First remove the water tank from your Tassimo appliance. Fill the water tank to the level indicator marked with the descaling symbol see image 2 and add two Bosch Tassimo descaling tablets to the water in the tank. How do I know when my Tassimo needs descaling? This is the main thing: press and hold the brew button for at least 3 seconds. After 3 seconds the green and red lights will start flashing simultaneously — that indicates you've started the descaling cycle, which will run mL of the solution thru the machine and into the cup.
Why do my Tassimo pods explode? What is the grey tablet in a pocket in the water tank? It's a float, it lets the machine know if you have enough water. What does the orange light mean on a Tassimo? If the amber light is beside the cup icon then it should be flashing when machine is percolating coffee. If the amber light is opposite the water level icon then there is insufficient water in the container.
NOTE: It is important to practice decalcification when the machine is in decalcification mode that is when it warns you, and not at any other time. If your Tassimo coffee machine does not read the code , the automatic reading system of the T-Discs will most likely not work due to the dirt.
Immediate solution 1 : clean the barcode reader of your coffee machine well, and try again with a new capsule. Immediate solution 2 : Make sure the barcode on the capsule is clean and wrinkle-free and also that the capsule is inserted correctly into the punch unit. If the capsule is embedded in a different position, its barcode cannot be scanned. Long-term solution : prepare your coffees in manual mode renouncing the automatic mode , although, of course, this way you take all the fun out of this brand of coffee maker.
It is one of the most unpleasant problems that can happen to you with a Tassimo coffee machine, although fortunately, it is not too frequent. And we say this because the consequence is that, after hearing a dry blow — the capsule breaking — the coffee and the water being injected are thrown all around the capsule holder.
The good news is that this problem of the Tassimo capsule exploding inside the machine has nothing to do with a fault in your Tassimo coffee machine but with a leak in the T-Disc. At some point, the Tassimo capsule loses its vacuum, and the most frequent causes of this are usually a poorly sealed label, a hole or scratch on the lid, transport or careless handling.
It has no other solution than to be prevented and try to detect the defective T-Disc -without vacuum- before introducing it into the coffee machine. Once this routine check has been made, if the light on your Tassimo brewer continues to flash to indicate that it is not detecting water, try the following:.
The water tank has a meter a kind of black plastic cap, which floats on the water that is used by the coffee maker to detect whether it is full or empty. In this case, all you have to do is move the gauge by hand — or with a tool that allows you to access it — to unlock it.
NOTE: Please note that all Tassimo coffee machines work in almost the same way, so the recommendations in this video apply to any Tassimo model. All Tassimo coffee machines must be initialised or restarted before the first use or after a long period of inactivity. This is something that not all users are aware of — alas, that mania of not reading instruction leaflets — so we are obliged to remember it.
How do you initialise a Tassimo coffee machine? First of all, you have to take your service disc the yellow T-Disc that all Tassimo coffee machines have hidden in the back, start the coffee machine with it inside, and rinse the tank thoroughly to remove any dirt that may have been left inside. Remove the filter cartridge and water tank. Lift the lid on the brewing unit and insert the service disc. The machine will dispense water into the cup as the cleaning cycle completes.
The float in the water tank is stuck. Ensure that it can move freely. The machine has encountered an error that requires service. But thanks for useful comments below. Jan 17, Small drinks by: Anonymous I've had my tassimo for about a year and I buy the same pods each week.
A few weeks ago the machine started to make much smaller cups of coffee. I would guess about half the amount that it would usually make. It is regularly descaled and the barcode reader is clean. Any idea what is causing this? Jan 15, Short measures by: Anonymous Seen same question asked before but can't see any answer. Bar code reader cleaned de scaled etc etc. Machine only produces roughly half measures. Jan 14, Tassimo Start button sticks by: Anonymous Hello, My Tassimo machine works but recently the Start button is a little difficult to push to activate and it is clicking like it is about to stick and stay stuck.
Before I try to take it apart, if I can, to fix it I thought I would ask if anyone else had this issue. If so how did you resolve it? Thanks in advance, Love my Tassimo. Jan 13, Not working by: Anonymous the Orange light is on. I've cleaned the glass for the bar code reader and repositioned water tank but still not working any other suggestion?
Please I'm missing my coffee. Jan 08, Not read pod barcodes by: Anonymous I had my second tassimo for Christmas. All working fine then suddenly it decided it wasn't going to read the Bircotes on the pods or maintenance disc. I did a thorough clean and paid special attention to Bargoed reader, still nothing but after a lit for fiddling I have found that it a put a little bit of pressure on the pod lid I hear a click, and the the orange light goes off and the green one lights up and it reads the codes.
Obviously this means I have to stand there with my hand on the lid for it to work. Hoping it's a simple adjustment and I don't have to return to repair. Anyone got any ideas? Jan 02, Tossimo not brewing by: Anonymous I thought I should share the solution to my tossimo..
The first time i turned it on the yellow button ready was on although the water was full. I cleaned the bar code scanner, re position the cleaning disc. But still not brewing. Water was full. Not brewing. Finally I had lifted the water container at the back and repositioned again. It brewed! Hope this works for your tossimo. Mine works perfectly! Thanks for all the tips here.
Dec 31, Cold water by: Anonymous Have desalted but dispenses only cold water and weak cold coffee. Dec 26, Thank you by: Anonymous I had removed the bar code as i didn't realise it was important and just thought it was another bit of packaging. This saved Christmas! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.
Dec 13, Tassimo quit working by: AnonymousRena Green and red light stay on. Will not work at all. I love my machine and have had it for a while. Dec 10, Tassimo won't work by: Anonymous Took me quite a while, but I finally realized that the order of operations is the most important fix.
Turn the machine on, before you put the disc into the machine, especially if you are using the Service T Disc. I was leaving the Service Disc in the machine while descaling or cleaning. Once I turned the machine off and on and then put in the disc, the Tassimo performed beautifully. None of the directions show this very important simple step. Hope it works. Dec 05, All lights flashing by: Phil love my coffee I noticed other people have mentioned all lights flashing but could not read any further?!

Take it out and rub it with another stonger Magnet for about two minutes. Then put it all back Together. And the motor runs but no water comes through. I've tried decalcifying but no water comes through in that process either. I've tried resetting the machine but that does not help. I've cleaned the bar code reader window, but that does not help.
