Removing burned coffee oils ...

Postby leftgalan on Sun Mar 13, 2011 7:45 am

Hello to all

I wanted to ask you if you know a method for clean burned coffee oils from inside the group of the machine ...
The problem started when i forgot my gaggia baby dose "ON" while on a 3 days vacation :? And with the group full of coffee ... :(

When i got back the machine didnt work .... It worked after 1 day .
When i opened it was FULL of burnt coffee oils (something like grease , or brown paint) ... this thing is really difficult to remove ...

Any suggestion ?

Thank you

I did a tutorial a few years ago on proper espresso machine cleaning. It is in the How-To. Espresso Machine Cleaning
