Hello, Hoping someone can help. I have a Kenwood espresso machine which was stopped heating the water. It still makes steam however, and otherwise appears to be operating normally.

Hello from London: I get wonderful tasting cappuccino from my local cafe. When I try to make the same with my home espresso machine (Kenwood Cafe Retro) using exactly the same coffee beans as the cafe (they gave me some), it does not taste nearly as good. Why, and what can I do? Thanks for any useful advice.
