Gaggenau Coffee System Not Brewing
Brew faults split cleanly into scale and mechanical wear, and descaling only addresses one of them. Here is how to tell which you have.
Common Causes
Mineral scale buildup
Hard water affects the brew group and internal lines the same way it affects any espresso machine.
A worn brew group or pump
The mechanical heart of the machine wears with regular use.
A clogged grinder or water line
Restricts flow and can affect both brewing and grinding performance.
Local conditions that matter here
Boiling point here is closer to 202°F than 212°F, which changes how anything that steams or boils behaves. A steam cycle that never seems to finish is often altitude rather than fault.
