How do I get my breville cafe roma espresso machine to pump water out of the water tank and through the machine? It won't create steam or brew coffee and the water level in the tank won't deplete when the dial is turned to the functions of steam or coffee. model # is ESP8XL this is the first use of the machine

Same thing happened to me and I had to push down on the water tank a little more firmly. It looked like it was seated okay but I guess it needed to be pushed down more to open the little spring-loaded opening at the bottom.
I just got this machine for Christmas, bought a massive supply of espresso and came home to make my first cup - same thing - the tank is full, I'm pressing down on it and the motor is just burning but nothing is coming out and the water won't deplete. So irritating!
