yup - that seems to have done the trick. Two days later and my coffee is still pouring perfectly - crema n all Sorry about all the posts guys, but the problem was a pain and I was desperate. I really didn't want to buy another machine so I thought I would just make an arrogant post, in the hopes that someone would refute my claims and get to the solution real fast. Never mind, we got there in the end - and for any newbie visitors to the site in search of a solution to the very same problem, the cleaning product I use for my filter baskets is called Caldo Caffee - Premium Espresso Machine Cleaner. The only thing I do differently is place a little powder in the bottom of the filter basket and run water through it from the coffee machine. It seems to work a treat.

It was a pleasure Let's hope others will also find benefit as well KK

By the way Kosmo, that was a good run down on the second skin on the coffee filter. It makes even more sense why I was having the problem I was. I guess it's the maker's way of ensuring the best result from their cheaper products.
