Re: New to CS and enjoying the reading
Have you tried them on a Gaggia? White vinegar has had no damaging effects on any of mine (have pulled them down for various purposes so Ive actually seen the boiler innards) + a Gaggia rep recommended it as a cheaper alternative to retail descalers. Its probably not strong enough for a badly scaled boiler for preventative maintenance, it works judt fine.
Sunbeam descaler should be fine for Gaggias it it says it is suitable for their single thermblock machines - these are aluminium too.
If you really feel the need to buy a Iberital or more expensive grinder, then thats OK but a Sunbeam EM450 or EM480C will grind just as well for far less money and the only downside is that you will need to learn to adjust using the dose amount if caught between grind steps.
