I've just bought a 2nd hand machine, and have a few questions I think I should ask before it arrives, as I know I'll want to try it out as soon as it's out of the box. 1] It's apparently had 'occasional' use. Do I need to any descaling/deep clean or anything else before using it?

Being a full manual lever, it is not as easy to use as a semi-auto, but the learning curve is not that great.

2] A friend of mine who is into his coffee reckons he knows of a few cases where people have got themselves burned by them, anything I should watch out for other than the obvious holding it down when operating the lever, being wary of steam pressure etc? 3] I understand the bottomless portafilters are best, can you buy them or should I just take an angle grinder to the standard holder?

4] Can anyone give me a good starting point to work from in terms of dosage and tamp pressure? For cleaning, inspect the machine when you get it and then read some of the many threads here on descaling a home lever machine. Threads written up for La Pavoni will apply to your Gaggia Factory.

Similarly read some of the many threads on using a La Pavoni. For dose, grind, tamp, etc., it depends on the coffee but just to get started you don't need to get fancy.

Fill the double basket so beans just fill to the top without bulging. Weigh what you've got there. Adjust from there. Some people tamp hard, some tamp very lightly only to level and grind adjusts accordingly. Distribution is more important than style of tamp. Avoiding burns is straightforward.

Don't touch the boiler or group. You can avoid tipping by using both hands on the lever. On a Pavoni I would steady it using one hand on the boiler cap and don't know if the top of the lid on the Gaggia is relatively cool. What kind of grinder will you use? Whether it needs descaling or not with occasional use will probably depend on if they used hard water or not.

Just take off the boiler cap and look around inside with a flashlight. If you see a lot of green/white/maybe brown buildup you should descale.

Also you should start to use the cleanest water you can if you want to avoid descaling in the future. But don't waste money on some overpriced bottled stuff, a good Brita filter or something should be fine. Basically don't touch anything on the machine except the lever handle, boiler cap, or steam nob. Everything else will eventually become extremely hot. Bottomless is good because it allows you to watch the extraction and adjust your grind, tamp, coffee, dose, accordingly. If you want a bottomless pf you can buy one but they're quite pricey.
