    Pretty normal, theyll look like that after about 8-12 weeks of moderate use. 6910 is an easy machine to clean though, and agree re: steel wool post. Works great.

    If the group head is fairly filthy you can probably assume the previous owner didnt clean regularly. Id recommend a chemical flush as well as a descale. This should ensure all the crud is out and the pumps etc can work at their full capacity. Search around this site to find different opinions on the right chemicals to use for each of these, there are quite a few opinions.

    these pics are after i tryed to clean it. anything in particular i should use, seems to have a bit of corrosion sortof.. will probably do a backflush clean also..

    Do a clean with back-flush detergent certainly
    As for the pitting - Give it a careful rub with steel wool and detergent to get it as smooth as possible

    just bought it and after a few shots, and after hours on this forum decided to check the shower screen and clean it. My question is after cleaning the very black inner screen noticed that the head I think you call it? under the machine had also a lot of caked coffee. see attachments is this normal??
    Its normal up to a point to have some soft residual layer of coffee on it
    Clean it as well

    KK
