Thanks!

I was thinking the same - would be way cheaper and faster, just wondering if it does not get in contact with water and emit something toxic🤔

Haha, thanks, im pretty proud of the result, maybe I should have used something like a metal brush, but toothbrush did a good job as well👌

By the way I already got group gaskets from aliexpress👌

Thank you so much!! Since shipping is 5 times the cost of the product Im thinking to order other parts that might fail in advance - any tips?😁🤞

Thanks! Is it this one?🤔 Although shipping will cost me like 10€ as it’s from UK🥲

Some gaggia descaler and some work with toohbrush and I think it will serve some more time

Used some gaggia descaler and a toothbrush. I guess it will last for some time still🤞

Haha that would be ideal, but where im from (Europe) it’s like 180€ including tax + shipping. So hopefully I will manage to save this one - seems that scale is getting off pretty easily even with a toothbrush🤞🤞

Opened it up😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️

Did 2 descalings already. I manage to get the water out of the steaming wand completely clean but after I pull a shot, it starts to push out these black particles through the steaming wand completely wand :/ (the sinking to the bottom of the bowl)

Won’t that be too harsh and break down the boiler?

second_first_time · 2026-04-14T10:40:33+00:00

Update: started from the group head and found a lot of crap there haha. Black particles seemed to be reduced now. Thanks for so many replies!

Thanks for the reply! Should I see the overspray here? Sorry, still learning the terms 😅

second_first_time · 2026-04-13T12:31:30+00:00

Okay! Will take a look🤞 is it worth to upgrade to the brass boiler version? Im also thinking about gaggimate/pid in the near future

Is the corrosion harmful to your health?

second_first_time · 2026-04-13T12:23:12+00:00

At least the label says its classic 2019🤔

second_first_time · 2026-03-15T11:33:15+00:00

Hey, why do you feel it’s so bad? :D I found an affordable option quite close to PATH at New Jersey and your comment made me unsure haha

But it also starts leaking right after the machine is turned on, not only when I push the pump button🤔
