Given that this fault showed with hot water from the steam nozzle, I was guessing a pump or flow sensor fault. It turned out to be the flow sensor.

To repair:

1. Unplug the coffee machine from the mains
2. Remove the back panel, see [here](https://fr.ifixit.com/Guide/DeLonghi+ESAM+3000.B+Magnifica+Open/98952?lang=en) for instructions
3. Locate the flow sensor:

5. Disconnect the two tubes (noting which goes where)
6. Remove the flow sensor
7. Carefully twist the top and bottom to open it
8. Rinse to remove any particles - mine had some coffee grounds in it which were probably jamming the mechanism
9. Carefully reassemble the sensor and reattach it
10. Replace the covers
