What to do if my Sunbeam EMM2900 is not pouring coffee?
- M
  Mary NelsonAug 20, 2025
  If no coffee is pouring from your Sunbeam Coffee Maker, there might be several reasons: * The water tank may be empty. Fill it with water and run the machine without a filter basket to prime it. * The group head could be blocked. Refer to the descaling section on page 27. * The dual wall filter baskets could be blocked. Use a pin to unblock the filter basket. * The coffee grounds might be too fine or tamped too hard. Empty the filter basket, rinse it, and refill with grinds, tamping properly. * The thermoblock may need cooling. Turn the dial to HOT WATER until hot water comes out, then return the dial to the OFF position.

  If the coffee from your Sunbeam Coffee Maker pours out in drips, it may be over-extracted. This can happen because: * The grinds are too fine. Try changing to a coarser grind. * The coffee is tamped too hard. Tamp the grinds more lightly. * The machine has scale build-up. Refer to the Descaling section on page 27.

Why doesn't my Sunbeam Coffee Maker espresso have crema?
- K
  Kerry NelsonSep 3, 2025
  If your espresso from the Sunbeam Coffee Maker does not have any crema, here are a few possible causes: * The beans may be old, or the pre-ground grinds may be dry. Use fresh beans and grinds, and store pre-ground grinds in an airtight container. * The grinds may not be compacted enough. Tamp more firmly. * The grinds may be too coarse. Use a finer grind coffee.

Why is my Sunbeam EMM2900 filling cups unevenly?
