Stripped and serviced the Gaggia Factory over the past couple days. Little bit of rust to deal with but otherwise straightforward - they’re just so simple and easy to work on. Went really smoothly other than accidentally electroplating the brasswork pink. Was still nervous turning it on afterwards but seems we’re all good - now pulling consistently decent shots even with some older, lighter roasted beans. Temp management so much easier now too!

Nice! Really need to get some sort of temp scale put on mine. Where did you pick up that thermometer? Really not a fan of the look of those little adhesive strips, but that thermometer doesn't look out of place at all.

Thanks! Thermometer was just a couple of quid off eBay - seem fairly ubiquitous on various forums. Secured with aluminium tape. Very happy with it. The bracket came from coffee-sensor.com (along with the service kit).
