Hi Everyone, I didn't see this post a few hours ago when I thought I posted it earlier, so if this is a duplicate, I apologize. I just purchased a used Gaggia...
Howdy Eric! The Ulka, Eaton, etc, pumps are interchangeable. Since you got the water to flow I'm sure the pump is OK and just needs a good descaling. Put some...
Talk to me about the color of the crema. Is its range of color -- from a sort of horsechestnut brown to a dark oaky brown reflect the .... well, what does it...
Thanks for your prompt replies! Tex, I will try to descale the pump and see if that helps. I did notice little grains of scale in the bottom of the reservoir...
Ah, got it. Well, if you've got a digital camera, take some pictures when/while you have her opened up. I'd be very interested to see how she looks inside. ...
Hi all, I've just bough a new Gaggia Baby, and would like to adjust the OPV as no matter what I try (different doses, grind levels) I get very harsh 2oz 27s...
I'm not sure about your new Baby, but with my very old Baby, there was something holding the switches in place that had to be dropped out before I could remove...
Thanks Susan, the new baby is slightly different and the buttons' housing is behind the front "metal" plate, which is glued, so there should be another way to...
Oh, but I definitely DID have to remove the steam knob. Sorry if I took that step for granted. It just pulls off. It's a hard pull, but P U L L .... The...
You're right :) I wasn't pulling hard enough, but now I've tried again and there's another screw there. Tomorrow I'll try again after work, thanks for your...
I've taken a couple of photos, but I'm working mostly on schematics and diagrams and ziploc bags with notes about what goes where, but what I have taken I will...
Oh good. You're on your way, now. Although I've got the Orange Baby, I don't use her for my daily dose. In fact, I haven't plugged her in in a long time. I...
Great. I take pictures at least in part so I CAN get the parts back to where they were before I took them off. I think I'm gonna remember, but it's amazing...
... shower ... key but I ... Ick! ... ~~~Once you get your machine cleaned up you'll want to put it on a regular maint. schedule. Since you have a 3 way valve...
Uh.....Eric....are you still with us????? Don't let Jake scare you off.... If you have a life, you don't have to give it up for your espresso machine. There's...
... My Baby Class had the same EMERGENCY valve, can't bring my self to refer to it as an OPV ;-} There is a link to Super Coffee Man (online vendor)on this...
The reality of the world of Gaggias is that as they "progress" they seem to "regress". They (Gaggia) seem to have found it necessary to remove the real goodies...
My experience with SuperCoffeeMan has been excellent !!!! I have used Google translator to ask them questions, and have gotten prompt responses. Delays in...
Susan, It's been a month or 6 can't remember....took about 30 days to receive but thats understandable. Seems he only had a few at that time. My dum arse...
Thanks to both, I'll send them an email as they've got 3 OPVs listed and don't want to order the wrong one. I'll see if a bit of milk improves the otherwise...
... Robert, The photo that Susan took shows the correct opv on the left hand side. I went to Super Coffee Mans' site and couldn't find the right one but that...
LOL! I'm still here, although I've been at work all day so I haven't had a chance to play with my machine any more so no new results left to post. I tried...
Hey, Eric, one clue as to the sort of OPV you have and whether it is adjustable or not is where it is located. Usually the adjustable ones are mounted on the...
