Argh!! Please descale your espresso machines especially if you’re using a single hole basket for your puck! Single hole baskets are generally used to increase the effective pressure the machine can produce at the puck of coffee. This also however means that there is a single hole that blocks everything if it gets clogged with scale!

Ran a descaling routine on the inside of the machine and soaked the basket in some descaler and gave it a good rinse out and works like a charm.
