The brew head can be clogged and often needs to be cleaned; remove screw, pry out brew / shower head, clean and reinstall. If brew head gasket is old or damaged, try buying one on eBay and replacing it. Brew basket may have become clogged with fine coffee particles, see if problem occurs with other brew basket. May need to replace brew basket. You might be able to unclog the brew basket by repeatedly running hot pressurized water through it on the brew cycle. Mine finally became so clogged that it would blow out around the portafilter, so I had to replace it.

It sounds to me that your group seal is bad. Since this machine is a 15-Bar unit, it puts out quite a bit of pressure causing water to leak out around the portafilter when making espresso if your seal is old or damaged. I sell a LOT of parts and accessories for various manufacturers of espresso machines. This particular seal is extremely difficult to locate fom Cuisinart, but is rather easy to replace. Through extensive testing, I have located a replacement gasket that perfectly fits the Cuisinart EM-100 & EM-200 machines perfectly. I sell them for $10.99 each (or two for $19.99) which includes shipping in the continental US and I accept Paypal. I will be happy to help you out.
