Either I have a gremlin at home or my Sunbeam EM6910 is on the blink.
I made a couple of coffees in the morning and did my regular routine of cleaning the machine after use. In the end I dutifully turned the machine off, but left the cord in the power point.
I returned to find the pump had started automatically and all the water had cycled through the group head. I cant stop the water from flowing without turning off at the power point!
The machine doesnt seem to be otherwise on because neither the group head or heating tray is warm. I can actually turn the machine on (to get the green light to flash) if I turn on the power but not sure what this means. The pump just stays on.
HELP! Its a long weekend and I want more coffee. Ive got almost a kilo of Single Origin to get through.

I know bad news tends to travel, but is there any good news out there? My existing machine is a Rowenta Virtuoso and i had been looking forward to stepping up and getting better at the coffee thing. It took me about half an hour to pack the stupid machine back up in all the polystyrene etc. Is there any hope if i get a replacement or is it a case of get my money back and loot for a R Silvia? :-*
I have also upgraded my grinder to the matching sunbeam one. Luckily apart from the nuisance value of the short nozzle it seems great .
