Introduction
Sometimes Nespresso coffee machines will not fill with water after months of disuse. It is a very common issue with this type of coffee machine, as the interior tubing dries out and the machine cannot refill itself with water on its own. We will explore a homemade method to ensure the machine feeds correctly from the water reservoir.
The solution is to prime it with a syringe.

Various Nespresso coffee machines models don't pump water after months of storage and disuse. It's a very common problem in this type coffee maker, the tubing inside dries out and the machine can't pump water. After trying a couple of times, let's look at home-brewed method to get water flowing from the tank.
-
First—Remove the water tank.
-
-
-
-
Support the sponge or foam with the syringe, completely covering the hole
-
In the photos we see that the syringe is inclined, I chose to make the hole in the sponge in this inclined fashion so it will work with the greatest number of coffee makers, since depending on the type of tank, some protrude at the rear and the syringe could be obstructed by the machine.
-
This way is more versatile, maximizing compatibility for more models.
-
-
-
First. Having positioned the syringe, press down so that the water does not escape through the side.
-
Second. Press the button for a large cup, for example.
-
Third. Press the plunger down completely while the water pump is running.
-
Fourth. As soon as we empty the syringe, press the button again to stop the pump.
-
Fifth. We remove the syringe.
-
-
-
With the water reservoir correctly placed, lift the capsule lever completely.
-
Press the large coffee button.
-
When water starts to flow from the reservoir, close the lever to ensure that water begins to flow.
-
Our problem is hereby solved.
-
If this method doesn't solve the problem, we can try repeating it, and if the machine still doesn't suck in water, we'll only have to disassemble it to manually prime the water inlet hose to the pump.
-
Well done. Try to cycle the coffee machine every once in a while to prevent this from happening again

Das geht einfacher mit einem Luftballon.
Der Wassertank wird ca. halb gefüllt. Dann Maschine einschalten und die Pumpe starten. Während das Gerät pumpt, den Luftballon im Wassertank aufblasen und so einen Überdruck erzeugen.
Vorteil: Kein Gefummelt mit einem Gummiadapter für die Aufnahme vom Wassertank und die Wassermenge im halb gefüllten Tank reicht locker für das Leitungssystem, so dass nichts nachgefüllt werden muss.
TRADUCCION Esto es más fácil con un globo. Llena el depósito de agua hasta la mitad. A continuación, enciende la máquina y pon en marcha la bomba. Mientras la máquina bombea, infla el globo en el depósito de agua para crear una sobrepresión. Ventaja: no hay que juguetear con un adaptador de goma para sujetar el depósito de agua y la cantidad de agua del depósito medio lleno es fácilmente suficiente para el sistema de tuberías, de modo que no hay que rellenar nada.
Muchas gracias por tu aporte, entiendo que metes el globo dentro del deposito de agua? ¿es asi?
Musste im Urlaub eine Plastiktüte statt eines Luftballons verwenden - hat aber trotzdem funktioniert. Vielen Dank!

Tuve que usar una bolsa de plástico en vez de un globo en vacaciones, pero funcionó. Muchas gracias.
Muchas gracias a ti BuzzDee
