greetings all
I have been using the 2010 model of Rancilio Silvia to make exclusively double-shots (now using bottomless naked Rancilio portafilter and Synesso double ridgeless basket in it) and so far very happy.
I don't use the steam at all.
The question I have about cleaning the inside of the plastic water tank and also inside the plastic water tubes that suck the water from the tank into the machine.
There is a Cross-Shaped piece of plastic in the bottom corner of the water tank that after 2+ years of use is of brown colour.
It was meant to hold the water tubes in place, I guess, and I need to figure out how to clean it properly. Any suggestions?
I need to find some sort of special brush that will get inside and clean it properly?
Second related cleaning question - the plastic water carrying transparent tubes - they also seem to be a little "off colour", on the inside.
How to I clean those?
I suspect these may be affecting the taste.
I do replace water in the machine *daily* but after a while the "gunk" still accumulates......
thanks
