Firstly, I'm very impressed to have found a web-hosted forum for coffee lovers, strikes me as an excellent idea! I'll be nosing around here for a while I think...
Anyway, primary reason that I stumbled onto this site was that I have a problem with my Gaggia Paros, bought new early this year (I think). It has stopped making nice froth: the steam wand is completely standard and I have cleaned it carefully, plus undone the plastic parts to clean those individually too, but still it just blows steam into the milk, rather than frothing it as it used to.
Hopefully this is a really noddy problem and someone can please put me straight, since it seems unlikely to be a fault with the wand.
Yours
Marcus
