No espresso When I start the machine, it warms up properly and after the lcd shows it ready, I select the numbre of cups I want. Unfortunately, the machine only pumps a small amount of expresso and I have to start over again. It takes a number of cycles in order to get a fulol up of espresso

I had the same problem and found out that the flow meter was not working. The control unit was not getting flow information and after about 5-10 seconds it will just stop and blink all the lights. I replaced the flow meter and solved the problem. The flow meter is located between the water tank and the pump.
Thanks, same problem were with my coffe machine. If someone else have similar problem this is procedure how to test if flow meter is cause: Open coffe machine and pull out flow meter (do not disconnect it, just unscrew it from housing), prepare any magnet (neodimium magnet if possible), press the button to start making coffe. Coffe machine will start, then stop for a second, then start again. When it starts again put magnet close to flow meter's contacts and then move the magnet away and keep repeating that moves very fast. If coffe machine is working fine then you have to replace flow meter.Thanks, same problem were with my coffe machine.

I have exactly the same problem with my XP2070. Your info was helpful and I'll go to the local Krups service center to check it out. Thank you.I have exactly the same problem with my XP2070. Your info was helpful and I'll go to the local Krups service center to check it out. Thank you.
I consider myself to be fairly handy (wired my kitchen/bath, etc...) but this is not an easy thing to replace. Removed the back panel, then the bottom panel. Had a tough time getting to 1 screw that held the flow meter in. The side panel was in the way and I couldn't figure out how to take it off without breaking it. Used a very small flat head screw driver (from eye glass repair kit) and small pliers (to grasp and turn it) to remove the screw. Took about 2 hours to get it out and replaced, however it took 2 more to re-assemble the damn thing. I recommend patience, a sound proof room so no one hears you curse and take pictures as you go for reference.Flow meter: http://www.smallappliance.com/product.asp?pid=13677&cur=USD&sid=18956&gid=18960&pfor=2869&shopBy=Category I consider myself to be fairly handy (wired my kitchen/bath, etc...) but this is not an easy thing to replace.
