How to fix Silvercrest Coffee Maker when espresso no longer flows out?

  Derek JamesAug 12, 2025
  If the espresso no longer flows out of your Silvercrest Coffee Maker, it might be because the espresso powder is too moist or compressed too tightly. Try re-preparing the espresso without compressing the powder as firmly, and if needed, use new powder. Also, ensure that the water tank is filled with water. If the holes of the sieve holder are blocked, clean the sieve holder.
