Ordered $80 of Nespresso capsules (all Ristretto-type) along with a descaling kit the week before Thanksgiving since I had pulled the machine out from the back of the cupboard. Tried the descaling kit but no water was pulling from the reservoir. I finally went at it today and took the whole thing apart despite not having the stupid oval pan bit I ordered last week which still hasn't arrived. Needle nose pliers did the trick but were a pain.
Tried everything to get the stupid water to flow. Finally I pulled out the brake bleeding vacuum pump and pulled nearly 20 psi before clearing the blockage. Thing works like a champ now
