KRUPS EA8298 Cappuccino System: Milk Frothing Issue, Cleaning, Descaling & Service Options

Hello
I have had this machine for a month and so far everything was OK. The Cappuccino system has not frothed milk for several days. I did the cleaning and descaling according to the display's instructions. I am asking for help, because I do not know if I should have it serviced.

Hello.
Probably the so-called: clutch (this is the element to which the jug with milk to be frothed is connected, this clutch looks like a knot) Please take a flashlight and look inside this clutch. There should be a small hole in the center (if you can't see it, maybe the clutch is clogged. A small, thin needle may help, but be careful not to damage the outlet diameter. Also, please check that the seals on this clutch are OK. Regards.

I have exactly the same problem with Krups EA8298. It does not foam, everything is clean, laboratory clean, and yet there is no foam. How do I put on the nozzles and the cup base, it foams, but the capucinno kit is not anymore, what can it be?

... but not a set for capucinno, what could it be?

We take the lid of the foaming cup apart .. No screws, everything pulls out beautifully for cleaning ..

We wash thoroughly under water and most importantly - There will be a metal "mushroom" with a tiny hole there - A real challenge here .. This hole will be blocked for sure and you need to unblock it The problem will probably go away.

..I cleaned it 3 times, no changes, milk is running, no foam

Have you found a "metal mushroom" with a tiny hole? I am 100% sure this buttonhole is clogged.

We take the lid of the foaming cup apart .. No screws, everything pulls out beautifully for cleaning ..

This mushroom consists of a rubber and a metal part. The rubber band has no problem with locating and cleaning the hole. Is it a metal part?

Thank you very much for this topic and help, after cleaning the micro-holes in the metal part of the mushroom, the machine works like new.

Is it possible that the density of the froth is influenced by the milk itself? I have washed all these parts several times. Mushroom the same. The buttonhole is definitely not clogged. Low frothed milk. Full of resignation, I poured Łaciate 3.2 milk into a mug. Foam! I do not understand. I guess it didn't make any difference before.
And one more question - doesn't it matter which way the hole in this mushroom is facing?

Of course it does ...
In fact, when you buy milk in a store, you are not sure how much milk is in the milk.
The buttonhole does not matter in its position.
The temperature of the milk also influences the milk foam a lot.

Where's that hole in the elastic band ????

For me, even with the help of a nozzle, it does not foam. At the end of the whole process, it makes a lot of noise ... The opening in the clutch is not blocked. Should I go to the website?

Hello, I also have a problem with the krups, instead of milk there is only steam from the cappuccino set. This "metal" mushroom is inside that black lid or where? Because what is so "easy" to disassemble is only plastic elements. There is no bolt etc but I wouldn't want to break something apart to break it in half. Maybe someone can explain what, where and how?

I found an element that solved the problem described here - I hope it will be useful to someone.

It is enough to disassemble the elements of the milk container lid (those that need to be rinsed with water every now and then) and then use the plastic element (black long - to unscrew the cap located in the middle of the lid) - it is not very clear, but it appears in the instructions item 42 Unscrewed element should be pushed through with a wire and rinsed.

After a month of use, my coffee machine stopped frothing the milk, I was about to go to the service ... luckily, everything is already working :)

Regarding the posts on milk - - the milk can be of any type and straight from the fridge - I'm always foaming, so solve the problem and do not focus on the quality and temperature of the milk.

Greetings,

Model as in the subject. I did according to your advice. I found a metal mushroom and the needle pushed through the mini-hole, which was completely clogged, that it was completely invisible (the hole is inside such a cavity). I also took off the rubber cap and cleaned the mushroom inside. The machine is frothing the milk again. Thank you very much and regards.

Hello

I raise the topic because I have the same problem.

The Krups EA8298 coffee machine does not froth milk and takes very little of it from the container.

In the link below, there is a recording of how it behaves while preparing a cappuccino (an example from the Internet is similar to me)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0BuVYdbQ0o

Of course, I cleaned everything possible many times according to the instructions and in accordance with this video in the link below
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbNoK8OFEII

I am asking for help, what may be wrong, what I missed.
The coffee machine is only 4 months old.

