Your automatic espresso machine starts acting up. The shot pulls too slow, the pressure gauge spikes, or the display shows an error code you have never seen before. You turn it off and on again, but nothing changes. Before you call a technician or start shopping for a replacement, try a reset. It fixes more issues than most people realize.
This guide walks you through every type of reset for automatic espresso machines. You will learn the difference between a soft reset and a factory reset, when each is appropriate, and how to recover from a botched reset. I have spent years testing super-automatic machines from Jura, DeLonghi, Philips, and Breville. The procedures below reflect what actually works on those machines, not generic advice.
