Hi James, very interesting and maybe I will try it in the future when the warranty is over. I have a question about the water temperature. I read everywhere that for a good espresso the water temperature should be about 90-94°C. I measured a much lower value with this machine (82-85°C). Have you also had this experience with this machine and what is your opinion about what temperature you should have? Greeting from the Netherlands

Hi man. Not sure if you still see this, but I have a question. I see you have a Rancilio wand on the machine. I have the same machine (actually it is gray, but it looks the same), and I installed the wand. However, it gets in the way of removing the water tank. Does the same happen to you? Or did you find a workaround/different wand?

@espressorestomelbourne1735 Ай бұрын

You need to push the whole wand up into the machine a bit. Essentially you are bending the copper pipe above the wand which is fine. You can open the machine to see what you are doing. You need to push it up about an inch.

You are right descaling them is quite involved. I dont have the machine so a video is out. If I recall the process: there is a hex plug located low on the boiler. Drain boiler. Then refill the boiler manually with a descaling solution ( the same qty you drained out). The replace the plug. heat up machine and then let it sit for a few hours. Then turn off machine. once cooled it will be safe the remove plug and drain out descaler. The rinse out the boiler (pour water in, swill around, empty). Finally, refill boiler with fresh "soft" water. Good luck.

I'm currently doing the same on my gaggia coffee, because I thought it was a gaggia classic when I bought it. I know. Rookie mistake, but you've got to do the best of it. I've already sunk another hundred bucks into it for the grouphead and the solenoid valve. I'm also going to upgrade the steam wand, which is another 30 bugs and am going to turn it into a gagguino. I'm also thinking of removing the water funnel and water tank and getting a little hose that I can put into a water bottle, because that just seems way easier to clean. I don't shy away from the huge amount of work that would take, but it would annoy the shit out of me, if I had to remove the waste tube, before being able to remove the water tank. I'm just weird that way.

No crema is usually old beans. The crema is mainly gases coming out of fresh coffee. Extraction from you machine can be validated by weight extracted in a set time. Eg 18g of coffee resulting in 30g espresso shot in 30sec extraction. If you get more than 30g in 30sec then the grind is too corse, if you get less than 30g them it might be too fine. Good luck

@espressorestomelbourne1735 8 ай бұрын

You fit it the same way you would a classic. With the older steam wands that have the flange and o ring on them for the panarello, you need to cut this off to get the nut off that secured it to the copper pipe. Once you have the nut then you get the Silvia wand, remove its tip (9mm spanner) then slide off the rubber and its original nut, before sliding on the Gaggia nut and then replacing rubber and tip. Then you can just screw nut into copper pipe. The only other thing you might want to do is push it upwards so copper pipe bends a little and the top of the wand goes up into the machine. You do this to gain clearance for the water tank to be able to slide out. If you don’t the water tank is almost unable to get out.
