Yikes! My day cannot start with a cappuccino. You might need to look up parts for your specific machine. Check espressoparts.com or the Chris Coffee webstore. When I have something really stubborn, I usually call Chris Coffee and one of their technicians tells me how to check for faults. My espresso machine (a La Spaziele Vivaldi) is now 14 years old, runs 24-7, and has needed a few repairs in that time--all solved by advice and parts from Chris Coffee.

I got the parts the other day... so it should be hopefully easy to repair! It's only a worn o-ring after all... hopefully!
Luckily, I also enjoy a black coffee as well... so I can go strong fora few days... but it isn't quite the same!
