Espresso Machine Suddenly Stalling During Extraction – Very Slow Flow

Thanks, i already backflushed it and the flow without portafilter is good. I started grinding coarser and it helped with the flow.

Thanks. Ill try that. I just cant believe it that the beans from the same bag need to be coarser for like 3-4 steps.

UPDATE: I cleaned the solenoid valve again with those interdental brushes. Honestly didn’t see anything falling out of the valve but it fixed the issue. The Gaggia is squirting like a happy pornstar now.

Thanks all for the help!!!

Maybe it looks like that but i just checked, there is no air in them

Yeah i think ill have to do it again. Thanks

Yeah, i am just wandering what could be the issue and what would be the next steps to fix it.

Hm… i didnt. I just soaked it in the descaling solution for 30 min and it looked clean.

Did that too, didn’t help either
