5 Signs Your Home Coffee Machine Needs a Professional Service
There’s nothing worse than starting your day with a weak or bitter brew, or worse — a coffee machine that suddenly stops working. Regular domestic servicing can prevent these headaches, but how do you know when your home coffee machine needs professional attention? Here are five clear signs to watch for.
1. Strange Noises or Unusual Sounds
Grinding, squealing, or hissing noises are not just annoying — they often indicate internal issues such as scale buildup, worn parts, or blockages. Ignoring these sounds can lead to more serious problems down the line.
2. Slow Brewing or Weak Coffee
If your espresso takes longer than usual or your coffee tastes weaker than normal, it may be due to clogged filters or scale deposits. Regular maintenance ensures that water flows correctly and your coffee tastes just as it should.
3. Leaks or Water Pooling
Water leaking from your coffee machine is a warning sign of worn seals or other internal damage. Small leaks can quickly become bigger issues, potentially causing electrical faults or permanent damage to your machine.
4. Error Messages or Flashing Lights
Modern machines are smart, but when they display error codes or flashing lights, it’s usually more than a minor glitch. A professional technician can diagnose and fix the problem before it turns into an expensive repair.
5. Off Tastes or Strange Smells
If your coffee starts tasting bitter, metallic, or just “off,” it might be due to old coffee oils, mineral buildup, or mould inside the machine. Professional cleaning restores both taste and hygiene, keeping your coffee delicious every morning.
