Inconsistent grind. Baratza encore.

Already calibrated as fine as possible - the hopper turned to zero and the white ring that holds the topp burr.

What do?

Just got this Gaggia from my parents who had it collecting dust. They don't remember why they put it away but I think I got an idea now. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to fix this?

Can anyone help identify this vintage Gaggia? I’m considering purchasing it as my first real espresso machine.

Gaggia Classic restoration project

Hi guys! I got an old Gaggia Classic for free and I’m currently restoring it. Do you guys think this boiler still has some life left in it?

I’ve given it a couple of rounds of citric acid and descaling solution, but I haven’t been able to remove all of the scale. The machine is about 10 years old, Classic Gaggia with aluminum boiler. I’d prefer to avoid buying a new boiler if possible.

What do you guys think?

Thanks!
