It probably needs to be descaled. Your Nespresso coffee machine should be descaled every three to six months. Do a search online, especially on Youtube, and it will show you step by step. Your manual that came with the machine should have instructions as well.

No its not, refill the tank and with no capsule run the machine 2 or 3 times until you get it normal, this happen if you let the tank run with no water

Just put a cup under and drain until no more comes out. Also, the part where the coffee is comes out I believe. It's easy to maintain.

Make sure the basket is securely seated before you turn it on. Also I fold the bottom of my paper filter. Ive had it leak a couple of times when I forget to do this but I had the same issue with my Quisinart coffee maker.

Could be the coffee is ground too fine. If you are grinding it or having someone grind it, specify it is for a "flat bottom" filter. My guess is the water is flowing over the top because of the fine grind, it can't filter through fast enough.

Mine is leaking the coffee from bottom when brewing. I can foresee more leaking problems in near future. I only had it for a few weeks too.

I am not sure, there is must be something wrong with your machine. My coffee is still warn the next morning if we didn't finish the pot from the morning before. It's always got when I make it, so you may want to want to send it back for replacement

Had the same problem, used a paper clip to unclog the part where the water come through (the metal pointy part that pokes the hole in the k-cup). Didn't have much success until I kept doing it and ran water through and then *as water sputtered through, I lifted the handle to make it stop, then put it right back down to resume.* each time coffee grounds came out little by little until POP the clog came out and water poured out. It's now working great!!!

Did you put cold water into the reservoir, coffee and filter into the top and close the lid? That should be all you nee.

There's a water tank in the rear of the machine, just lift it out and fill with water and solution.Hope that helps.

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

Unplug and replug the power cord. Push the power on switch. Do you see a little red light on the control panel? Also, take out the water tank, make sure it is empty and carefully put it back in place. Be sure the water tank panel is flush with the surface of the machine. If that does not work, contact the service department. using the supplied 800 number.

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for posting this solution! I have just spent an hour trying to unclog the filters with the cleaning tool and with vinegar, but to no avail. I didn't think it was clogged with coffee grounds since I've only used pods so far, and as far as I know, we don't have hard water. (Plus, we've only been using the machine for 2 weeks.) I was ready to bring it back to the store. It turns out the water tank just wasn't pushed in all the way. Seems to me this simple suggestion should be in the list of troubleshooting tips in the owner's manual, because I have a feeling a number of people are having this problem and attributing it to something more serious.

I've had my machine for less than a year, and lately also have not been able to get the water to push through the grounds as it always has. I've taken the baskets apart, cleaned all the filters, made an attempt at descaling, and still, the water flow stops at the grounds. My espresso machine's constipated! I'll try what Bill says, but I'm doubtful. I think it may be time already to shell out more money for repair or another model.

Mainly due to the impeller. The top portion must not be working. Did you plug the system in? If you can't here any water movement or the system running, then it has malfunction. Try changing the impeller first.

Sounds like a defect....if it is coffee that is leaking out, there is a crack somewhere in the pot. If it was steam, I would suggest vegetable oiling the screwing part. Also there is the possibility you might be using too much coffee. As you put coffee in the hopper, tamp it down with the spoon after each addition and fill it just below the rim. But to be honest, it sounds like it is defective.
