Symptom: coffee flows out very slowly, coffee/water leaks through the machine.
This can be caused by a blocked spout, clogged with coffee residue built up over time.
This guide shows how to clean the Nespresso's spout.

Thanks, @farmyardgaming for cleaning up my grammar!
Anytime, I'm glad I could help!
Is it possible to change the o rings of the brew units?
Hi Martin, I am not sure which o rings you refer to. Can you be more specific (photo perhaps)?
Zeer fijn van deze info al gedaan en is terug in orde ok dank u.Marcel
This worked for me. The spout was clogged up with dried coffee and metal residue from the pods… Thank you for the guide @altijdell
Glad it helped!
In my experience, 9 out of 10 times cleaning solves the leakage, but the design does not allow you to clean the spout without taking the Nespresso apart :-(
