When was the last routine clean your performed? Coffee machines have intricate filter systems that will, over time, clog, with residues.
Start by clearing the spout. I'd advise a needle instead of the paper clip because it has a finer and sharper tip and the steel is a lot more sturdy to perform this kind of operations. Be very careful to not force anything. A clog will easily dislodge with no need for force.

Next to a full system clean. Add a cup of vinegar to a full tank of water ad run the system with no coffee, to clear out possible incrustation it may have on the tubing. If this is not enough or you really want to be thorough with your cleaning, after running a full reservoir of vinegar and water, pour about half a tank of hydrogen peroxide in it and let the machine run.

Next do a full system clean. Fill the tank with a mix of clean water and vinegar and run the system without coffee, to clear out possible incrustations it may have on the tubing. If this is not enough or you really want to be thorough with your cleaning, after running a full reservoir of vinegar and water, fill the tank up to half with hydrogen peroxide and let the machine run.

After this, run the machine again with a little water and vinegar to flush out any residues and after that run a couple of cycles with just water. You may want to use coffee one or two times to make a final purge before brewing a cup for drinking.
