Kudos to your efforts if it was me, having replaced my boiler after the boiler flakes issue with a brass one. If you had gone through the effort of removing it getting a new aluminum one is not that expensive and for my time 2 hours is a lot of time. But if it is running normally again than you should be good, but like I said a replacement aluminum one is inexpensive and a brass replacement is a nice upgrade if you can afford it.
Thanks! I took a look at the brass boiler and I’m thinking I might spring for that. I love the Gaggia so much after 7 years I still dont have any plan to replace it. This could be a good way to breathe some new life!
The Gaggia is a nice machine, especially if you mod it.
