coffee maker ?

AEG Cafamosa 250 Bean to cup
When I switch it on it still goes through all the motions and makes the usual noises. However, when it starts pumping the coffee does not come out through the front spout of the machine. It appears to be collecting inside where the coffee grounds go. It still produces steam and hot water so you can rule out the boiler inside it. Obviously there is something wrong with it and I do not know whether it is minor or major
