The display on my coffee maker is showing an orange water indicator. I have emptied everything.

It had problems before. Then when I tried to fix it it got completely stuck when the inside gear was ‘winding up’.

DeLonghi Dedica EC680: Pump sounds but no water from portal filter

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 15:05:41 -0700

We have a 9-year-old EC680 and suddenly the portal filter is not fed. At 06:00 I took a shot, at 13:00 only the pump sounded but no water appeared at the portal filter. After some seconds the pump turned off, because no water was flowing. No strange LEDs. Sadly I did no further tests.

This night I disassembled the machine until I could slide the inner parts out, powered -> only pump sounds, disconnected the flowmeter, powered -> suction on the pipe! I've opened the flowmeter, it's clean. Reconnected flowmeter, suction. Because there was no longer any fault I assembled the machine, powered -> no water. Then I switched to steam and this worked (unfortunately I didn't try this before disassembling). And afterwards even the portal filter got water.

So ... even in case the EC680 will brew next morning ... what was the fault / which parts should I replace when I get the fault again? I've seen the disassembling video and perhaps that small ball got stuck in the housing? The higher pressure of the steam setting got it loose? Any other idea?

Best regards, Vitus

Keurig K55: Why is my Keurig Classic constantly turning off while brewing?

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 09:57:51 -0700

I put the Keurig brand K cup in, pull down the top, and press the brew button. It works for a split second then the machine turns off and I waste a K Cup. The K Cup just leaks into my cup and I have to remove it and try again because if I try and use the same K Cup it doesn’t taste right! It happens with numerous Keurig branded K Cups including Hot Chocolate, Cafe Caramel, and Cafe Vanilla. It’s been happening at least 3-4 times a week.

This is my third machine I’ve received from Keurig support and it’s still happening. I’ve done all the needle cleaning, reseting, descaling, and many other fixes. The unit is not even 3 months old.

I’m just at a loss of what to do because I don’t see many people having the same problem. I’m also sick and tired of wasting perfectly good K Cups! Anybody have ideas how to permanently fix this?

EDIT & SOLUTION: I've been able to resolve the issue using a work around. This is not a fix and I don't know why Keurig hasn't fixed it after years of this happening.

When using a milk based K Cup, press it into the bottom by hand so the K Cup is punctured. Pull it up and rotate 90º and close the lid. This gives the K Cup two holes and much less pressure. It has worked perfectly since I've been doing this.

Keurig Coffee Maker: Why is it spitting coffee/grounds from top?

Wet coffee grounds are spitting out the top instead of dispensing into cup making a huge mess. We have tried cleaning, wiping and probing, same result. Where/what is the problem?

Lately, my Keurig Elite hasn't been making full cups of coffee, and just today it finally decided that it no longer wants to brew anything at all. I'm at a loss... Is this thing salvageable?

Farberware FSU 255 coffee urn won’t stop perking. Replaced thermostat. Needed to remove piggyback connectors to get old thermostat out.

Breville: Trying to remove the top cover on a Breville Oracle

Sat, 07 Mar 2026 01:09:25 -0700

Hi All,

In all the videos and instructions I have seen there are two Phillips head screws underneath the top cover next to the group head and the steam wand, on my machine I have two security screws instead.

Is there a tool I can get to remove these screws?

Breville: Why is my coffee machine tripping my switch

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 14:42:07 -0700

Hi, I have a Breville BES870 espresso machine purchased in Australia. I have been back in the UK 18 months and it has been working perfectly up until a couple of weeks ago.

I started to get no steam, then no water coming through and finally the machine was tripping the fuse box.

Can you advise where I could get this repaired?

Many thanks

Ninja Coffee Bar CF086: Drip stop light prevents brewing

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 10:25:45 -0700

I have a ninja coffee bar, had it for 2 years. The drip stop light lit while brewing, and wouldn't brew at all. I replaced the drip tray, and went away with one brew. Light returns. Seems to occur with unbalanced surfaces too, and whenever we slightly move it or shake it, the light MAY go off and brew for a bit. Has anyone taken one apart and disabled the drip stop sensor, and if so, how?

My percolator does not heat at all. When I connect it, the water remains cool. The base becomes very hot after some time, but does not heat the water. Does anyone know what is wrong with it, and how to fix it? I have a Farberware millenium percolator, model fcp240.
