Default Know anything about outlet wiring/GFCI tripping...troubleshooting?

So, our espresso machine is plugged into one of our GFCI outlets (and has been for years) and it started blowing the outlet suddenly at a specific point in the brewing process. To rule out a prob w/ the machine, I plugged it into another outlet and it works fine, no blowing.

Next, we replaced the GFCI outlet itself, and it still keeps tripping when we use the espresso machine.

So, what would I check next? The actual fuse at the circuit breaker or what? I don't want to call an electrician for something that seems so simple...I want to do it myself if possible.

Anyone have some expertise in this area?
