Our Comprehensive Gaggia Ruby Pro Service & Maintenance Offerings
Your Ruby Pro is a sophisticated machine that deserves more than occasional cleaning. Here’s what our expert services include to keep it performing flawlessly:
Deep Cleaning & Descaling
Coffee oils, mineral deposits, and scale accumulate inside boilers, pipes, and group heads over time. These residues affect taste, clog water passages, and reduce heating efficiency. Our deep cleaning process:
- Uses professional-grade descaling solutions
- Cleans and sanitizes boilers, group heads, and internal components
- Removes oil buildup that can turn espresso bitter
- Improves water flow and heating efficiency
This service is essential for maintaining espresso quality and prolonging the machine’s lifespan.
Boiler & Heating Element Inspection
The Ruby Pro’s performance depends heavily on consistent water temperature. Our technicians:
- Test boiler temperature accuracy using advanced tools
- Inspect heating elements for wear or damage
- Calibrate PID controllers to ensure temperature stability within 1°C
- Replace faulty thermostats or heating rods as needed
Stable temperature control is critical for balanced extraction and crema quality.
Pump & Pressure Calibration
The 15-bar vibration pump drives water through coffee grounds at the right pressure for extraction. We:
- Measure actual pump pressure and flow rate
- Inspect and service valves and seals to prevent leaks
- Replace worn pump components to maintain steady pressure
- Adjust pump settings to optimize shot consistency
Proper pressure ensures your espresso is neither under-extracted (sour, weak) nor over-extracted (bitter, harsh).
Group Head, Portafilter & Gasket Maintenance
Even water distribution is key to an even extraction. Our service includes:
- Cleaning group heads and shower screens
- Replacing group head gaskets to prevent leaks and pressure loss
- Inspecting and servicing portafilters for proper locking and seal
- Removing coffee ground buildup to avoid clogging
Regular maintenance here prevents uneven shots and prolongs component life.
Steam Wand & Hot Water System Care
The steam wand must produce powerful, consistent steam for milk texturing. We:
- Clean and descale steam wands and nozzles
- Check for blockages and leaks
- Service safety valves and pressure switches
- Inspect hot water taps for proper flow and temperature
A fully functional steam wand elevates your cappuccinos and lattes
Electrical System & Control Panel Diagnostics
Modern Ruby Pro machines often have programmable controls and safety interlocks. Our electrical service:
- Tests wiring, switches, and relays
- Diagnoses faults using specialized diagnostic tools
- Updates firmware if applicable
- Repairs or replaces malfunctioning control components
This ensures your machine responds accurately and safely during operation.
Custom Preventive Maintenance Plans
Depending on your usage intensity and water hardness, we offer tailored maintenance schedules — from quarterly deep cleans for busy cafés to annual check-ups for home users. Preventive care saves money and frustration in the long run.
When Should You Service Your Gaggia Ruby Pro?
Ignoring early signs can cause serious damage. Contact La Vela Coffee if you experience:
- Bitter, sour, or flat espresso taste
- Leaks around group head, boiler, or water lines
- Slow or inconsistent brewing pressure
- Steam wand producing weak or no steam
- Strange noises or grinding sounds from the pump
Machine fails to turn on or shows error messages
Why Routine Maintenance is Crucial for Your Gaggia Ruby Pro
A well-maintained Ruby Pro will:
- Deliver consistently balanced espresso with rich crema
- Extend its lifespan by preventing corrosion and wear
- Reduce risk of unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs
- Maintain warranty validity through the use of genuine parts
- Ensure safety features are working correctly
At La Vela Coffee, our service programs maximize machine uptime and coffee quality, letting you focus on brewing your best cup.
Easy Tips to Keep Your Ruby Pro in Top Shape Between Professional Services
While expert servicing is vital, daily and weekly care by you can greatly enhance longevity:
- Daily: Clean and purge steam wand after every use to prevent milk residue buildup
- Weekly: Backflush group heads with a specialized detergent to remove coffee oils
- Regularly: Use filtered or soft water to minimize scale buildup
- Empty & Clean: Drip trays and grounds containers often to avoid overflow and odors
- Monthly: Inspect gaskets and shower screens visually for wear or clogging
These habits keep your machine cleaner, reduce the frequency of repairs, and improve coffee taste.
