  1. Gaggia Forum
    Hi, I've recently bought a Gaggia Nera 1 group head espresso machine. It's a commercial unit and can't really find much about it online. It was used in a private home probably for many years before I bought it as it was properly built into the kitchen counter. Unfortunately the previous owner...

    Hey all, I'm still new to espresso making and have been playing with a Gaggia Classic I recently bought. I modded the OPV to reduce pressure to 9.5 bars and replaced the shower screen with a brass one. I've been practising my tamping and managed to reduce channeling, but I still struggle...

    Here is a video of a pre-2009 classic that suffers from two problems: The on light doesn't work; it sometimes comes on, and most of the time does not. If it does come on, it then goes off. The brew light seems to work as intended. No water is being pumped out the group head or the steam...

    Hi all. I put up a video here with a problem with my Gaggia Classic a few days ago, and the consensus seemed to be that the solenoid valve had gotten blocked with scale debris. The machine is 2011 but new to me, bought second-hand recently. I have been trying to get myself set up over the last...
  5. Gaggia Forum
    Hi all, I was hoping I could get a bit of help with something please! I bought a 2011 Gaggia Classic second hand, and it was working fine at the very beginning. I then ordered a new shower screen holder (brass) and gasket as the originals were looking a little tired / corroded. However, now...

    Multiple Classic owner here, strange problem that I can't quite work out. My machine seems to regularly lose pump prime. It starts off all good, flowing water happily through grouphead, unless I grind a bit too fine and restrict the flow past a certain point. Then, the pump seems to air-lock...

    hi all People on here were super helpful with problems a couple of years back, so posting again.. I recently descaled my Gaggia Baby (after leaving it a bit too long for a hard water area). It was fine before the descaling. The descaling went fine, but now I have an issue with almost no water...
  8. Gaggia Forum
    Hi all, I've searched around a bit and found a lot of helpful stuff that's allowed me to keep my baby class going for a while now, but lately I'm stuck. It didn't get used/descaled much through the warm months, so I took it all apart to clean it up, which I've done before and it's worked...

    All, trying to get my head around the reason for adjusting the OPV on my new to me Gaggia Classic. I've done a whole bunch of searching, but nothing that exactly answered my question. Closest I got was here. Right now I am trying to dial in the tamp/grind/dose to just get flow through the...

    Afternoon all. I just got into this espresso coffee, namely for making lattes in the morning and just got the Sette 270 and the new (to me) Gaggia Classic up and running. A quick history on what I have tried so far. Fresh (beans)from a local store. I started with a setting on the Sette of...
  11. Lever Forum 💪
    Dear La Pavoni fellows, please can someone help me answering a very simple question? The following happens with my machine: The coffee already flows strongly when I lift the lever up. I thought only a little bit would come out int the top position, but it would mostly come out when you move...

    I've been pulling shots from a used Gaggia Classic (unknown year) for a couple of months now. It's always taken a consistent 25 seconds to pull the requisite 2 oz or so. In the last week, it's suddenly starting to flow a lot faster. If I let it run for 25 seconds, I get way more espresso than I...

    Been the proud owner of a Gaggia classic for 2 years. Never had any problems after using it daily. I used filtered water and performed regular maintenance and regular cleaning. However about a month ago the pour flow dramatically reduced to the point where its just dripped. After a backflush...
  15. Gaggia Forum
    Hi all, Been having a few issues with my classic. I bought it off the forum around the end of Jan and I know it had been fully cleaned, serviced and descaled. I'm a light user (6-8 cups a week) but after 6 weeks all of a sudden the flow rate had slowed right down. Even without the...
