Capsule holder drawer stuck in Minù Caffè Latte machine The pod drawer in my Lavazza coffee machine (model: LM600) is jammed.

I tried to pull it really hard, I tried to pry it open. I even gave a few strikes in hopes whatever is keeping it shut will shift inside. All for nothing.

I dismantled it partially, took a peek inside and retreated - with all the water tubing, that would be a major operation.

Any suggestions how to fix it?
Descaling was the answer!


I mixed some vinegar with water in the tank (~1:1 ratio).
I turned the dial to the dispensing positing, allowed some descaling solution to go through the machine.
I turned the machine off and left it for a few minutes.
I repeated steps 2 and 3 a few times.


At some point during the process, I heard a click inside - the lock that holds the drawer during brewing came unstuck and I was now able to pull the drawer out.
