    I noticed that Ferrari Espresso now have a really nice kit for a Gaggia Pro steam wand: Gaggia “COOL-TOUCH-STEEL” pre 2015 CLASSIC / 2018/19+ CLASSIC PRO to Cool Touch S/Steel one hole steam wand – Ferrari Espresso that can be installed on the pre-2015 Classics. What are your thoughts on this...

    Hi, I have a Barista Express from 2019. CEME plastic solenoid valve assembly. I had the quite common problem of steam from the grouped/low steam pressure and I assumed it was the standard 3 way solenoid valve replacement. Replaced with a brand new unit but a varied problem persists. It appears...

    Hi I have been struggling to sort an issue with my beloved Sage Barista for a few weeks. I throughly descaled it several times and yesterday I replaced the solenoid with a new one. I've also removed and clenaed all water pipes and checked that there are no blockages. When i switch it on and...

    Hey folks. I write here because I can't find this issue on the forum. My Lelit Mara X (two months old) has started doing this: Steam starts to come out of the group head continuously. You can see it in the video: https://youtube.com/shorts/vp2c1ZKqQ8Q When trying to pull a shot, the amount of...

    Hey folks. I got a Mara X on January and I'm so happy with it! Coffee tasting great and very nice steam power. However; every time I've turned it on; during that 20 minute process, at around 10 minutes steam starts to come out from the drip tray for about 90 seconds, as shown in the video. I've...

    I pulled out my Gaggia Baby Twin again because the Gaggia Viva's Portafilter is deffect. Now the Baby Twin has the problem of not producing steam. I warm up the machine well before using it. When I open the steam button on top of the machine, a small jet of hot water comes out. The pump...

    !CORRECTION: what you should actually do is shorting the cables of the brew thermostat and connecting the SSR to the cables of the steam thermostat. Doing it the other way around like I describe in my post will result in overheating of the boiler when switching the brew/steam switch to steam...

    Hi, i have had a LMLM fora few months now but recently i noticed an issue with the steam. The pressure (i think) just seems off. When i steam milk now, it definitely seems weaker steam, and it is not able to air-ate the milk like it used to. It just creates a very hot milk with a tiny amount of...

    I've recently acquired a 2012 Gaggia Classic and of course, all 4-5 people in my house want coffee in the morning with plenty of steamed milk. The boiler seems to be not-so-large so it seems to be possible for it to run dry - running out of steam even though the boiler is at temperature. This...

    Hello all, So my Sage The Oracle Touch has been working flawlessly for about 6 months. I have noticed recently the steam wand is not performing at the same pressure as before, so I did the usual descale cycle (another issue in itself) I’ve cleaned it out 3 times with descaler and taken the...

    I am thinking about upgrading this thermostat after reading a couple of blog posts. A question, does anyone know if this stresses the machine more and shortens the expected life span of other parts? I always refill the boiler with fresh water after steaming. TBH, I should probably do the...

    Hi All. Hope everybody is safe and well. I was wondering if I could call on the groups experience. I have a 2006 Gaggia classic fitted with a Rex C100 PID. The machine has now developed a fault where the steam switch is not doing anything. The PID just controls around the brew temp set point...

    This machine is in excellent condition, used for 4 years cleaned, back flushed and filters removed and cleaned after everyday of use. It was serviced in house on a regular basis and every rep who came into the shop praised us on the condition we kept it. It has never let is down. Seals have been...

    Back to the metal lathe after a request for one of these .. Looked OK after a bit of buffing ..
  17. Gaggia Forum
    Hi all, I brought a Gaggia classic off eBay when starting out a month ago. However I think the seller had done a poor repair job as the steam handle is off centre and rubs on the casing. Indeed the whole steam tap is angled slightly towards the rear. I can't see how though as the boiler looks...

    Notices the steam on my gaggia classic drop very significantly after steaming two small jugs of milk. I'd say I'm making three cups during the third one there is practically nothing coming out, if I knock the machine gently it starts up again then stops. Used to be able to make 4/5 cups of...

    Recently I've got into the habit of pressing the Pour button on my Gaggia Baby (older version) just after frothing. This sends a burst of steam through the group head. Seems to me this helps clean the shower screen. Is this recommended or what?

    Afternoon all. The last couple of days I've noticed that the steam flow from my machine is very jittery. Seems to blow a mix of good old dry steam then a blast of saturated steam, bit of water, steam, saturated steam etc etc. Only started a couple of days back. I haven't changed any parts...
