Faulty Cafetiera

Ok so it's not astrology related per se but...since the aqua board gets the most hits I thouoght I'd slip my query here. Ok so I'll make it snappy and to the point:
I have a cafetiera that was working great up until a few months ago. Oh by the way it looks like this:

Anyway now it hardly produces any espresso coffee and what liquid does spout up out of its nozzle tastes and smells like burnt over stewed coffee. What is the reaosn for this? I've cleaned everything out fo nothing is blocked. I'm wondering is it the sieve part of the mechanism where you put the ground coffee beofre screwing the top container part over it and putting it on the stove. The rim of this is ever so slightly warped so it's not perfectly fitting into the bottom compartment of the cafetiera that holds the water.
Are there any coffee gurus out there who might be able to shed some light on this dilemma?
All hints, tips and suggestions welcome smile
