I have a strange problem and I just can't see my way out of it anymore. I've tried everything I can think of and have taken it apart so many times the last few days I've lost count. So now I'm inviting ideas.
The basic problem is that the machine does not make coffee. I don't use milk, so just plain black coffee. It grinds the beans and draws the water but nothing comes out into the cup. Instead, the water ends up in the drip tray and the ground coffee ends up in the catcher, dry as a bone. However, if I choose just hot water that comes through fine.
I have replaced the drainage unit and I have also cleaned out the valve just after the water heater as well as the pipe that runs from there into the drainage unit. The valve was completely blocked with calcium, so I thought I'd fixed the problem but alas not.
The brewing unit seems fine, but I must have taken this apart a dozen times already. As I mentioned, the coffee grounds are dry, so no water is getting into the brewing unit. I stripped it and cleaned it, I even removed the valve and disconnected the pipe at the top of the brewing unit to see if the water would overflow from there but it didn't really make any difference.
What can I do next? I'd be grateful for any ideas.
