My Batista is very slow to pump out an espresso. Can I repair the pump

Hello Jellybean100,

To set you up on the positive mindset, “you do a little dance and then you drink a little water”. (RHCP) ?

More seriously, if your coffee is spouting out more slowly than expected, it may be due to the coffee beans used. Try grinding the coffee beans more coarsely.

If the pump has been idle for a while it may become "airlocked" and not work.

• With the pump running alternatively turn the steam knob on and off.
• You can use a turkey baster/ear bulb or similar item to force the pump to prime. Fill the bulb with water and insert it into the water hose. With the pump running, squeeze water into the hose until the water flows easily. Then turn off the pump and place the hose into the filled water tank and resume priming.
• (Starbucks Barista Troubleshooting).

Now, if you've already walked that path unsuccessfully, to replace the pump, head over here: Starbucks Barista Pump Replacement

Hope that you'll be successful ??

Happy Tuesday ?
