  1. Gaggia Forum
    Apologies if I've misunderstood, but have you checked and cleaned the solenoid valve assembly, or the brass block it connects to, that then bolts to the outlet of the boiler? It's that brass block that used to get partially or wholly blocked with tiny bits of scale on mine - it had to be...

    Based on my experience, definitely water. I've had my classic over 13 years, and only had to replace one pump and the group gasket. When I first started with filtered water, the classic would scale up and block regularly - full boiler dismantle and descale after about 6 months, then regular...

    Thanks all for the thoughts... I'm no wiser as to whether I would see any difference though? Coffeechap - yes, perfectly happy to consider used, just not sure where I need to be to actually get better coffee given my usage. What sort of thing do you have in mind? Grinders - the niche seems to...

    Hi all - I've not posted here in a while (6 years, according to my profile...) as I've been happy with my setup. I've now got a bit of spare money available, and I've been pondering upgrades - but I don't know whether I would get any appreciable benefit for the money I have available. I'm...

    And received in perfect order this morning - many thanks to Grimley for a smooth transaction.

    Hi - I'll take the machine and the included bits at asking price please - I'll PM you my details now. I don't need the bottomless filter or IMS basket. Noel Weston

    Thanks DFK - unfortunately for me, however tempting this is, the look on the other half's face when I mentioned maybe buying another coffee machine (after just spending on a PID kit, tamper and chemex in the last month) means I'm out... Good luck with the sale.

    I'm interested as well - again, can you clarify the "tlc" bit? Is it ready to use, or does it need some work?

    Oh, and #LFMF - when the manual clearly says the aluminium box splits into 2 parts, don't assume it's all one and start undoing the connections to the PID with the machine plugged in (not on, though - safety first!), touch a random bare wire to a case and wonder why it's all gone dark, dropping...
  13. Gaggia Forum
    OK, so put me in the dunce class - mine took 25 1/2 hours to fit and get fully working due to some top class stupidiousness on my part. That time did include sleeping, swearing, one minor power short (more stupidiousness) and an evening out at work... The instructions were good, but apparently...

    Coffeechap - Would it be possible for you to update here with what you currently have available, and then I can decide whether to go that route or direct? Thanks.

    Is it possible that the thermostat has failed? I vaguely seem to remember mine going haywire when the brew 'stat failed; it might be worth changing both?

    Shameless self-promotion: due to apathy on my part, my previous grinder is still for sale: http:// coffeeforums.co.uk/showthread.php?23892-FS-Brasilia-Rossi-RR45-grinder-๏ฟฝ125-00 I also have a classic, and over time went from pre ground coffee through a blade grinder, cheap burr grinder, MC2...

    Just another thought - you said in your original post that you wanted to learn to make your own drinks. That's not going to happen with a bean-to-cup machine - it will produce drinks/on demand easily, but if you want to be involved than you need a "proper" setup. As others have said, a Gaggia...
  18. Sold
    Yes, erm... thanks for that! I'm not entirely sure I've been forgiven yet, given that we have two large grinders and no money, but at least we had a nice drive out in the rain!

    Bump - still for sale, and I am open to offers...
  20. Sold
    I bought this in.Decembe. as an upgrade from an MC2. I stripped it down, cleaned everything, tidied up the damaged mains lead, bypassed the hopper magnetic safety lock, and added a lens hood for single dosing. I was looking at further mods to replace the doser with a funnel, but then some kind...