I would like to join the question, I have had the Krups EA8298 Maker for a few days, I have exactly the same symptom, The machine does not froth the milk, but "hisses" with steam. The symptoms are the same as in the video above. At first it seemed that we put something together incorrectly in the Capucino set, but unfortunately, after many attempts, nothing helped. The freshwater coffee machine has never been used, and the milk is poured only at the bottom of the glass. Everything is washed many times, cleaned, disassembled and washed - no positive effect. Maybe someone will help?

If it is not foaming, only steam hisses, you probably have the cappuccino-rinse switch slightly raised, I had it in the new one. After a year, I stopped foaming, and I have a Teflon mushroom, not a metal one, and I can't find a hole in it too much, the eraser has a hole for it.

Could you post a picture or drawing where is the hole? For me, the mushroom is Teflon, not metal, and I can't even see the magnifier. I found in the eraser but in the mushroom no gosh.
It's OK now. I did not find the hole, so I did it myself, I blew and it is too big, aaaa but it foams

The coffee machine is only 4 months old.

The coffee machine came back from the service. They replaced the foaming valve with a new one, i.e. this element with a rubber plug
It works for now.


It's a bit strange because the old valve was not open and everything was fine with it.

Could someone shed a picture of this mushroom? I bought an auto capucino 6000 set on the Internet. 3rd place worked flawlessly, now something is messed up once foam once warm milk is flowing anyone knows how to drain it? Is that mushroom there too?

I conclude that the expres is great, and the frother is a pile. I still have miracles of wreaths with a frother, now mainly steam is pounding and does not suck milk, all very clean, pretty. The only thing I figured out was that you can always insert the steam nozzles and turn on the cleaning of the cappuccino set and put a cup of milk. The cycle goes twice, so it will do the trick to froth the milk EA8298 has no nozzle foaming, so it's always a way out.

The same model. So this clogging part is in this cup? If so, how to recreate it? Latches does it unscrew? Or is it the one of those (retractable) parts that are discussed in pictures 35-46 in the manual. How to recreate it?

This can not be opened anymore ... The only thing that is possible to unscrew the nozzles with a special key that is included in the set. The second important element is the part that you cannot see because it has been removed, you need to remove the rubber from the plastic and there is this tiny element in the form of a mushroom that is supposed to let the air flow in one direction.

So if I cleaned all the removable parts, where can I look for the fault?

I have the same, everything is cleaned, and it froths as it pleases. I only noticed that the first time after removing from the refrigerator is OK.

I have almost no foam at all. Shouldn't that hole in this mushroom be bigger? And it shouldn't be cleaned with the wire included in the set? Now it is smaller, it looks like it has a manufacturing defect?

I am assuming that this hole cannot be too large, because then it will not suck in milk. The wire for the wire is enough, I made a bigger one, I think the milk was flying, my way to froth the milk, I use the cleaning function of the cappuccino set, you can combine without canceling, but if it's okay, two latte coffees come out

Maybe it will be useful to someone
If the machine does not froth milk, check:
1 if the mentioned mushroom is not clogged, dirty (do not forcefully pierce the hole at the top because it will take too much air and will not pull the milk, you can gently remove the rubber and clean inside)
2 check that the nozzle in the frother block is unobstructed (the block is the large element that has the silver lever, the nozzle is unscrewed with a special hexagonal key attached to the coffee machine, the nozzle directly adjoins the removable element in which the mentioned mushroom is located)
3 descaling is the basis 40 g of citric acid in warm water dissolve or professional agents according to the instructions
4 you should regularly disassemble and clean the spoiler and rinse it after finishing work


My coffeemaker, clean, well-kept, stopped foaming so suddenly, I decalcified, washed and nothing ... Today, on the gland, I cleaned the mushroom inside with an ear stick and the nozzle (point 1 and point 2) and it worked.
