hadn't cleaned my machine in about 4 months due to laziness. when the portafilter decided to unscrew itself and spray coffee grounds in a 2 foot radius around the machine decided I better get to it.
ordered a new gasket as might as well change it while I'm fettling. but dear god the amount of oil build up was ridiculous. good thing I have a giant sized container of puly caff.
only thing left to degunk is the shower screen which is soaking then it's time to descale and finally backflush.
