For me, it also helps to dry the water compartment beforehand (and to test whether lifting the water tank leads to the "insert water tank" light. It also helps to unclog the small drip hole from the water tank compartment into the grounds compartment with a toothpick.
It works for me, but I have to rub everything out with a dry cloth first. And add about 3 dl of water during the first run. Otherwise I can start again after topping up the water. I think there's something wrong with the fill level. All the way round.
