  If your appliance isn't working, first, ensure that it is switched on. Then, check the removable water tank to ensure it is correctly positioned. Finally, the pump may be disabled due to a lack of water. Fill the water tank and restart the pump, avoiding emptying the tank completely.

  Espresso may leak out the sides of the filter holder if it is not positioned correctly. Fit the filter holder in position and lock it (turn from left to right until it stops). Also, the edge of the filter holder may be clogged by coffee. Remove the excess coffee and clean the grill through which the water flows using a damp sponge.

  If the water tank leaks when moved, the valve at the bottom of the tank may be dirty or defective. Wash the water tank and operate the valve with your finger, which is beneath the tank. Also, the valve could be blocked by calcified deposits, so descale your machine following the user instructions.

  If your espresso tastes bad, it may be because, after descaling, the rinsing cycle was not carried out correctly. Rinse the appliance in line with the user instructions and check the quality of the coffee.

  Coffee grounds may be present in the cup if the filter holder is clogged. Clean the filter holder using hot water. Also, the coffee grounds may be too fine, so use slightly larger coffee grounds. Finally, the seal on the head of the filter holder may be clogged, so clean the filter holder and the seal with a damp sponge.

Why is my Krups Pump espresso Virtuoso XP442 Coffee Maker nozzle not working or producing little foam?
- R
  Robin JonesSep 8, 2025
  The foam nozzle may not be correctly installed. Check that the accessory is correctly mounted on the appliance: remove then re-install it on the hinged arm using a firm upward movement. The milk may be too hot, so use fresh, pasteurised or UHT milk that has been recently opened. The steam nozzle may have an excess of limescale, so descale the steam nozzle. Finally, the shape of the container may not be suitable, so follow the milk foaming instructions.
