How to Fix a Coffee Maker That Wont Brew? See How We Fixed it!
When you don’t have coffee, it’s a long day. For the current generation, there is excellent news! With the advancement of technology, we can now quickly prepare many varieties of coffee everywhere! Let me explain what it is and how it works for those of you who don’t know.
A coffeemaker, often known as a coffee machine, is a kitchen gadget used to brew coffee. While many different types of coffeemakers use various brewing methods, the most typical devices use a paper or metal filter inside a funnel that is put over a glass or ceramic coffee pot, which is a kettle-style cooking pot. A separate chamber is filled with cold water, which is subsequently boiled and thrown into the funnel. This is also known as drip brewing.
How many types of coffee makers are there?
Coffee makers are divided into two types, automatic (electric) and manual.
Automatic Coffee Maker
An automatic coffee maker was invented in order to achieve comfort and speed when sipping coffee. To turn coffee into a drink, these devices require electricity.

Semiautomatic Espresso Machine
This equipment is commonly found in coffee establishments, and it assists baristas in quickly serving espresso-based coffee drinks.
There are four different types of espresso machines based on how they work. Super-automatic, automatic, semi-automatic, manual, and professional are the four varieties. Despite the automated features, you may still measure, grind, and compress your own coffee to your preferences, in contrast to automatic equipment, which allows coffee to be served without the need to measure it using certain methods. At the very least, there are two sorts of semi-automatic machines. The first is the manual control kind, which allows you to manually halt the coffee extraction process whenever you want. Programmable dosages are the second type, in which the machine will automatically stop once the coffee has reached the predetermined dose.

Super Automatic Espresso Machine
The purpose of bean to cup is where the process of making coffee drinks only requires inserting the coffee beans and pressing the buttons available on the machine. This machine can automatically grind, compress, and extract coffee to become espresso. In other words, this tool can replace the usual tasks a barista does in making espresso. This machine is also often referred to as a super-automatic espresso machine.
-
Percolators
how it works only by putting coffee grounds into a filter in a percolator that is already filled with water. After that, just heat the water by turning on the percolator with electric power. Very easy, isn’t it?
-
Filter Coffee Maker
This automatic coffee maker tends to reduce the acidity of the coffee. Coffee lovers who are idealistic about taste may not like the steeping of this tool.
-
Pod Coffee
You don’t need any beans or coffee grounds to brew. However, what you need is a coffee capsule as a raw material which will be processed automatically by this machine into a cup of coffee. Examples of famous brands are Dolce Gusto and Nespresso.
Manual Coffee Maker
A manual coffee maker, unlike an espresso machine or a percolator, is designed for the manual brew method. Manual brewing, as the name implies, is a technique in which the brewing process is carried out using tools that are manually operated by humans. Here are several examples:
-
Moka Pot
A Moka pot is a manual espresso maker. This tool does not require electrical power. The process of boiling water is done by heating a mocha pot on a stove or stove. This method uses high steam pressure, just like making espresso. The pressure generated with this tool is quite simple; boiling water will press the ground coffee that is compacted until it penetrates into the filter above it. The result of the process then exits through the funnel and fills the top of the vessel.
-
French Press
This simple coffee maker consists of a vessel with a filter at the top called a plunger. How to brew it is to let the coffee that has been brewed with hot water in the vessel for about 4 minutes. After that, press the plunger slowly until the coffee grounds are pressed to the bottom. Very easy, isn’t it? Presumably, this french press is the second simplest method of brewing after the brewing method.
But, wait……
what if the coffee maker can’t brew?
Has it lost its functionality? Buy a new one? Or fix it?
Let me give you the secret to fixing it like a new one! Not so five minutes craft, I guess
To serve espresso with a balanced taste character, many things need to be considered, for example;
-
The water used and the temperature.
How the role of water in brewing coffee is very important because coffee is actually dominated by water. When the coffee grounds are extracted into a serving cup of coffee, it essentially becomes coffee water. The mineral and calcium content in the water used plays a very important role in optimizing the flavor characteristics of the coffee grounds; this is also related to the water temperature during extraction. Generally, the water temperature that is able to give the impression of a balanced taste when extracting espresso is at a point of 90º – 96 C.
-
No hot water or steam?
It’s possible because the machine has not come up to operating pressure. So if your machine is not dispensing steam or hot water until there is sufficient pressure in the hot water boiler. Then there is hot water and no steam, then check the nozzle is not blocked with milk.
Parts for coffee machines have a maximum operating temperature. There are times when the coffee machine needs to be sent to a coffee machine repair and service shop for some maintenance so that it can return to its previous state of operation. As a result, take the best possible care of your coffee machine.
