This for the older ones you find second hand when they were better quality. More modern versions of say a “Coffee Deluxe” are a bit rubbish, plasticky and not to the same standard.
A refurbed old style Classic from BigJohn would be great. You need to sort out the water/descaling though or it will still break on you.
- Classic pre - 2015 - more metal components and a 3 way solenoid valve - normally stainless case
- Gaggia baby - same internals as a classic in a plastic case
- Coffee Deluxe - Similar to a classic but no solenoid, just a spring valve - painted steel case and 3 rocker switches are horizontal not vertical.
@BigJohn, where do you go for bits? I did a quick hunt on the internet and couldn't see the bits I think I would need to fix my Classic.
In the past I've used Happy Donkey for things like solenoids, pumps and gaskets but I think they may have cut down on spares. Googling Gaggia classic solenoid brings up a few places though.
@dorset_knob - Nice bunch and have loads of Gaggia spares - https://www.theespressoshop.co.uk/
