In this video, I'm showing how to backflush the Gaggia Classic Pro, and any other Gaggia classic with a solenoid valve, the same will work with any espresso machine with a Solenoid valve. PLUS, I'm showing you an alternative method for the Gaggia Classic 2015 and other machines that don't have solenoids.

Thanks Kev. I'll try that as my 2 year old gaggia classic seems to have slowed right down.

Hi Kev, there is no mention of backflush in the classic evo pro manual. What should I do? Shall I still do it or wait. I make 1-2 espresso a day.

I have that gaggia classic pro,it comes with no blind disc and the manual for cleaning says another procedure to clean your machine

I have a Gaggia Espresso Color (Sin 034). Can I do it with mine too?

The current gaggia classic pro doesn't come with a back flushing disc :(

Hello, any update to this issue? I purchased a newer Gaggia Evo Pro and did not receive a backflush disc. Is 1 required to be purchased?

Could I use a single shot basket if I don’t have a back flush disk?

Won't work at all. The water will just flow through and no pressure will be built.
