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!
