Hello dear coffee community,
My name is Andreas and my wife and I are owners of a Siemens EQ.6 S400. We have always had some bad luck with it, within the warranty period it has been serviced twice, got a new pump and a new flowmeter.
Now it has been running normally for a long time, has been serviced and cleaned regularly. Basically it looks like it has hardly been used. In reality we get an average of 4 - 8 cups of coffee a day. Coffee specialities rather seldom. Age of the machine should be around 3 to 4 years.
Now to the problem and the measures taken so far
:Error: Machine starts the brewing process normally, coffee starts to run out of the spout, but after 2 to 3 seconds the coffee flow breaks in again, it looks like water is being drawn from an empty tank: It bubbles, steams and bubbles mainly from the coffee outlet. Sometimes more sometimes less. This process takes a long time, but the cup is full at the end. Flowmeter seems so i.O. - The coffee that comes out is crap though.
What I have done so far:
- Lines checked, here neither liquid seems to leak, nor air to enter.
- Ceramic valve replaced on suspicion. But has not changed the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas where else the problem could be? I have a suspicion, before I take action I thought but maybe someone here still has ne second opinion for me.
There is a video of the brewing process on YouTube if anyone wants to take a look.
MfG,
Andreas
