The solenoid valve on my Gaggia Classic got blocked today, bollocks... Went on YouTube and found a super easy fix that avoided taking the whole thing apart... Very happy... Also descaled it with tartaric acid instead of Puly and nothing terrible happened... Also backflushed with bicarb... Breaking all the rules today, I ran out of supplies...
Urgh, is that really what they look like inside? Dread to think what mine is like after 10+ years!
Good tip on the solenoid valve there, descaling through the steam wand with the steam button. I don’t currently do that and it’ll probably cure the slight drip it has.
