My new Venezia is very loud when brewing, is this normal? Much louder than my old Starbucks Barrrista (same machine),

Noticed and wondered the same thing. Evidently the answer is yes. I've used mine since early December and am now used to it. It still works great.

This is by no means a silent machine, but I never found the sound to be abnormally loud. Mine was a moderate level of sound.

I have owned 3 Via Venezias. And I owned a couple of Barristas before that. I have had ones that are fairly noisy, and ones that do more a humming thing. Can't explain it. It's a little quieter when the water level is higher in the tank. I've just gotten used to it. If someone is sleeping in the guest room, I'll throw a folded towel over the machine to muffle it some. Most of the time, it's not a problem.

In theory you could create 9 bar (130 PSI) using a dual lever set-up. Don't confuse the flow rate the coffee exits the machine with the pressure inside the machine as it is misleading and not a good indicator. I enjoy the espresso this machine produces I just wish I could make it hot with less preparatory work.

I never change it. We have made over 4,000 cups (mostly Espresso Lungo) since new. I don't remember changing it from the factory setting, pointing at the fourth dot. Works like a champ.

I fear that your espresso machine has probably run its course. You might try running a descaler through it (very cheap at Morrissons) in case it's just scaled up. Failing that, you'll have to replace it.

I have not had to clean mine yet, due to the water we have (very few minerals in it), but when brewing a bussing sound is normal, but this unit is suppose to shut off in 90 or so seconds after brewing a cup of coffee. Which means the blue indicator lights that you have on the unit that blink after you brew a cup will stop flashing , and you would need to press the on button again to turn the unit on before you can brew another cup. In short, if the lights don't go off, you have a problem, and if they do, the unit would not be able to overheat because it would be off. Hope that helps. Also, if you have cleaned the unit, you likely opened up the cap that gives you access to the water filter section, I do know that if that has not been put back on correctly, the unit will be very loud, and not function properly (wife when she first used it thought that was were the water was poured into, and didn't get it back on correctly), the way the marking are for lock/unlock really do not line up correctly, so you have to make sure you secure it back on correctly.

It's very loud when frothing and when cleaning after frothing (required every time you use it)...my family can hear it in their bedrooms down a long hall from the kitchen when I make coffee in the AM, and you can't do anything else in the room while frothing or cleaning as it's too loud to hear anything but the coffee machine.

Machine always makes some noise. Maybe go to nespresso.com and find a place to see a demo first so you know what to expect.

I see that others have already answered, but I did want to put in my opinion, for what it's worth! I love this machine. I have a Keurig at work and we have one that sits in the garage, unused. I like full bodied coffee and I feel the Keurig, for me, doesn't fit the bill. It's fine for that second cup when I get to work, but the Verismo makes espresso and regular coffee, depending on the pods. It makes coffee that tastes as good, or better, than my very expensive Saeco espresso machine. I know Keurig is all the thing now, but I feel the coffee can be weak and tasteless. Just my opinion! I've had my Verismo for a year now and I still sing its praises!

This is a question that might be very personal. I consider the sound loud, but certainly not annoying. The machine works very well, so you have to consider if another machine that is quieter will work as well. Hopefully this answered your question.

it's just like a keurig when it gets to the end of the brewing process and pushes out the last of the hot water it can be loud in a very quiet environment. it's only a few seconds, but could be disturbing to some folks, I suppose.

I think the machine is just noisy... If the coffee is not coming out that easily.. Try unscrewing the strainer in the espresso cup and cleaning out the tiny hole in it... Also, perhaps you're packing the espresso too tightly?

I find that remove from heat immediately after finished brewing (as soon as you hear gurgling noise) helps. I brew mine on high heat... Don't know if that helps. It could also be the coffee. I use a Phil's

In our case, we have never had that problem. Other than it being louder than our Keurig, we've been very happy with the unit. My advice would be to exchange it, but not return it. When you get the pods directly from the CBTL brick and mortar store, at $.60 a piece, this machine is a joy and a great value.

Mine isn't that loud, besides it brews the coffee so fast i don't even notice it! I mean that's like asking Why is the microwave so loud..

The sound of brewing is fairly muted, but at the end you hear a series of bubbles. That sound kicks in a Pavlovian response inducing me to satisfy my caffeine need as quickly as possible.

I don't know what to tell you...I'm frustrated mine is acting up...it just gives hot water, ZERO espresso, something is not working. I wouldn't buy another Krups again, that's for sure.

hi chris. my coffeemaker doesn't seem to vibrate loudly. i have noticed that if you put the cone with the coffee in before sliding in the carafe it seats itself better. there seems to be a little ridge at about 11:00 so if you pop in the cone and then turn it slightly to the left it kind of locks the cone down. you'll notice that the carafe slides in smoothly if the cone is is locked down. my husband did not do this the first time he made the coffee and it made a bit of a mess. it could be vibrating if it isn't seated right. i wasn't home to hear it but got to clean it up. :)
