  1. Machines
    Thanks for the info. I was not looking for a Vesuvius and thinking about it carefully realistically it's too big for my layout. Thanks anyway
  2. Machines
    Hi, nice machine , I am just considering upgrading my long serving Gaggia classic ( after rebuilding it!). What age is this machine, and what water do you use? Do you routinely get it serviced in Manchester/ Stockport ( I work in Macclesfield)? Thanks, Mark

    Yes thanks for the flow comments. I found a troubleshooter where you log all this info , so that plus flow helped. Swapped the solenoid for one from happy donkey and all is good now. Thanks

    Worked ok after the 'flick trick' now reading low pressure again on a shot about 4 bar Vs 19 bar set? It still hits 10 on a back flush so I am very puzzled.? Will have to totally strip but solenoids are a bit too expensive to spend on without a clear cause. This is clearly an old one though.

    Thanks all for the replys. I have a fair recycler gauge mounted via the opv, so that is my pressure check. The pump cable tie is in place, and the pump doesn't seem to be contacting anything in use. In fact the pump is significantly quieter when when ramping up and holding flow against the blind...

    Hi, apologies If this has been covet but I did try and search this. When brewing the pump sounds louder than usual and only hits 4 bar ( set to 9 bar) with loads of flutter. Checked prime, back flushed etc. and looked ok. Will hold 9 bar all day and no flutter? I am guessing just a dead pump...

    Good point, I don't believe so- tank looks / looked clean . Some small evidence around the plastic spout though? Good suggestion, if it isn't increasing or continuing I guess this is the most likely cause. See the gauge , which I partially broke trying to clean!
  8. Gaggia Forum
    Yes it is odd. More coffee liquor, but it looks really like coffee and is really hard to shift? I am puzzled, with no other symptoms. Thanks for the input.
  9. Gaggia Forum
    Hi, sorry I couldn't find an answer to this. I have an external gauge via the opv mount (@fair recycler / boost box). Just lately some coffee has found its way into the gauge. I wondered if this pointed to a three way/ solenoid issue? No other valve issue , water and steam fine and dump valve...

    Hi, just checking if this is still available, now I can post. Would organise a courier pick up if that was ok?
