Baldrick would resort to sticking the capsule in his mouth and pouring hot water through it. I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes....

We had a similar problem with a build up of water deposits. Not saying it's dirty but a clean and a rebuild may do the job Monty-2015 2.2 110 XS Puma Station Wagon

Yes, will always give something a second chance before binning. It's leaking into the body, so may well be the build up you mention blocking the pipes!! To be tackled later.... Monsieur Le Grenadier

Baldrick used mud I believe, just avoid the froth on top

I run a sachet of Oust through mine every month/6 weeks, it really cleans out the limescale well (be sure to flush it through well after though!)
was recommended to me by the local Starbucks chap that I know, they use it in their store machines when the proper starbucks supplied stuff runs out. Makes the machine perform like new again... it's amazing how slow the flow gets gradually.  Click image to enlarge |

one should always have at least 3 ways of making coffee... you need to plan for triple redundancy !
I have 3 x Bialetti, 2 x cafetiere and for absolute emergencies a tin of instant Azera coffee |

Diesel Jim - Excellent tip - used the oust at the weekend and rescued my machine from the brink of failure.
Cheers!! |

Mmm Once you get used to the taste it's quite nice. I've had 3 sachets this morning. I feel 30 years younger
Might pop some in the truck  |

That is a shocker
Pop out to Macdonalds? For 1.19 they serve a surprisingly good cup of coffee and much better than anything instant (especially if you like it black). |
