Hiya gang, it's been 10 years and the old 2012 gaggia classic is showing its age. Maintaining has been more frequent of late and I'm wondering now if the boiler needs replacement as it's shedding quite a lot of black bits and degrading from inside. I upgraded the shower screen and brew gasket...
Yes, after 6 years of light use its dead! Tripped all the lights in the house. Anyone recommend a replacement for around the same money? Happy for used around the same money or less, maybe a sale? I'm based nr exeter..cheers
Thought i'd proudly show off my new geeky set-up (my wife is laughing aloud!!)

Wow, just had the most loveliest macchiato at coffee 2 this morning! (probably one of the most enjoyable drops of goodness that ive ever had!) Union beans in abundance and a nice relaxed (and non poncy) atmosphere. Just what i needed after the Neil Young gig last night! Well recommended folks!!!

Evening all - just come back from the 'do' in Exeter and buzzing with caffeine!...I'm in the process of uploading the photo's on to Flickr so will update this when done. I have to say i've fallen in love with Sanremo machines (but probably not the price!!)....watch this space!

A newbie question I'm afraid...and possibly useful info for new owners of the Iberital MC2...
I've had my MC2 since christmas and Im on my second bag of beans now (first HD Brazillian and now on to Compass) - I managed to get the grind spot on for the first bag (2 oz in 25 seconds) and im in...
