I did mine recently and air got trapped in the flow metre - had a bad seal & was pulling up air. Machine thought it had not ran enough water through to complete the cycle so was stuck in a loop.
Also there isn’t a method for cleaning out the grinder, apart from opening the whole unit…
My old Breville was great, had a built in grinder which was easy to clean. But the Ms wanted a new machine. Just wished I’d kept the Breville in the shed.
Honestly considering an upgrade to a decent unit, but living in the country (AU) doesn’t give me much options on the 2nd hard market locally.
That reminds me, I’m overdue to “descale” my coffeemaker

Gotta say I’m not a fan of De’Longhi
What a mess. Remind never to get a machine with built in grinder

should probably give it De’shortgoodbye then.
I use distilled water to curb the need for de-scaling. Still needs a bit apparently so I do it once a year.

Daily shot with my espresso yes.
You can safely drink a glass a day without issue. I drink like 2oz of it.
Is Distilled Water Safe to Drink? Here Are the Facts.
Sorry, deleted my comment imediately after posting when I realised that my question was unneccesary and I looked it up.
Wait, why’s that in scare quotes? I’m too afraid to check urban dictionary for what this may mean
Before seeing what community this is, I was sure the post is about a shower drain, and waffle stomping
I guess I should google what that means.
It’s breaking down the mineral build up from hard water. Nothing gross just something that happens
Except it’s also for any mold buildup
Another downside of Keurig machines is there’s no way to drain them
Recently learned that de-scaling a boiler exposes you to lead leaching from the brass walls till it acquires some scale. 🫠
Where can I read more about that? This is all I could find
Some discussion here. The problem is relevant to espresso machines with brass boilers.
