Damn thing must be over 20 years old. Everything turned on but no water flowed out of the reservoir. I could hear the pump going. So I unplugged it and took the bottom off. I pulled the plastic hose going from the reservoir to the pump and hooked up a baster of hot water and forced it into the pump. It either loosened a valve or primed it either way it started pumping. Put it back together and ran the system with no grinds to clean everything out. Then I made a demitasse of espresso. mmmn

Iced Double Espresso at 5am is weird but tasty. I can't have any hot liquids for a few more days until the surgical site at the back of my mouth heals.

now I need to fine tune the grind. first batch was smooth but a tad weak had the grind set for the upper end of fine. second batch was just a little too fine and brought out some bitterness. going to set the grinder in the middle of the two other choices and see how it comes out tomorrow morning

The one thing I am enjoying about the Krups is that I have steaming espresso in just the time it takes to fill the filter and tamp it down and put the handle in the machine. That rocks at 3am
