    That's kind of you but I'm more than happy to source myself, should I have a go. I'm more familar with 20mm grommets for metal clad sockets and metal backboxes - did you mean 20mm or am I simply showing my ignorance?

    Do I have PVC tape? My wife asked me why I had so many different colours of PVC tape when I cam back in from the garage to closely inspect the wiring! I could not immediately see any wiring damage (see flash photo below) but I did feel a minor roughing up of one of the red wires (second...

    Morning all, I am hoping someone can solve an issue which has come to a head today. I carefully followng the installation for Mr Shades' PID kit circa 10 months ago and and it has been great - so much so that my wife insists I always make the coffee.... The only issue that I have had since...

    I also use a wifi plug - surely it is what they were designed for? :D

    I love the PID and I don't think I could go back to my Gaggia's unmodified form. My brewing has become much more consistent.
  6. Gaggia Forum
    That was my (nervous) thinking as I fired up the machine this morning, finger hovering to shutdown the machine if the temp was heading towards 150 degrees :D

    Perhaps - from memory it peaked somewhere between 110 and 117 degrees C briefly, before dropping back down and stabilising at 93 degrees C. I will check what the initial peak is later this evening, post auto tune.

    Last night I fitted MrShades' PID kit - superb instructions and I even dug out my labelling machine to label up the cables as I went (as well as a few additional cable ties to neaten the cable runs within the coffee machine). It took a few hours but I was taking my time to not make any mistakes...

    Having adjusted the OPV, installed the Rancilio Silvia steam wand and acquired a bottomless portafilter and ice hockey puck to tamp more consistently; a PID controller is the outstanding mod for my Gaggia Classic. PM sent :)

    Really appreciated these tips for removing the dispersion plate on my Gaggia yesterday - off in no time at all and out with the brillo pad to clean it up!
  11. Gaggia Forum
    Today I removed the shower screen and the group head to clean up - whilst a clean up was in order (a few photos in my thread in the Introductions section of the forum), the shower screen screw came out easily enough (no power tools required!), as did the group head screws. I was grateful for a...

    AndyL, thank you for posting this guide and thank you to those of you who similarly maxed out the pressure gauge and posted about it - my own pressure gauge did exactly the same thing when I adjusted the OPV on my Gaggia this afternoon and finding similar experiences on this thread calmed me...
  13. 👋 Introductions 👋
    Hi all, I signed up a week or so ago, after lurking for a little while. I bought a Gaggia Classic in 2007 for my girlfriend (now wife of almost 9 years - I credit the early generous Christmas present as a key factor in our subsequent marriage!) but, whilst she liked it on display on the...

    Not sized it up but I suspect a 12" bit holder would help in that Doom's day scenario (due to the cut away in the base) - I doubt my Gaggia has seen sufficient use to be too problematic...... (famous last words!)
  15. Gaggia Forum
    Thanks and I have a Makita impact driver at hand, if necessary!
  16. Gaggia Forum
    Thank you for that advice - I had also bought a replacement group seal from Happy Donkey so I'll strip down and clean up the Gaggia when I also replace the steam wand. Also on the bottomless portafilter learning curve.....
  17. Gaggia Forum
    Thanks for posting the clever solution - the underside of our kitchen cabinet is neither as clean or as uncluttered (fluorescent light underneath) but that is definitely a possible approach.
  18. Gaggia Forum
    How quickly does it build up? I've been using my Gaggia for 12 months (although it was bought 10 years ago) and it has made on average of 3 coffees a day - what am I going to find behind the shower curtain? I only just placed an order for the Puly Caff and Puly Blindy from Happy Donkey this...
  19. Gaggia Forum
    MartinJ, that's a neat idea and I'm thinking that it will pass the wife test! On the basis it her machine of 10 years (which I bought for her when we were dating as a demonstration of my affection - ironically it was me who brought it into use circa 12 months ago), I cannot start modding it...
