Tx for the replies about my Gaggia, Another query - citric acid is to
be used for descaling. The local wine maker is out of stock. Can I
just use concentrated lemon juice diluted to, say, a tspn per qt?
Obviously I don't want to boil it, just run it through and then sit.

Back search for some good links to favorite web food supply outfits
for bulk citric orders. Probably 1:1 concentration if running it
through a two or three times. It takes all night in a mechanic's
parts washtub (under constant circulatory flow) to meltdown an
aluminum transmission, so your mileage varies. I've also seen mention
of descalers specific to aluminum.

***
Indian grocery stores sell (cheap) cirtic acid as "citric acid;"
kosher markets sell (cheap) citric acid as "sour salt," Starbucks
sells (expensive) cirtic acid as "cleancaf".
