About this deal

Use the make hot water functionality to fill two 150 ml cups from the steam/hot water wand with the diluted solution. Pour the Gaggia concentrated descaling solution into the coffee machine water tank, then fill the tank with fresh water. I’ll walk through the cleaning process for my Gaggia Classic Pro. However, these tasks are universal to nearly any semi-automatic espresso machine. Cleaning and Maintenance for Gaggia Espresso Machines: Every Day Cleaning It is important to understand that when you do descale it is possible for chunks of scale to break loose and clog the "Three Way Solenoid Valve" If this happen then the three way solenoid valve will have to be removed for cleaning.

Your steam wand will accumulate some milk buildup that your daily wand cleaning won’t clear. Choose a specialized steam wand cleaning solution such as Rinza. Soaking your steam wand in Rinza for 15 – 20 minutes will keep your steam wand clean. Annual Maintenance Replacing the Group Gasket and Screen Following these essential maintenance procedures will keep your machine free of coffee oils, limescale, and milk residue. Depending on how often you use your brewer, you may perform these tasks more frequently. As long as you perform regular maintenance, your machine will deliver tasty espresso for years to come!Press the button near the bottom left of the display to brew a long coffee. When the brewing is complete, empty the container of the water collected. Pour only half of the Gaggia solution into the tank. Fill the reservoir with water up to the MAX line. Make sure that you are using only filtered water in your water tank. Investing in a water softening filter system will reduce limescale buildup. Remove your water tank and rinse it daily with fresh water to keep it clean. Cleaning the Steam Wand

You’ve made the investment and finally gotten yourself a home espresso machine, and you’re enjoying espresso every morning. But over time, you start to notice your espresso is tasting burnt and bitter, and you’re not getting that nice layer of crema you got when the machine was new. Remove the shower screen screw with the Phillips head screwdriver, and remove the shower screen plate with the Allen key. If the plate doesn’t fall out on its own, use your flathead screwdriver to remove it. Clear out any buildup with a descaler and a stiff brush. Your machine needs some cleaning! Espresso machines are complex appliances that require a little more attention than your average coffee maker. The buildup of leftover grounds, milk residue, and minerals from your water can be very harmful to your machine. Performing a few basic cleaning and maintenance tasks will dramatically extend your espresso machine’s life and keep your espresso tasting its best. Place the empty container under the steam wand. Turn the selector to the right. The steaming cup icon will display.I n our article on the complete maintenance of the Gaggia Classic you will see a video that describes how to do a proper descaling. Rinse the Gaggia coffee machine circuits by dispensing about 2 litres of water through the suitable steam/hot water wand. Dispense 2 litres of water from the dispensing spout (only where applicable). If it is not possible then produce 3 cups of coffee and pour this coffee. Lime scale forms when water is heated or boiled. Lime scale particularly forms during the heating of ‘hard water’ which contains a lot of calcium and magnesium ions. The small pieces of lime scale that form end up in your tea or coffee.

Turn the machine on again. Repeat step 6 every three minutes until the water tank is empty. Be sure to turn the machine off and let it sit for three minutes in between each round. WITHOUT adding ground coffee to the unit, press the pre-ground coffee button below the power button one or more times. In the display, the two bean icons in the bottom row should disappear and a portafilter icon should display. Turn on the pump for 15 seconds. Allow the solution to flow through both the brew head and the steam nozzle for several seconds. Milk residue can easily build up on your Gaggia Pannarello Wand, so daily steam wand purging and cleaning are important. Immediately after using your steam wand, remove it from the milk, run more steam through it, and wipe it with a wet cloth. This will prevent your steam wand from clogging. Every 2 MonthsAfter several weeks of daily use, you’ll need to do a deeper cleaning of your espresso machine to clear the buildup of espresso oils, coffee grounds, and limescale. Perform these tasks at least every 2-3 months, or monthly if you use your machine more frequently. Descaling or Decalcifying

We’ve summed up Gaggia’s instructions on how to descale three of the most popular models. Gaggia Brera Descaling Part 1: DescalingAfter you wait, dispense two cups of water again through the steam wand. Wait three minutes and repeat this process. Do this until the water reservoir is completely empty. The descaling instructions are also in the user manual that you can see linked below at the bottom of this article. Gaggia machines have 2 different cleaning programmes: One for cleaning and one for descaling. During the descaling programme the system is cleaned of all internal lime scale. Run this clean water through the machine and into a container until the tank is empty to rinse the unit. If you have a worn or broken gasket, you will need to replace it to get your machine up and running. It’s not necessary to replace your worn group gasket and screen unless your group head is leaking. Typically this won’t happen until at least a year of use.
