| ''These instructions may also help with other [[Topic:Gaggia|Gaggia|new_window=true]] models and with coffee makers from [[Topic:Saeco Coffee Maker|Saeco|new_window=true]] and [[Topic:Philips Coffee Machine|Philips|new_window=true]]—they are all made by the same manufacturer and have a very similar design.'' | | | Espresso machines need to be descaled regularly to remove mineral buildup. After I had owned the Gaggia for 2 years, with regular (every 6 weeks) descaling, the machine was struggling to pump enough water to make a decent cup of espresso. Sydney does not have a much mineralization in the water, but there were was significant buildup. Here I document how I fixed the problem by pulling the machine apart, cleaning it and replacing the rubber gaskets. |
