The coffee comes out very slowly.

The coffee comes out very slowly. It use to drip out in 20-30 seconds, now it takes up to two minutes. There seems to be enough pressure to push the water through without the coffee grounds in the filter. Does this indicate that the water pump is going out? The machine is about 15 years old. We took it a part to clean it from any clogged coffee grounds.

- We bought the espresso machine at Starbucks back in 1995. On the face of the machine it says ESTRO with Vapore below. It was the model that Starbucks carried before the Barista Espresso Machine. The little book that came with the machine has Estro Vapore 100 on the cover. We suspect that the water pump is going out. Thanks
