Risky click of the day.

Clearly it fought tooth and nail for its life

The little bastards powdered remains are still tormenting me.

Gaggia Classic Pro ftw 🙌

Show appreciation.

[–] not_woody_shaw@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This Classic pre-dates the Pro, it's from 2014. And i think so was that gasket.

So what exactly do you have? Your post doesn’t state but the footprint looks like my classic pro.

[–] not_woody_shaw@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's a Gaggia Classic RI8161, but it's basically identical to the modern GCP. It's from before the cost-cutting modifications to the Classic that necessitated the release of the Pro.

Is this an espresso machine? That gasket is worse off than some of the ones on my 20 year old car lol

I have a 49 year old truck that was abused for much of its life and none of the gaskets or seals were this bad to replace either.

[–] not_woody_shaw@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That took longer than expected, but at least I got a good seal at the end of it. So that should be good for another decade or so. LOL.

Looks very satisfying to repair!

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 month ago

Seems like your gasket got blown.

[–] iamanurd@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago

I greatly prefer the blue silicone gaskets

Was this gasket rubber at some point? Because it appears to have fossilized.
