The machine gets boiling but nothing comes out of the Espresso Nozzle, It does start to drip, but it takes Forever to do that. I've Decalcified it several times with 50/50 water/Vinegar. Any other tips? I've only had it a year! And got it for a christmas gift. Please help.

I fill the 2-cup thing full to almost the rim, then mash it in using the circle on the end of the scoop thingy. I learned not to smash too hard, as my machine doesn't like that. After it has warmed up, I put the espresso "bowl" thing with the handle onto the machine, locking it in place. I then hit the 1-cup button, and less than 1 shot of espresso comes out before it beeps several times, and the lights flash on and off repeatedly. It seems angry when it does this. I wait a couple minutes, then try again, and finally get a full shot of espresso. What am I doing wrong? I'm just trying to get a double-shot, but it now barely gives me 1. I even replaced the little metal cup thing with a new one, no change. I switched to pre-ground espresso in case it was the grind being too fine, but still not better. Did I buy a bad machine???
