First, I'm NOT a Briel technician, But if you still have pressure from the removal of the portafilter (or capsule) then the exit or pour spout is clogged. You can soak a standard portafilter in warm water over nite and wash it clean in the morning. Really bad? then soak in urn cleaner and flush thoroughly prior to use. For capsule machines follow the MFR's instructions to properly flush the machine. You may also try to "fool" the machine into making a 'no coffee' shot by reusing old capsules over and over again to try and flush out old coffee from the spout. Otherwise the unit may need servicing to remove the clog as most of these capsule machines do not have serviceable parts. Contact your vendor or MFR directly for service or replacement. *warning! Try not to stick a pin, nail, or paper clip into spout(s) as this may damage valve or offset the dual pour spout. Most of these machines have double spouts and can be easily pushed out of alignment. * Final; I've noted that your probably using a portafilter type machine. If you have water or steam dripping from head then there is a leak in your head valve or commonly called the 'Group Valve'. Fortunately this is a serviceable part and can be replaced by your vendor. PS. Have you tried 'Back Flushing? Use a "BLANK" portafilter basket (the one with no holes) or a back flush rubber stopper (from Cimbali). Add a 1/4 teaspoon of urn cleaner of flush cleaner to portafilter and lock onto group. Run shot till it stops (excess pressure and dose will by-pass the group valve. This will flush old coffee and crud out the by-pass pipe and into drain tray. If nothing happens and the group hums for longer than 20 seconds then your probably got a clogged valve and back flush pipe. All will need disassembly, cleaning and/or replacement. Best to call your Vendor for service. *Be sure to run the group several times and wash the portafiler to get rid of the urn cleaner. *Tip; It's a good idea to back flush every hour with with plain water from the shot to just get rid of the coffee grounds stuck to the group shower head and leftover coffee in the group valve. Does not hurt the machine and keeps everything working smoothly. Aloha, youtube; ukeboy57
