Shoutout to the espresso machine that died on me during a dinner party
My 15 year old Gaggia finally gave out right as I was pulling shots for 8 people, so I spent the whole night making French press in the kitchen while everyone watched, anyone else had a machine fail at the worst possible moment?

Read somewhere that older Gaggias are tanks so maybe yours just wanted a dramatic exit.

But isn't it more likely a 30 year old machine just finally gave up the ghost than one simple gasket?

Wanted a dramatic exit" is a bit much for a coffee machine, don't you think? It's probably just a gasket that gave out. Those old Gaggias are built tough but rubber parts still dry rot. I'd check the brew group seals before calling it a suicide.
