    Hello again, I saw that some of you were looking for the manual and I came across one in Italian. There is a schematic showing all the parts and connections if that is helpful, and if you happen to know Italian, even better! Gaggia Old White Coffee Manual (Italian)

    @ting_tang Okay, I was thinking along those lines of a possible clog somewhere in the line as well. I bought the machine used and there was a ton of scale and oils under the OEM screen and on the boiler outlet behind it. And as a matter of fact the flow of the water returned to normal after a...

    I just purchased a used '83 Gaggia OWC from someone and the group head shower screen and shower holder were caked with old grounds and limescale. I bought a replacement shower head but I am still getting spraying water when brewing which causes some bad channeling. Does anyone happen to know how...
