how to descale a Gaggia classic

If you're using a Gaggia Classic Pro, it's crucial to descale it regularly. Here’s what you need to know:

Descaling involves removing mineral deposits that can affect the taste of your espresso and damage the machine over time.

To descale, mix equal parts water and white vinegar in the portafilter and run a shot through it. Then, repeat this process several times until the solution runs clear.

For more thorough cleaning, use a commercial descaling solution and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to rinse thoroughly to remove any remaining residue.

Maintenance is key to extending the lifespan of your Gaggia Classic Pro machine.
