Lavazza minu machines get stuck because the pressure release pipe becomes clogged. The mechanism that pierces the capsules in these be machines is powered by water pressure. Water is pumped at pressure into the mechanism causing the pins to drop down and pierce the capsule (like a hydraulic ram but using water as the hydraulic fluid. If the machine furrs up and blocks, the pressure cannot escape after dispensing finishes, the hydraulic ram stays pushed down. This locks the capsule drawer in! The fix is to run strong decaler solution through the machine until the blockage clears, the pressure is released, and the mechanism can release properly again!
