I'll give it a clean with the citric acid -- have a stack on hand I

machine -- and we have our own lime juice supply in the garden.....
Pretty close on price .. I got it for $250 Australian, which equates
to around $200 US.
thanks for all the advice .. I hadn't realised how regularly it should
be cleaned.

Yes, by all means. Lime juice / vinegar is for my own (not even near
a la Pavoni) - whereas citric acid is the "proper" prescription.
$200. Wow. You got some catch. Think I'll turn green. There will be
web sites, tips and tricks and also for keeping it in good order.
Still wondering why Mr. DaveB isn't particularly fond of taking a la
Pavoni down - an espresso mechanic's insight is interesting.
