Purchased my BES880 7/4/19 but last year noticed the steam wand was blocking up every 3 weeks or so with milk, but now almost every day (2 cups) & I have to unscrew, use pinprick tool provided, rinse, replace the parts & then go through the clean cycle - always in the middle of frothing/steaming!
We use for two cups once each day with fresh fullcream milk & have always adhered to all the filter & machine cleansing regimens as required using the special tablets/filters etc.
Does anybody experience this problem &, if so, what could be the cause/remedy?

Not a fan of simply carting the machine off to a 'repair man' to be obliged to first pay a 'looking' fee, have the 'workshop look at it' over some 2-3 weeks & then be told it needs 'fixing' at a cost of $$$$ (too much like an open cheque & frankly dont want to be without my machine for more than a couple of days).

Ideas anyone?
Many thanks.
