Hello, A friend just gave me this coffee machine. Supposedly her parents had only used it a couple of times, so it was like new. Every time I try making coffee (the same way I've always done), for some reason it takes way too long compared to every other espresso machine I've owned and all the steam goes out in the top, where you have the actual coffee, so by the time it's finished there's only a few drops of coffee syrup-like. Am I putting too much coffee that it prevents the water from draining through tthe coffeee grounds? Could someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it?

When you ran the cleaning cycle did you use the Krups cleaning tabs?

It needs a new flow meter. I replaced the one in mine and now it works fine. I took the old one apart and the little magnet inside is a ferrite magnet which rusts over time when it comes in contact with water ( duh). If the new one does this I am going to just replace the little magnet with a rare-earth magnet which will cost about $1 or less and shouldn't rust out. I am wondering if the company changed the magnet in the new flow meter so this doesn't happen or if planned obsellesants, just last long enough to get it out of warranty, is the company's motto. The new flow meter was around $30 when the added the $9 for shipping.
