Hi!
Well I picked up a used Gaggia Classic. Im slowly trying to clean it up a bit. The portafilter is looking absolutely filthy with coffee stain all throughout. I have bought some cafetto and am soaking it in there, but an hour in and its not looking terribly much better. Is overnight ok?
The machine has recently had the seal on the group replaced, and it also came with a spare seal. I am later going to work out how to remove the mesh screen from the group and soak that too.
Can anyone give some tips and tricks for best getting the portafilter clean
Also, is it ok to run cafetto through the water reserve and boiler?
(i got the cafetto barista kit as that is what is sold at the coffee shop i go to)
thanks,
raph
