Temperature problem, Saeco Magic De Luxe

Possibly time to use that coffee machine cleaner that smell like lemon... It
should with repeated applications, clear the scale off of your heating
elements and increase their performance, as noted by more steam pressure,
and hotter espresso, though the thermostat should be what controls the water
temp thru the coffee puck. Are you able to preheat the grip prior to making
your shot? That may help. And preheating your cup also. That exhausts my
knowledge.
