  If your Qilive Coffee Maker doesn't turn on, first ensure it is properly plugged into a working wall socket. Check the power source to confirm there is electricity. If the appliance is overheating, turn the Steam Control knob to “OFF”, unplug it, let it cool for 10 minutes, then plug it back in. If none of these steps work, there may be a malfunction, and you should unplug the appliance and contact an authorized service center for repair.

What to do if my Qilive Q.5164 is leaking water from the sides of the filter?

  If water leaks from the sides of the filter in your Qilive Coffee Maker, it could be due to a few reasons. First, remove any loose coffee grounds around the rim of the filter before inserting the portafilter. Second, ensure that you are not overfilling the filter; fill coffee grounds evenly and level with the rim, and then tamp. Lastly, make sure the portafilter is properly locked into the brew head by inserting it in the “INSERT” position and turning the handle to the right until it reaches the “LOCKED” position.

  If the coffee from your Qilive Coffee Maker tastes sour, it could be due to several reasons. Ensure you performed the first flush and steam operation before the first use, following the instructions in BEFORE FIRST USE. Also, check your coffee grounds; if they are expired or stored improperly (in a hot, wet place), use fresh grounds and store them correctly in a cool, dry place or the fridge. Finally, the espresso machine may need descaling; see DESCALING in CLEANING AND CARE.

How to fix a Qilive Q.5164 steam wand that does not produce froth?
- A
  Amy LopezAug 27, 2025
  If the steam wand on your Qilive Coffee Maker isn't producing froth, make sure you've pressed the Steam button and that it's not blinking; also, check that the Steam Control knob isn't in the off position. Use a slim, tall frothing jug with a diameter of at least 7 cm, and avoid using skimmed milk; opt for whole or semi-skimmed milk instead.

  If the single and double-cup buttons on your Qilive Coffee Maker blink quickly, it means 215 ml of hot water has been dispensed and the machine needs to reset. Turn the steam control knob to the OFF position.

  Michael CannonSep 6, 2025
  If the single or double-cup button blink quickly on your Qilive Coffee Maker, the boiler temperature is too high. To resolve this, turn the steam control knob to the position to dispense the hot water. When the temperature goes down, the pump will stop automatically. Then turn the steam control knob to the OFF position.

Why is there rust on the metal parts of my Qilive Coffee Maker?

  If there is rust on the metal parts of your Qilive Coffee Maker, it's likely because the descaler used was not suitable for espresso machines or was too strong, causing corrosion. Use a commercially available descaler specifically designed for espresso machines.
