🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹYes it is the stock portafilter. It seals properly when I use the backflush 'blank' but it leaks when using the OEM baskets and the IMS precision basket that I bought. The boiler/grouphead junction is screwed fairly tightly, I removed it earlier to clean and get the gasket out to turn the...

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹAs it is leaking around the portafilter when attached is it likely to be the silicone seal that is causing the leaking though? The gasket it came with was very firm and cracked. The shower plate holder was also fairly grim even after the descale which is why I replaced the set. I shall...

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹBeen a while since I last updated. I bought a pressure gauge to check what I had adjusted the OPV to but I've now encountered a new problem, when the pressure exceeds 4 bar it starts leaking around the portafilter. I had put the filter holder gasket in upside down (duh) it it is still leaking...

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹI'll try running citric acid through it before looking at modifying parts, thank you 😊 I bought the espresso grind because I don't currently have an espresso Grinder so that's a shame. Currently looking for a grinder on eBay, looking for a Sage grinder or 2nd hand Super Jolly. Can I pass...

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹI've uploaded new Photos and videos of the sanded boiler, leaking steam wand and espresso shot pour. https://flic.kr/s/aHsmX66cSV Great News: Sanded down the boiler and it now seals well, no more leaky pump and no more water in the heating element. Sad news: The steam wand now...

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹTurns out, the boiler is leaking from the seal now. Will take it apart again tomorrow and try again. Anyone advise on making sure you get a good seal between the boiler sections?

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹI truly appreciate the warning, thank you. It has worked though! Listen to that new pump pump! (it is now grounded whilst doing this). Just need to wait for the new wand and group head to arrive tomorrow and I'll be on my way. Very excited and extremely grateful for the advice from you all 😊...

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹI found an older post about the fuses tripping after stripping and cleaning the Gaggia Classic. They had fully submerged the Gaggia in Sodium Hydroxide to descale it and thus the heating elements got water clogged in them. This was solved by un-earthing the machine and running it for 15 minutes...

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹGood news, nothing melted. Bad news, it is still tripping the fuse board when I try to turn it on.

Coffee AccessoriesThanks for the suggestions. I'll try my luck at finding an electrical grinder for now; don't think I have enough energy in the morning to hand grind! If I cannot find one I'll look up that JX Pro for sure, are they taxing/time consuming to use? I had an old grinder and it took forever to get...

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹ100C??? Wow, mildly scarred the plastic/rubber on the wiring will melt but sure, I'll trust you. One hour to go! Not going to lie, my wife is looking at me like I'm crazy now 😂

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹSo... I've cleaned everything with citric acid and replaced all of the O rings. I've put the machine back together and it looks nice... BUT, it won't turn on. Every time I turn on the switch it trips the fuse board. https://flic.kr/s/aHsmX4UhiA - link to the reassembled photos. I thought...

Coffee AccessoriesHi all, As I'm slowly sinking into the rabbit hole of wanting to make great espresso at home I'm reading that having a machine is one thing but it's nothing without a grinder that is up to the task! It turns out that the grinder I currently have just cannot grind fine enough for espresso...

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹThank you for all of the help! I've ordered a new pump and some PTFE tape to prevent further leakage. Also ordered new silicone O rings, a backflush blank, new gasket/basket/shower and rancilio wand. Really looking forward to cleaning and putting this back together! Is it worth replacing the...

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹAlso, having now taken it apart I can see that the OPV on the classic seems to use a hex nut to adjust the pressure rather than a spring. Therefore, there would be no reason to buy the shades of coffee OPV mod kit if I've understood correctly. Does anyone know what the default setting...

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹSo I have now fully stripped the machine, surprised by how easy it was to take apart, good design! https://flic.kr/s/aHsmX3Kws4 - Gaggia Classic StripDown I have disconnected all of the wiring, when removing the plugs from the boiler there is a white paste in the seal, what kind of paste is...

🪛🔧 Technical | Faults | How-to's ❓ℹHi there, new to the forum but a lover of coffee! After watching a James Hoffman video on getting great coffee from a Gaggia Classic I decided to dive in and get a second hand machine and 'fix it up' to make great coffee. However, in my enthusiasm I paid too much and I think the machine...
