after a few seconds the coffee flow becomes bubbly and weak we have tried everything?

Try a coarser grind. If it's too fine, it will just clog up the holes in the portafilter. If that doesn't help, try flushing the brew head a few times and letting the portafilter basket soak in hot soapy water for a while. Something make just be gunked up. Should none of those remedies work, your best bet would be to contact the manufacturer.

Try tamping the portafilter not so densely. If the machine has good water flow without coffee in it, experiment with the fineness of the grind, the amount in the portafilter, and the amount of pressure you use to tamp. there is definitely a learning curve!

I experienced the same problem. I was not able to resolve. I no longer have to coffee maker.

I spoke with Breville and they told me that the likely problem was too fine of a grind in the filter. They had me soak the filter in a vinegar/water mixture over nite then run the machine without coffee and I would see the grounds in the cup. Well, I did as they advised and only saw a few grounds. The problem persisted. I tried the pod and the flow was mostly drips, not a steady flow. I decided that this machine is too fussy, I just want my latte!

I had the same problem, the machine made the pump noise but no coffee. The cause of the problem was the water tank was not seated properly. I pushed down the tank as far as it went and the problem was solved.

Either the coffee is already cooled offm or you haven't got the milk hot enough. Quick test if milk is hot enough is to lightly touch the side of the stesming cup if it is too hot to touch it's hot enough.

Make sure you are pressing hard enough on the carbonation button. I had the same problem with mine until I realized I wasn't pressing it down all the way. Try two firm, short bursts. You will feel the difference in the pressure on the button when you get it right.

Add more water a cup at a time... No coffee. When it finally starts coming out you have filled the resevior.

Rebecca, Use the scoop to measure your ground coffee and put it in the small basket. Behind the basket is a small open tank and that's where you put your water. I just use my own measuring Tablespoon and follow the amounts given on my coffee can (Folgers regular coffee + 1Tablespoon coffee grounds per 6 oz water. Then flip the red button and it will light up so you know its on. It wont do anything for several seconds but then you'll hear it start to brew. When its done brewing you have to flip the switch back to the off position. It will not turn off by itself. Don't leave it on as it could be a fire hazard if left long enough. After using it for awhile if the brewing gets slow you can brew a cup of half white vinegar and half water (no coffee.) Let half of the vinegar-water brew and shut off the machine. Let it sit a few hours or overnight. Then turn the machine back on and let the other half of the vinegar-water brew all the way. Then shut it off to cool a little. Then run a cup of plain water all the way through. Repeat the plain water brewing until it doesn't smell like vinegar anymore (usually just 2 brewing cycles.) It will run like new again after you do that. Doesn't need it very often. I adore my Caf Uno and hope you enjoy yours.

Try just turning the selector counter - clockwise. We always leave ours on strong and adjust the strength with the amount of coffee we put in.

We have the same problem. we have also tried the eco reuseable cups and have had no luck. we use them as emergency only because the coffee doesn't taste as good or as strong.

just got mine out of the box and i'm having the same problem. the filter holder is hot, the steamer seems to be working, but water isn't going through. i thought i tamped the grounds too much, so i have now tried with a loose tamp and with no coffee grounds at all. All I get is a horrible noise. I'm very frustrated!

I poured in the water two or three times when making each cup, letting the water filter through before pouring again. Otherwise, most of the grounds just get pushed up on the side. I didn't find the coffee weak, and I'm fond of espresso.

Make sure you get the carafe directly under the basket all the way in. It's a little stiff at first. If it's not all the way in the shut-off valve may not allow the drip/brewing. Otherwise I can't imagine what's wrong.

We had this problem with our Bunn Coffeemaker and found a way to avoid the overflow. We wet the paper filter just a bit before adding the coffee grounds. That seems to take care of the overflow. Hope this helps others with the same problem.

my packets have tended to harden up (for the lack of a better word) i've gotten it back to its normal consistency by using the back of a metal spoon and then pouring my coffee into it. hope this helps.

The brew pause feature isn't working on my brand new coffee maker. My old one developed that problem after a few years of use, but this one seems to be of a lesser quality. I have to use a saucer to catch the drips.Otherwise, it's working fine.
