If no more coffee comes out, but hot water still works, the upper piston may be clogged. Here is shown how it can be removed and replaced.

Remove all attachments such as water tank, pulp drawer, brew group.

Turn the machine with the back facing you.

Lift out the back.

The following components are immediately visible:
-
grinder

Lift off the panel.
-
The following compononents are exposed:

Depending on the model, the steam tap/water spout must be removed, there are slight differences here.
-
Pull out the plastic clip on the steam nozzle.
-
Pull the steam nozzle out towards you.
-
-
-
Carefully pull off the steam faucet toggle. Only use a plastic tool to pry to avoid damaging the bezel.
-
-
-
-
If you haven't already done so, also detach the right-hand cover on the water tank.
-
Remove the four Phillips screws securing the top cover.
-
Lift the top cover up a bit. That might be a bit sticky.
-
If there is a cup warmer, then unscrew the nut SW7 with which the two green-yellow cables are connected and loosen it. The two brown cables on the other side can stay if you just put the cover on top.
-
Place the top cover on top, or remove it entirely.
-
-
-
The remaining front cover must also be removed.
-
Unscrew two screws on the left side.

The support of the upper piston is fixed with two screws on the left side. Depending on the model, these screws must be uncovered.
-
The first picture shows a model with an additional steam heater. Here the steam heater has to be unscrewed (one short screw on top, one further down), then it can be pulled out a few centimetres.
-
The second picture shows a model with a manual steam tap. Here the two screws on the tap must be loosened, then the steam tap can be pushed a little to the side.
-
Once the two screws are exposed, unscrew them.

Pull out the clip at the top left and loosen the pressure line. Pay attention to the O-ring seal. It either hangs on the line or afterwards. When reassembling, replace it with a new one if possible.

The upper piston support plate is now free. However, it is very tight and it is tricky to get it out. Be patient and work carefully. Make sure that the ribbon cable to the control panel is not damaged.

Thanks for writing this up! The needed tools should be a security torx T20 (back cover), T15 (upper piston), Philips #2, and allen wrenches I think.
So I followed the guide but still no coffee or water from the coffee spouts. Water from the steam pipe still works. Any tips? New upper piston or something else?
Perhaps a broken or clogged solenoid valve?
