Thanks for the video, very useful! I was cleaning the inside component once a month, but from the video i learned that i should do it on a weekly basis. But what is different in my manual, it tells me to lubricate the machine every two months. You should check this, because if you use the tablets every month you should lubricate more often then 6 months. I have a Phillips 1200 series. Thanks again, wish you all the best.

Philips should hire you for instruction videos, you done perfectly as they are truly bad at it

Thank you! I dogsit for people with this machine and they’ll be so grateful I’m learning how to take care of it ha

Nice video. Very useful.

Thanks for the video. Question after inserting the oil removing turning the machine back on and brewing several cups to rinse the machine the water is still not coming out clear… does anyone have this problem?

You have explained where the cleaning tablets go. No other instructions have done that and I have been looking! Thank you! Question: where is the filter that you will need to change? I see just a little white thing in the water holder. Is that the filter that you would change out? Thanks.

Hey! I have a question or I should like to request that you contribute to show us how you do the calc and clean, I do it now the first time, but I'm a little bit unsettled, So can you do it? :)

Beautiful video thank you😊

My coffee makers light on aqua clean is on. We use filtered Water. How do I make this light go off?

Do you lubricate the group after each weekly cleaning?

Hello, please could you help me to understand why my brew unit is so hard to be removed from the machine? Thanks in advance!

Nice one, man! I am using EP2220. Do you know why the pre-ground coffee doesn't brew? Just getting water all the time. Finished decal and cleaning. All else works except grounds. Appreciate your answer!

Hi thanks for the vid! Umm, How do you know you've hit 5000 cups?

Where I can buy the tablet, on amazon it is not available and in my country either. Thank you

Thanks for the video- I have this same machine and my Frother is not frothing. I did the CalcClean reccomended in the manual, cleaned full system but milk is coming out flat, no froth. Any guidance in how to solve? Thank you 🙏🏽

Hi I've just bought this machine and I'm using espresso not the beans. It made one espresso OK then the next ones have all been weak or just water. Am I doing something wrong. Any help much appreciated 😁

What degreaser did you use and how did you do it? Having the same issues of coffee grind gunk stuck on the brew head.

Hello, Very interesting video! Thank you very much! When we put the aquaclean capsule, it floats and does not hold in the bottom despite having let the bubbles come out as much as possible. How do we make the cartridge stay in the bottom? Thank you beforehand.

I have done maintenance and coffee is watery and sludge. No pucks. I have had a long time and used to get nice dry pucks

Th grinder doesnt get cleaned, as the tablet goes into the tamper and basket only, the beans are still sitting in the grinder...this doesnt make sense, how does the actual burr/ceramic grinder actually get cleaned then? it only cleans the basket and tamper.

Hi John, nice videos and very thoughtfull of you helping others... I just received my EP 2221/40... I maded like 10 espresso with setting1 on the grinder, at lowest temperature setting from custom settings, but still it seems that i don't get that foam (cream) that it's shown on many videos that I've watched... What could be the cause?! It's about the coffee?! I use Julius Meinl Prasident for automatic machines.... I just don't get it... How could I get the most crema from my coffee?!

Thanks alot.. tip : don't unplug the machine just press the pause button

Hi, thanks for the video, I am facing a problem… coffee is not coming out anymore! I cleaned it totally but suddenly it stopped pouring coffee but hot water is ok… any idea?

Hello My espresso machine displays all 3 LEDs on the right. I cleaned, decalcified and greased the espresso machine, but I still haven't solved the problem. The filter is barely changed. What do you suggest I do?

I just buy this machine today.So for the first time using this machine . 1. The manual tells me to fill the water tank to the maximum level and turn on the machine. After i turn on the machine, it rinse the system quite a few water not many droplet and take about 10 second. Is this normal ? 2 . Is your brew group has a dificulty about removing , I push the yellow leaver but it take some time for unlock the brew unit . Thanks in advance .

aand lubricant (grease) neither

year update? I'm about to pull the trigger at costco, how is the machine holding up a year later?

Is it still holding up 2 years later?

Where can i buy the lubricant?

Hi John, my steam suddenly started coming out rather 'aggressively' - mostly making large bubbles causing the milk to bubble out. It also makes a 'glup glup' sound. I've cleaned the hell out of the steam wand, run a ton of hot water through the nozzle, tried with no filter, descailed it (I've only made about 50 lattes on it). Any ideas? basically it's just a good expresso maker now.

Can you make an update on how your machine is still working with filtered water I just got this machine and want to know how long it will last if I use filtered water since the instructions says not to lol and I have well water other wise 😂and I’m sure that’s also not what the machine is looking for as in certain toxins to filter 😩since I gathered it’s looking to filter out certain chemicals in tap from the city 🤷🏽‍♀️

I haven’t cleaned it for 2 years 💀

well you just keep saying i do this and i do that! .... well the question is : HOW? i need to see how its done!

I suggest not to buy this machine. After one year no more steam and coffee comes watery.

What a ridiciocoulus amount of work. Totally not a friendly coffee machine
