When I went to remove the portafilter from the machine, the basket/filter remained stuck in the machine. I hope I'm using the correct terminology. How can I get it out? Thanks!
The filter is stuck on the group head of the machine only by the force of dry coffee which acts like glou and since on the portafilter is secure by a wire spring which is probably loose and couldent hold the filter in place.
So all you need is a pointing screwdriver with edge like a nail or similar and use it on the filter try to level it out and by a little force try to move it and get unstuck. After that you can clean also the coffee remaining's on group head also.
In order to avoid this in future you will have to clean the portafilter from machine after you will make a coffee, replace the portafilter spring with a new one and clean the grouhead and grouphead gasket often with grouphead brush. You may need also to buy cleaning grouphead powder and backwash blid filter to perform backwash frequent. All these cleaning and parts you can easily find in eBay.

I had exact same problemeven took entire machine apart - all fine. Solution is very simple... descale with Gaggi descaler solution. Remove filter and block, mix solution with 1.5L of water, turn on for 20 seconds, wait 20 rinse through steamer, wait 3 minutes and repeat until all solution used - rinse compeletly with clean water

The only thing that comes to mind is that the machine is in steam/hot water mode. Unless you replace the switch and turn off the steam light so that it sends the water to the correct location. Also you might want to remove the shower screen and make sure it is clean.
Testimonial: "Thank you very much for your quick response. I've ordered the steam switch. "

Never mind! I panicked!! I ran some hot water through which loosened the coffee. I should have taken it out before it dried up. Sorry for the bother!
