Hello folks,
I would sure appreciate some advice.
I live in the Vancouver area and I want to know if anyone knows of reputable Gaggia servicers besides expressotec. I just received a defective Gaggia Classic from eBay. I tried to prime the pump according to the instructions and water seems to be pouring out of all orifaces from the top of the machine. I'm concerned because I already talked to one coffee expert who warned me that the machine may not be repairable. Something about a crack in the machine.
I'm looking for an ethical, competant service professional for expresso machines.
Many Thanks in advance to those who read the post and feel compelled to respond.
