How to unclog a Nespresso Pixie coffee machine

How I unclogged the obstructed spout on our Nespresso Pixie coffee machine, made by DeLonghi. The pump was working, water pumped into the reservoir, but wouldn't come out the spout. Easy fix in 5 minutes.

Bingo! Worked like a charm. Thanks a million! I have the exact same machine and it’s 12 years old and still going strong….now that I’ve followed your simple instructions. I descale every six months (I only brew one lungo cup a day), but I may increase that now just to keep it happy.

Hi, I'm from Brazil. This is the most straightforward and helpful video I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you!

You’re a genius, I was getting ready to throw my machine away but I followed your instructions and now it works perfectly. Thank you

I was about to dismantle my Nespresso Citiz (TUR mix TX 170) by looking at how-to videos, when I spotted your short explanation: it just worked and spared me a lot of time. Thanks a lot for sharing!

I am so glad I found this video!
My Nespresso Pixie had a only dripped instead of having a steady stream through the spout, and the coffee would come out very watery with barely any crema. Also, I could see a lot of water dripping at the back into the container where the capsules fall after the extraction.
I was scared to do it, thinking I would ruin the machine... But I tried it and now it works as good as new! No dripping at the back and a steady stream through the spout!
Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you so much! My machine wasn't used in so many years, I thought it wouldn't work any more and get rid of it, but I tried to do this video and now I'm in the couch enjoying a cup of coffee thanks to you 😊

Very useful video. I had just watched one where they took the whole machine apart so was happy to give this one a try. Just like in your video, lots on gunk came out and now the machine is working great. Thank you for your time puting this out here.

[kostasdigas]

Well done my friend ! You saved me from having to go buy new ones.

You are a freaking genius, you just saved my 5 year old coffee machine! Thank you, and much love from a grateful portuguese!

Great simple fix. Thanks for sharing. I had contemplated disassembling as shown in other YouTube video's to clean mechanism from the other end which is difficult and complicated to access. Once you understand the basic engineering (or plumbing) involved, it's such an obvious fix. I also used a metal wire to facilitate clearing and unclogging of the nozzle - not sure if this was necessary. I also did a descale as suggested by one of the other comments. Worked for me. Works as good as new.

Game-changer, I tried so many things, and this fixed the problem first time!

Thank you, I have a 5 year old Nespresso pixie clips and it worked. The cups are getting 50% more water now (tested without capsules).
