When coffee stops at one Magnifica Evo spout or emerges unevenly, the official first check is the visible outlet opening. Clean only the accessible deposit, then use a rinse to judge the result.
A single blocked spout usually produces an asymmetric stream while the pump and second outlet still work. No flow from either side can have a broader cause, so do not keep ordering coffees: cancel the cycle, let the machine finish, inspect the two visible holes in good light and compare the next rinse rather than pushing a tool deep into the dispenser.
Follow the checks in order and change only one condition at a time. Run a short rinse or test after each action, so the result identifies the cause instead of hiding it. The procedures below stay within the cleaning, refitting and user-menu operations described by the manufacturer.
Safety first
- Switch the machine off, unplug it and let hot-water, steam and metal parts cool before removing or cleaning a component. Never open the casing.
What the symptom may indicate
Checks in the right order
- Cancel and let the machine settle
Cancel the stalled drink, wait for the machine to finish its movement, then switch it off normally and let the dispenser cool.
- Inspect both visible holes
Use good light and a clean cloth to remove loose residue from the outside. Compare the two openings before inserting only the blunt toothpick method allowed by De'Longhi.
- Run one rinse
Power on, place a wide cup below both spouts and run the normal rinse. An even water pattern confirms that the visible restriction has cleared.
Stop and get qualified help when
- Stop if the dispenser is cracked, hot liquid escapes behind the outlet, the pump sounds strained with no rinse flow, or cleaning the visible holes does not restore both streams.
Next step
Repair, replace a part, or arrange a diagnosis?
Use the checks and stop conditions above to choose the least costly safe next step. A symptom alone never proves that the appliance has failed.
Resolve it without buying anything
Complete the 3 safe checks in order. If normal operation returns and no warning sign remains, no replacement is indicated.
Replace only the confirmed part
If the checks isolate a worn or blocked component, match its complete reference to the exact appliance model before ordering.
This guide does not identify a replacement part. Do not order a generic component from the symptom alone.
Arrange a diagnosis before replacing the appliance
Stop at any warning sign listed above. A qualified diagnosis should confirm that repair is unsafe, unavailable or uneconomical before an appliance replacement is considered.
