Why is the water not flowing in my espresso machine?

If the water isn't flowing in your Semi automatic espresso machine, there could be a few reasons.

Check the troubleshooting tips for simple ways to solve it:

no water alarm
Cause Solution
Water tank is missing or not properly inserted. Position the water tank correctly, adjusting it with the nozzle.
Water tank is empty or doesn't have enough water. Fill the water tank with tap water.

water not detected
Cause Solution
The coffee puck is too dense because the coffee grounds are too fine or the tamping strength was excessive. The water will then outflow during brewing. Press the Power button or leave the unit to go into shutdown mode. Then, remove the portafilter and clear it out before starting over again. Be sure to use the proper grind size / reduce the dose / tamp less firmly.
