Since 2009, our technicians have seen there are some common problems with coffee machines. These include:
Clogged or dirty brew group: The brew group is the component responsible for brewing coffee. Over time, it can become clogged with coffee grounds or residue, leading to issues with coffee extraction. Cleaning or descaling the brew group can often resolve this problem.
Malfunctioning grinder: Coffee grinders can experience issues such as clogging, dull blades, or motor failure. This can result in uneven or coarse coffee grounds, impacting the taste and quality of the coffee.
Faulty pump: The pump is responsible for generating the necessary pressure to extract coffee. If the pump is malfunctioning, you may notice a decrease in water pressure or inconsistent extraction.
Water flow issues: Coffee machines rely on a consistent and proper flow of water. Problems such as low water pressure, blockages in the water lines, or malfunctioning solenoid valves can disrupt the flow, affecting the brewing process.
Steam wand issues: If your coffee machine has a steam wand for frothing milk, it may encounter problems such as low steam pressure, clogging, or leaking. These issues can be caused by mineral buildup or damaged seals.
Electrical or control board problems: Coffee machines with electronic controls can experience issues with their control boards, such as faulty sensors, display malfunctions, or power supply problems.
Leaking water: Water leaks can occur due to damaged seals, faulty gaskets, or loose connections. Identifying the source of the leak and replacing the affected parts can help resolve this issue.
Heating element failure: If your coffee machine is not heating the water properly, it may indicate a problem with the heating element. This can result in lukewarm or cold coffee. Replacing the heating element may be required.
However, coffee machine repairs can vary depending on the specific make and model.

Deciding whether it’s worth repairing a coffee maker depends on several factors.
At NWAR, we first consider the cost of repairs. If repairing your coffee machine costs 50% or more than the cost of buying a new one, it may not be worth it for you to repair it.

However, when it comes to coffee, personal preferences play a huge role.
If you have a strong preference for your current coffee maker because of personal attachment, its design, features, brand, or even compatibility with your kitchen setup, repairing it may be worth it instead of replacing it with a new model.
With that said, other things to consider before making your decision include:
The extent of the problem: Minor problems, such as clogged components or a malfunctioning switch, can often be repaired at a reasonable cost. However, if the problem is significant, such as a faulty heating element or control board, the repair cost may be high.
Age of the coffee maker: If the appliance is relatively new and still within its expected lifespan, it may be more cost-effective to repair it. On the other hand, if the coffee maker is old and has a history of multiple issues, it may be a sign that more problems could arise in the future and it’s time to replace it.
Coffee quality and features: If you are satisfied with the taste and quality of the coffee your machine brews, and the coffee maker has other desirable features that meet your preferences, repairing it may be preferable to switching to a different model.
The decision to repair or replace a coffee maker is very personal. It can be helpful to consult with an NWAR professional technician, who can assess the condition of your coffee maker, and offer advice based on their expertise.
Proper maintenance of a coffee maker can help ensure its optimal performance and longevity.
Our technicians recommend following the manual instructions for this, as the maintenance will depend on the model, type, and brand of your coffee machine.
However, here are some general tips for maintaining a coffee maker:
Regular cleaning: Regularly clean your coffee maker to remove coffee residue, oils, and mineral deposits. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning your specific model.
Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits from water, known as scale, can accumulate in the internal components of the coffee maker, affecting its performance. Descaling removes these deposits and helps maintain the efficiency of the machine.
Use a descaling solution recommended by the manufacturer and follow the instructions for descaling frequency and procedure.
Replace filters: If your coffee maker has a water filter, replace it according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. This helps remove impurities and can improve the taste of your coffee.
Use quality water: The quality of water used can impact the performance and lifespan of a coffee maker. If your water is hard or has high mineral content, consider using filtered or bottled water to reduce the buildup of scale.
Clean the grinder: If your coffee maker has a built-in grinder, clean it regularly to remove coffee particles and oils. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning the grinder, as it may vary depending on the model.
Empty and clean the carafe: After each use, empty the coffee carafe and rinse it thoroughly. Clean the carafe with warm, soapy water regularly to remove any lingering coffee residues.
Check seals and gaskets: Inspect the seals and gaskets of your coffee maker regularly. If you notice any cracks or deterioration, replace them as needed to prevent leaks or loss of pressure.
Use the right amount of coffee: Follow the recommended guidelines for coffee measurements provided by the manufacturer. Using the correct amount of coffee grounds can help ensure optimal flavour and prevent overloading the machine.
Keep it dry: After use or cleaning, ensure that all parts of the coffee maker are thoroughly dry before reassembling or storing it. Moisture can promote the growth of mold or mildew and cause damage to internal components.
By following these maintenance tips and staying consistent with the recommended cleaning and care, you can help prolong the life of your coffee maker and maintain the quality of your brewed coffee.
There could be several possible reasons why your coffee machine is suddenly making weak coffee. The most common include:
Incorrect coffee-to-water ratio: Ensure that you are using the appropriate amount of coffee grounds relative to the water you’re using. Using too few coffee grounds can result in weak or under-extracted coffee.
Adjust the coffee-to-water ratio according to your taste preferences and the instructions provided by the coffee maker’s manufacturer.
Grind size: If you’re using a coffee grinder, check the grind size of your coffee grounds. If the grind is too coarse, it can lead to weak coffee. Adjust the grinder settings to a finer grind size for a stronger extraction.
Water temperature: The water temperature during the brewing process plays a crucial role in extracting the flavours from the coffee grounds. If the water is not reaching the optimal temperature, it can result in weak coffee.
Check if the coffee maker is heating the water properly. If not, there may be an issue with the heating element or thermostat that requires repair or adjustment.
Brewing time: The duration of the brewing process also affects the strength of the coffee. If the water passes through the coffee grounds too quickly, it may not extract enough flavour.
Check if the brewing time is sufficient for your desired strength. Some coffee makers allow you to adjust the brewing time or have pre-programmed settings for different strengths.
Clogged or dirty filter: A clogged or dirty filter can restrict the flow of water through the coffee grounds, resulting in weak extraction. Clean or replace the filter as recommended by the coffee maker’s manufacturer.
Mineral buildup: Over time, mineral deposits from hard water can accumulate inside the coffee maker, affecting its performance. This can lead to weak coffee.
Descaling the coffee maker regularly, as per the manufacturer’s instructions, can help remove mineral buildup and restore optimal performance.
Aging coffee maker: If your coffee maker is old or has been in use for a long time, it may not brew coffee as strongly as it used to. Components such as the heating element or pump may be worn out, leading to weaker coffee. In such cases, it may be necessary to replace the aging coffee maker.
If none of these solutions resolve the issue, consult the user manual for your specific coffee maker model. You may find troubleshooting tips there.
But if the problem is getting worse, give us a call. NWAR technicians can diagnose and repair the problem so your coffee machine can brew coffee just in the way you like it.
