The machine does not provide foam at the end of the cycle. Any idea why?

Hi Joseph: Sorry for the late reply. I believe foam (or the hot milk) is something which the pod manufacturer has in the pod itself. I purchase my Senseo pads from Amazon - the brand is D-E and they come from the Netherlands. A bag comes with 48 "koffiepads". These pods produce a small amount of foam. To make a cup of coffee, and get a nice head of foam, I first heat some milk in my coffee cup in the microwave, then add coffee from the Senseo machine.

I would investigate the kinds of pods that you are using for your coffee. I have only had a top of the line espresso machine for the last 14 years- and this mere `coffee maker' matches in its' crema! I use the melitta or the actual Senseo brand. I tried making my own and the crema was still there... but not as thick. By the way... the crema is not made at the end it is seamingly made throughout the discharge of brewing. I LOVE this machine.

This was one of the first auto coffee pots with pods. It was prior to the froth in the cappuccino machines that are made now but you can get a froth for foam they sell separately for coffee. Its a great Coffee pot and is always hot

Sorry but I do not know. We have owned 2 and both produced the foam. Sounds like a mechanical malfunction. At the end if the cycle you should hear a swishing sound which is when the foam is produced.

I no longer own a Senseo but when I first bought mine when they first came into this countryback in 1999 ($60) and used Senseo pods (only 3 flavors then) I did get a bit of foam. Not the foamyou would expect if you get an expresso at a shoppe. The Senseo does press the coffee under highpressure some foam always appeared. Cheap Trick Pour cold skim milk into a small jar with a capa shake it up good and you will get the best foam. Put the jar in the freezer for a few minutes andmake sure the milk is cold. Good Luck

Be sure to check all the pieces (caps, hoses, etc.) are completely attached. If there's a gap anywhere there won't be enough suction for the machine to function properly. You could also verify that the diaphragms don't have and flaws. If they are damaged at all you'll need to replace them to ensure proper function. Otherwise, try playing with the settings, if you haven't already, to see if they'll help at all.

There is a valve on the end of the small line coming out of the foam inlet. You can adjust the flow there and it will help with the micro bubbles. I find mine works best and skims awesome if part of the foam inlet is sticking out of the water! I never got any skimming by completely submerging the foam inlet, but if part of it sticks out of the water it skims like crazy. The key is getting the little valve adjusted just right for it to pull enough to skim without the micro bubbles. Keep adjusting and it will work I promise !

I need to know the same thing because my bottle didn't foam up at all. Very disappointed

A little confused by the question...... all you do is put in your product, attach and turn on the hose, then "pull the trigger", the nozzle creates the foam. (You do have to insert the small filter syphon tube into the bottom of the gun that pulls the water & soap to the nozzle), that may be what you've not done or are missing a part? I hope this helps(?), let me know.

I tried with Almond Milk from the Fresh Market (house brand), I used the big round device and turn on the froth bottom. It created a lot of foam. I hope you get good result.

You need to provide an air compressor of some kind. I've heard about some success using a bike pump but an electric air compressor will provide the best results

Ours isn't circulating either. We filled to the water line and have a slight bubbling, but it barely works. Suggestions?

I had the same problem too. I used my air compressor and just stuck the end in the hole and stuck a rag around in the hole to clog it. It took me about 30 min. to get the thing inflated,but I finally got it.Hope this helps you out.

In my experience, sometimes the machine walks around sometimes it doesn't. It doesn't matter what I am putting in it. It may have something to do with pulp displacement.

I guess there's some foam on occasion, but nothing crazy. I didn't know foam was a problem. What's wrong with foam?

Have you tried filling it over the max level? Mine always made some noise, but as long as it was full it was more quiet. I'm sure that you already tried cleaning it and everything else that I would think of... Good luck!

If the machine is working: lights are on, buttons work, and no leaking from other parts; then I would agree with the other posts. It could just be a clog in the nozzle. When I use the steamer/frother I make sure to take it apart and clean it really well. It can be a bit of a hassle, but it is surprising how much milk gets in the nozzle.

Hi C23, how did u finally resolve this issue, or did U?I see others suggested the foam inside was likely impeding the flow into the reservoir. I see 1 person took it out, added oil, then put it back in - a good idea as I think its needed to prevent oil from outflowing too fast... Hope u found a solution!

I put a mattress pad on it. It will keep the foam clean longer. I suppose you wouldn't have to. But I do

Yes, The foam stays for a long time. Sometimes it is just too much and I have to pour it away.

Your problem is most likely that you don't have sufficient air pressure to feed the bubble wand. I have an air flow control valve on my line and when the air flow is restricted (Reducing pressure to the wand) it only bubbles from afew spots.
