How to Backflush your Gaggia Classic Pro & Other Espresso Machines

[@rbdogwood]

Thanks Kev. I'll try that as my 2 year old gaggia classic seems to have slowed right down.

Hi I have a gaggia classic pro that I didn’t use it for a while. And now it has a cloudy water even I filled it with mineral water bottles. Is backflush and descale will do the job? The water is clear after few secs

Hi Kev!
Feed the CZcams god's!

[@lamprosbitis5007]

I have that gaggia classic pro,it comes with no blind disc and the manual for cleaning says another procedure to clean your machine

Hi Kev, there is no mention of backflush in the classic evo pro manual. What should I do? Shall I still do it or wait. I make 1-2 espresso a day.

I have a Gaggia Espresso Color (Sin 034). Can I do it with mine too?

The current gaggia classic pro doesn't come with a back flushing disc :(

[@Coffee_Kev]

I will speak to Gaggia,
Thanks for letting me know.
Cheers
Kev

@@Coffee_Kev I know as I have to thank you for the discount code on the limited edition Acrobat! My first espresso machine after being v60/chemex

Hello, any update to this issue? I purchased a newer Gaggia Evo Pro and did not receive a backflush disc. Is 1 required to be purchased?

Could I use a single shot basket if I don’t have a back flush disk?

Won't work at all. The water will just flow through and no pressure will be built.
