Espresso dripping or not coming through at all? Breville's own manual files that under over-extraction, not machine failure. Start with the grind.
No water from the group head? Breville's books list the same causes for every model: not hot yet, the tank, the puck or basket, and scale. Test which in a minute.
No water from your Nespresso? Every manual gives the same short list: the tank, capsule and lever, descaling and the first-use rinse. Vertuo lights decoded.
De'Longhi's manuals have no owner pump replacement. They list the causes of no flow: tank valves, an empty circuit, a fine grind, a blocked filter and scale.
