Thanks for that. I’m also looking at the gaggiuino but I’ve no idea where to start. I need a parts list.
I replied to an ad on coffee forum for a free Rancillio Silvia. I did have huge expectations. The guy did mention the pump could do with being replaced so that’s on my to do list too.
Espresso must be a bit like owning an Alfa Romeo. Expensive, gratifying, thrilling, balanced out with pain and suffering.

You'll want some suitable wires/spade connectors/heat shrink too, I took apart a dead PC PSU for the wires, got spade connectors from eBay (they're all the same) and already had heat shrink.
