.
You must run a water rinsing cycle through the machine several times without a pod inserted to release the air bubbles. It will work because the pump can push the water through instead of fighting against a coffee capsule’s resistance.
The procedure typically works the first time; however, if your machine has ingested a significant amount of air or has been in storage for some time, you might need to repeat it.
Follow these steps to purge the air out of your Nespresso machine.
Nespresso Vertuo machines, sadly, cannot run a water-only cycle because they need a pod with a barcode inserted to brew. Take a pod, remove its foil and coffee grounds, rinse it off, and then insert it into the machine. Press the Espresso or Lungo button to begin brewing after filling the water tank to the MAX line. Repeat this process five to ten times or more until water gushes out.
There are a few other methods you can try if your Nespresso machine is not working because of an airlock issue:
Your Nespresso machine is not drawing any water, although the pump is making audible noise and the motor is spinning. It means the machine is simply not functioning.
Check the straightforward issues first. Is there water in the reservoir? Is the water reservoir securely positioned on its base and locked? Is the Nespresso coffee maker powered on and plugged in?
Suppose you check the mentioned things but still face problems, Don’t panic! We have explained the possible reasons for this issue and their solutions.
If you have recently bought the Nespresso coffee machine or used it long ago, you will probably find that no water comes out when you press the button.
You can fix your Nespresso Citiz, Maestria, Nespresso Lattissima, Nespresso U, Nespresso Pixie, Nespresso Vertuoline, or Nespresso Inissia with this method.
If you are using your Nespresso for the first time or using it after a long time. Follow the instructions below:
There is a possibility that there is no problem with the water. Instead, your capsule container has issues.
The internal water pump is most likely air-locked if none are the issue. The pump must have water inside; otherwise, you can not release the water. It is a typical Nespresso issue. Here’s a fix for it.
To prime the water pump and get water into it:
For instance, if the water reservoir has insufficient water for the quantity of coffee you want to brew, it will run dry and result in an airlock.
To prevent the reservoir from running dry, keeping the water container filled before brewing your fantastic Nespresso coffee is always a good idea. For a detailed discussion, please refer to the “What To Do If Air Lock Form In The Nespresso Inissia?” above.
Is the flow of coffee from your Nespresso Inissia machine poor and sluggish? Is the coffee dripping out of the machine slowly rather than correctly? Or you’re not thrilled with how much coffee you’ve been getting recently in your cup. Let’s discuss this!
Your Nespresso coffee maker may need cleaning if you get a different cup of coffee.
A buildup of coffee oils and debris is probably the cause of the flow of your coffee. The brewing chamber, spout, nozzle, and washer plate of your Nespresso coffee maker all experience these build-ups. With each cup you brew, these parts in your machine progressively accumulate oils and residue.
Sludge buildup can significantly impact your coffee’s flow speed, flavor, and aroma by clogging the holes in your washer plate.
Learn how to unclog and fix poor or slow flow in Your Nespresso coffee machine.
So how can you clean and unclog your Nespresso Inissia that flows coffee slowly or poorly? A Coffee Machine Cleaning Capsule is the most effective technique to clear the clog. Your Nespresso machine will get clean if you use a Cleaning Capsule at least once a month or after 30 cups of coffee. Utilizing the Cleaning Capsule is just as simple as brewing coffee.
The Cleaning Capsule was created to fit in your Original Line Nespresso Machine and provide complete, hygienic cleaning of the front end. The capsule releases a distinct and potent cleaning agent with foaming action. This foaming motion efficiently passes through the brewing chamber, spout, and washer plate while reaching narrow spaces. Something that neither hot water nor a descaling agent could accomplish because they lack the foaming ability.
The Cleaning Capsules clean out bad and hardened oils and unclog the washer plate. Your coffee maker’s cleaning capsules also eliminate microorganisms and old coffee residue. Consequently, it will improve the flow and flavor of your coffee. Additionally, this guarantees that the coffee in your subsequent cup is the best and tastes the freshest.
Using the cleaning capsule is as simple as brewing your coffee in Nespresso Inissia. Let’s explore how we can clean our Inissia using a cleaning capsule.
Perform this procedure at least once monthly or per 30 cups of coffee. Please be aware that the process of descaling your coffee maker is entirely separate from utilizing a cleaning capsule.
We understand that you want a hot divine cup of coffee, and after brewing, you will not get the required temperature of the coffee. You must be very frustrated, but the basic solution to this problem is to preheat the cup with hot water from the tap. If the problem persists, follow the steps below.
If you still face the problem, your Nespresso Inissia boiler must have accumulated the sediments. It will make the heating system work less efficiently.
If this occurs, we advise properly decalcifying the machine. Only the first cup of coffee is typically served cooler than usual. A few cycles without a coffee capsule, followed by the final brew cycle with your capsule, should be successful. By this point, the boiler should have had plenty of time to warm up. Run a few decalcification cycles after that to try and remove the mineral buildup.
For details of water rinsing see the section “Run Water Rinsing Cycle” under the problem “What To Do If Air Lock Form In The Nespresso Inissia”.
