Does the machine need to be primed each day before its first use?

4 months in I have not, I did not see this outlined as a need in the users manual. So I guess the answer is no.

Our Gaggia Platinum Vision Swing needs to be primed every few months when we change the water filter.If you don't have a water filter in your model then I would say no.

Not that I am aware of on our unit. I have come back after what I believe to substantially longer than 9 minutes and the machine is still ready to go... lights on and ready to brew

Yes. Of course like any pump it will need to be primed with water. May I ask your concern?

My machine is just great. Amazon prime shipping well worth it. Takes about three hours to unpack and assemble.

directions say to prime it, and it is easy enough using access cap on top of the machine.

As far as I know, only the Luminess make-up made for the machine can be used. I think other make-ups would clog the specially made internal mechanics. The Luminess make-up is very good, matte. And the "primer" works as a moisturizer. Hope this helps. I use mine nearly every day. Enjoy!

Pump has to be primed, sometimes multiple times depending on length of intake hose. Air in the intake line will "unprime" it and you will need to prime it until all air is out, then should pump fine.

I am thinking that the pump might be self priming, but the first time it primes I had to let it go for 30 minutes. Now the only question is, how do I know if I am getting full pressure? I am suspicious that I am not since the coffee seems a bit week.

Follow JohnG's advice. Just insert/remove the water tank a few times to prime. Works like a champ.

I'm with L. Sampson...the very first thing to do is prime the machine according to the instructions in the manual. The machine will not work if this has not been done.

Yes, it comes ready to use. This is the only brand and model I purchase for our company!

The filter does NOT have to be primed. However, after it is installed, you must run at least a gallon of water through it. Be careful while running that gallon as the high water pressure may cause it to splash for a few seconds.

Yes, you prime it initially to start the suction and then continue to pump in order to remove the water. The water comes out fast and strong once primed.

You can, but even thow it says "doesn't need primed", I did have to prime mine with water before it would pump.

There is an internal water tank that must be "primed" on the first use. The only reason for the internal tank is to pre-heat water for the next cup while one is brewing. About 14-16oz? As soon as you remove the head to put coffee in (after a long time) the internal tank starts heating. For subsequent cups the water will be pre-heated in the unit (after a hours or so it turns the temp down).For daily use, the procedure is fill the cup you are using to the level you want, pour it in, and brew (first brew wait a bit till water heats). The amount of water you put in is the amount you get out (up to a max of 14oz or so The travel mugs I use fill nicely). There is an internal water tank that must be "primed" on the first use.

You prime it by pumping several times. Hold a cup underneath. It is generally recommended to put it half way in, pump until primed, then put I the rest of the way and screw it on.
