    Have you descaled?

    Twice I thought ours had died a death, both times all it needed was a thorough descale.

    Yep , do that when the light is on so I don't think there is an issue with limescale

    pull out your brew unit- is it moving smoothly up and down fully if you try to press it manually?

    if not, it can cause all manner of mess internally.

    clean/grease videos available online

    Interesting , never considered the infuser .

    I have never greased it before .

    What grease do folks use for this ? Where can I get it .

    When ours was particularly stubborn, making 'coffee' with the descaler solution unblocked the spout.

    Followed by 2 or 3 runs of the descaling cycle with just clean water.

    This is on the way to me ...

    Amazon link

    Mine is 6 years old - the original bargain :) .... and it has been used 3-4 times a day in those 6 years. Great machine!

    Getting a little bit creaky so going to grease it up. Also going to change the O-Ring which has never been changed.

    I’m getting a slight rim of coffee grind in my cup at the moment. Is that likely to be the beans or something else?

    You didn’t change beans or anything recently?
    Or did you change your grind settings at all?

    Check the the pucks in the bin ... and see if it is defo wet through. If they are wet ... it could be grinding too finely?

    Thanks for the grease link. I have been trying for ages to find someone who will post it to Ireland at a reasonable price. Most Amazon suppliers won't deliver here. It should be a bargain alert by itself.

    Have the same machine about 5 years, reckon the descaler light come on after X amount of coffees dispensed, descaled it once, after about 18 months , light came back on, have not bothered since, coffee tastes the same.
    Your worrying too much about your coffee, just make it , drink it and enjoy it.

    Never touched the settings at all . Just left it as it came out of the factory.

    Then the other morning it started grinding the beans straight into the black plastic waste container . No coffee out the spouts .

    Checked the coffee in the waste container and it is dry.

    I took out the brewing unit and took it apart as per the video but there doesn't appear to be any piston inside? Definitely nothing like the one in YouTube video with the red o rings on it. Anyone know what's going on?

    It did indeed. I thought that circular steel plate was screwed in and didn't realise I could push it. It was quite rigid but its all good now, nice and greased up. Thanks again.

    That’s great but did you fix the coffee machine?

    make sure you check amazon dot de as well, usually cheaper than the UK site, just remember the plug.

    The ECAM 22.11 is 279 on the German site, about 30 euros delivered.

    I have this model about 3 years and cannot fault it.

    I've never ordered from Amazon Germany, is it a straight forward process?

    Yes, I got mine from Amazon Germany.
    You can use your Amazon UK account to login, handy to use a browser with translator built in, but it's basically the same process as ordering on Amazon UK.
    Arrived in a few days.

    Exact same. Only thing to be aware of the is plug which comes with the unit will require an adaptor.
