Initial Inspection

Today, I started my journey to restore an old Astoria Argenta espresso machine. First impressions: "The chrome is tarnished, but the body looks solid. There's a slight leak from the group head."

Next steps: "Disassemble the machine, order new gaskets, clean the boiler."

Disassembly Begins

Spent the morning taking the machine apart. The metal was much sharper than I expected so I need to buy some gloves.
