Re:Broken Barista Athena?? - 2008/02/06 16:40 "If you left any water whatsoever in it when you boxed it up, that water would have mixed with the aluminum in the boiler to create enough grit to plug up the brew head."

Well that could be the culprit. When I opened the wand knob for the very first time today I got maybe a tablespoonful of water out, then a little steam, then nothing. Surely that was old water left in the machine. But not a drop of water has come out of the brew part.

And, yes, once that initial bit of water came out that was it. As of now, NO water comes out when knob is open and brew switch is pressed. WAAAHHHH.

Perhaps you will think of something else. Otherwise I guess it may be time to shop for a new machine.

Thanks again.
