    I had a Cubika (The black model) and it used to do the same thing sometimes. I used to have to release the portafilter slowly to relieve the pressure. As GCGlasgow says, they don't have an OPV valve to take the pressure away from the portafilter after brewing.

    My Classic was a Fleabay bargain and it came with 3 baskets. 7g single, 14g double and 21g which i can only assume is a triple. Anyway i generally does 18g into this triple basket. Works very well.

    Very early one morning i topped up my Gaggia MDF grinder with cold water meant for the Classic!

    You cant get 18g in a standard double basket without lots of problems.

    My Gaggia MDF served me well. I actually still have it and only changed it for the K3 as I got a bad case of upgraditis!

    Yes most are 58mm but earlier models has 54mm burrs. Frank at Ferrari Espresso exchanged them for me without question despite the mistake being mine.

    I am really happy with my K3. I brought mine used and it was a bit tatty, however a new small hopper and a new adjustment collar, it looks like new again. It polishes up beautiful and looks great sat next to my classic. You would have no idea it is 8 years old. It is a real solid beast. Grinds...

    I went for the Chatswood in the end. I missed your post @mathof. Anyone recommend a resting time? Any advice for these beans would be most welcome.

    Any recommendation's from Rave? I like an espresso and milk based too. Not too dark but should be able to cut through the milk.

    So the most likely cause of my issue is changing grinder burrs and I just need to persevere and get the new burrs bedded in and it dialled in properly.
  16. Gaggia Forum
    I have read on a few forums that users complained that the brass plate burnt the coffee. I did think it was unlikely. One thing i have noticed is the dispersion holes on the brass plate are small than the original aluminium plate. I wandered if this made any difference or affected pressure in...

    Thanks all. I have had a play tonight and the puck stuck to the shower screen...that is my absolute pet hate!!!!! Grind probably is a bit fine however if i go any coarser my shot gushes. Very frustrating especially as i was previously happy. Back to the drawing board. I hate wasting cracking...

    I have been fairly happy with how my coffee comes out but there is always room for improvement. For the sake of fiddling, i upgraded the shower screen holder to a brass one (I already have the IMS Shower screen) and I also got a gauge and performed the OPV mod. I also replaced the 58mm burrs in...
