I have a 3.5 year old EM5600 that is on its second pump (dont get me started on how long that took to get!). I replaced the pump myself and it has been going OK for 3 months or so since I did that.
But now I seem to be suffering from poor water temperature. Ive noticed that the shots are getting weaker over the last few weeks and if I run about 40 ml through the machine without the basket the best temperature I can measure is about 70C into a preheated cup. This seems to be quite low (but I really wouldnt know what it should be).
The machine is used daily 1-3 times.
Is this likely to be a thing de-scaling would help and is vinegar as good as the (expensive) commercial descaling solutions?
Anything else to try before I give up on this thing and bin it? (it has never been particularly good but it was cheap).
