Citric Acid and Backflushing - 2008/02/05 14:37 I read in a topic re: Descaling Gaggia Classic to use citric acid, I have been told and also read many times not to use citric acid, particularly with the Classiuc as part of the boiler is aluminium. I am getting confused. Maybe it is a marketing thing to rubbish citric acid over propriety cleaners. Could someone here please clarify this for me?

Re:Citric Acid and Backflushing - 2008/02/05 14:50 It is all black-magic and marketing friend.

Of course Gaggia wants you to buy their over-priced product.
They can hire someone to package a product that costs them pennies to manufacture and then sell it for 10$ an ounce.

Do not be fooled by over-packaged and over-hyped "solutions" -- that are as dodgy as gasoline additives.

All we are doing here is cleaning the crap off the insides of the boiler.
Nothing more.
Nothing less.
