Resuscitating an old friend!

I plumbed her in and connected the drain.
After ten year's use, a year in one storage and three years in another
and a number of freeze thaw cycles she hissed and wheezed into some
sort of action. An espresso should take 19 seconds and have a good
"crema". This takes about 60 with NO crema. I think the pipes or the
pump are full of scale.

Having just had dealings with the plumbing community, I hope you are not a cowboy plumber, apache here apache there.
 
Sounds like it may have a little prostate trouble to me.
 
A bit old and a bit crusty eh.
 
You know how to check for prostate trouble...
 
There's your problem- you are calling it "her" and she has prostrate trouble. Sounds like gender identification issues. Maybe the old girl needs more delicate handling...
 
It is Brazilian.
I believe that we "squeak" with an "a" over here.

It IS Italian, actually.
