    Just a follow up to say thanks again to all - was indeed the steam seal, so new one fitted and a new switch as a special treat and everything back to normal lovely coffee. Cheers

    PS... Any ideas where to find a replacement for the illuminated ready/run switch?? Cheers

    Thanks for the suggestions - will try replacing the steam seal as I've never replaced that in the last 3 years of ownership. In fact only started using the steam function in the last month or so, which may have accelerated or highlighted the problem. Many thanks!

    Hi Recently replaced the rubber seal for the group head (done twice before no problems) so may be a coincidence. Now recently noticed the machine hissing and spitting in between uses, which it never used to do. Took the lid off and ran a shot and noticed water appearing on the very top of the...

    No no! Got all my equipment 2nd hand from the good people on this forum. ยฃ28 / kg for beans is my own fault. I remembered having a really nice coffee in a small cafe in Aberfeldy last year. Bored with Starbucks beans, I got in touch with them and enquired about which brand and supplier they...

    Well at @ยฃ28 per kg delivered, it won't take much

    1 X Gaggia Classic (to replace my Delonghi EC155) 1 X Ascaso i1 grinder (to replace my Emide) 1kg Matthew Algie "Darwin" espresso roast beans (to replace my Starbucks espresso beans) Also looking forward to the arrival of my Ascaso i2 mini early next week!

    Well having started off on my journey to mod my humble delonghi into a bottomless portafilter a few weeks ago, I am now the proud owner of a Gaggia Classic, and two Ascaso grinders! Before I retired the Delonghi, I thought I would have a final go with it and the new grinder. I have to say that...

    Yes - it seems fair?

    Thanks for the heads-up, but still considering my next move... Is that a blade grinder? Cheers

    What can I say? I have a naturally obsessive personality. I realise this and therefore fear for my sanity. I should have stuck to Gold Blend.

    OK - I see a pattern emerging here. Another problem is my current grinder was a prezzie from my wife. She visited a speciality coffee shop in Edinburgh, and bought it on their advice.

    AAAAaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No damn it! It starts with a grinder... and then a better machine... and then another, and before you know it you're shambling wreck, muttering incoherently about the perfect shot and roasting your own beans - where will it end?!!

    Although - this youtube clip suggests something is possible?

    Thanks froggystyle. I'm just nervous about getting into a hobby / cult. But hey - there's worse things to blow your money on. Like that old Kawasaki motorbike I bought for ยฃ300, and then wasted a further ยฃ800 trying to get it to run right. Never did, and sold it on ebay for ยฃ25!