On the other hand, if all the coffees are always cold, then your machine has broken.
Typically, you must replace the Thermostat (which heats the water before it gushes out) or the thermoblock (which regulates how hot it gets).
We recommend you contact your Nespresso agent for the replacement.
The primary step to stopping the leakage is to position the capsule correctly. The flat aluminum side of the pod should face toward the coffee outlet. If you are still facing leakage in the capsule container, read the reasons and their possible solutions below.
Your Nespresso machine’s water tank or pump may malfunction if water drips into the capsule box. You might face leakage if you do not place the water tank correctly. Additionally, water may flow into the capsule box if the pump malfunctions.
If there is an issue with the water tank or pump, you should get help from Nespresso customer service.
Clogged pipelines, defective pumps or heating components, clogged nozzles, or unclean capsule holders are the leading causes. If Nespresso hasn’t been cleaned or descaled for a very long time, it may begin to leak.
Regularly clean or descale your Nespresso. For details of water rinsing see the section “Run Water Rinsing Cycle” under the problem “What To Do If Air Lock Form In The Nespresso Inissia”.
Follow the instructions listed in Gunked Up heading under “Problem 6 (Reason 1)” to unclog the nozzle of your Nespresso Inissia.
When the water cannot correctly enter or exit the capsule, it may also leak into the capsule area. The coffee residue buildup obstructed the grid plate, which might result in spurts of leaking.
Where the espresso pod exits the OriginaLline Nespresso machines is the grid plate. The grid plate’s numerous tiny pyramid-shaped holes contact the capsule’s foil lid.
When you press the brew button on the Nespresso coffee maker, pressure builds up inside the capsule. The pressure will push the foil against the raised profile of the plate and rupture the foil. After the rupture, coffee will be extracted through the plate’s tiny holes, into the spout, and ultimately into your cup.
Because of the frequent contact and pressure, the grid plate on your Nespresso coffee machine is the dirtiest portion. The buildup of residue and coffee grounds on the grid can impede coffee flow. Worse still, there will be bacterial growth.
The coffee ground on the grid plate can be cleaned by simply brushing it with a toothbrush. Run the clean water cycle to flush out the coffee residual.
If leakages still occur, call the Nespresso Club.
The Espresso (small cup) button should typically take 25 to 35 seconds to extract the coffee, yielding about 40 ml of espresso coffee. There must be a problem if the extraction takes more than 40 seconds or less than 20 seconds or if you receive a different volume of coffee than usual. Let’s dig deep into it!
You might have unintentionally changed the coffee volume setting.
It can occur if you press the start button and then press the stop button before the brew cycle is fully complete.
You can quickly restore the coffee volumes to their original levels by performing a factory reset.
Your coffee maker might require a deep cleaning if it is brewing a partial cup.
Descale your Nespresso Inissia. Remove limescale buildup by descaling your Nespresso Inissia. I have discussed the details of descaling under the heading ‘What To Do If The Nespresso Inissia Blinks Light While Running?’.
If the issue persists, call the Nespresso club.
While this is not a common problem, it is something for your knowledge. It is rumored that Nespresso regularly leaks coffee or water to some coffee drinkers. Let’s understand the reasons for leakage and their corresponding solutions.
If your machine leaks, it is likely due to a faulty seal or gasket.
You can try replacing the seal or gasket, but if the problem persists, you may need to contact Nespresso for further assistance.
There may be cracks in your Nespresso water tank.
Fill the tank with water and set it on a cloth if the crack is not noticeable. If water seeps through, your water tank probably has cracks. Replace the damaged water tank with a new one; water tanks are available from numerous online stores.
Water pressure and flow are reduced when the nozzle of your Nespresso is clogged, resulting in leaks.
Unclog your nozzle with the steps deeply explained in the heading “What to do if My Nespresso Inissia gunked up?”.
Does your Nespresso Inissia coffee maker not pierce or punch the capsules badly? Does your coffee come out in minimal quantities? There must be a reason for these problems. Let’s go through them!
If your coffee maker doesn’t pierce the capsules, you can do two things:
Also, refer to the “What to do if My Nespresso Inissia gunked up?” above. It may not be the punch needles that are the problem, and it could be the pod’s output side causing the pain.
OK, I know this sounds very lame, but some folks accidentally or intentionally pour milk into the Water Reservoir. We know this sounds ridiculous, but yes, it happens!
But if this happens, immediately take action to cure this problem.
Milk and water have different boiling points. Milk contains substances terrible for your machine and will entirely clog it up, including fats, carbohydrates, and an abundance of microscopic particles. In the worst situation, the milk solids burn on the Thermoblock (Nespresso’s heating mechanism)
By running a few descaling cycles in your Nespresso Inissia machine, you might attempt to repair any temporary harm swiftly.
Are you still confused about some points? Don’t worry I am here to find all the solutions to your problems with Nespresso Inissia. Below I have answered the most commonly asked questions of coffee maker users. So scroll down!
