        How finely ground is the coffee youre using? I had this problem the other day with my machine being choked by an extremely fine grind. I needed 3 pump activations to get any coffee in the cup.
        Just a thought.

            If youre getting normal water delivery and amount with no portafilter in place then as Lovey suggests the next step would be to adjust the grind until you get the proper amount of espresso in the right amount of time.
