  1. Fracino Forum
    I've been trying to pick the components for this. Is there a reason for using a k type thermocouple rather than a pt100 sensor? The man on the internet says thermocouples aren't as good as pt100 sensors. Wondering if it was sensor geometry or some other reason? I think this will be a Christmas...
  2. Fracino Forum
    Looks great, £25 would be a bargain to control the new temp that tightly. Do you still have the BOM for the kit? and if there's any fitting guides out there? One of these...

    Very interesting @Norvin, any ideas how much the Piccino PID mod cost? And was it a professional install or a home effort?
  4. Fracino Forum

    Thanks for the advice, I'll check the level probe when I've next got the cover off. I checked the steam pressure switch and it was set low. I've upped it now and it's much better 1.2 bar idle and 0.9 when steaming. I had a look inside the boiler when I was descaling and it didn't look too bad...

    I've recently purchased an early model Piccino with rocker switches. I used to have a Gaggia Classic so I'm not against a bit of tinkering to improve the functionality. I've read that temperature surfing is an issue with these machines and there's no LED indicator for the brew element. I was...

    Great job on fixing up your Piccino. I've just picked one up and whilst I find it a decent step up from the Gaggia Classic, there are some issues that I need to investigate. Can I ask you what the steam pressure you get during steaming? Mine sits at 1-1.1 bar when closed and drops to 0.6-0.9 bar...
