    That makes two of us! I'll take it as a sign that I need to make another coffee...

    Sorry guys - didn't look at the dates before the post preceding mine. Hope the OP is still able to indulge in coffee!

    It sounds like your central nervous system is under stress. Have you been working hard/not getting enough sleep/exercising too much lately? As caffeine affects the CNS it could be that cofee is exacerbating an existing problem. But as others have said, have blood work done (including a test of...

    Been playing around with the Classic for a good few days now. Just finished doing the OPV mod. The default setting was 12 bars, so not too bad. Adjusted down to 10 and the shots are much better, with more consistency. Rocky is set to 4 and a light tamp (with a Happy Donkey convex tamper rather...

    Just picked up a Classic that's barely been used for £100. And I've ordered the bits and bobs needed to do the OPV mod. Now the fun begins!

    Hi, is there one still available? And if so can you tell me if it's had the OPV mod done to it? Thanks!

    Thanks for that. It didn't really work though - it's impossible to get any real consistency with this machine. I pulled a 35s shot today that was superb. I can feel my wallet twitching for an upgrade.

    Well the non-pressurised basket arrived this morning and I've spent the last half hour playing around with things. The results are (to my relatively-novice tastebuds) are great! Best results are as follows: 14g of beans. I adjusted the Rocky down from 8 to 3 to make up for the increase in...

    It has a thermoblock. Yes, I'll definitely be upgrading when I come across a good offer on a classic. Once that basket I linked to arrives I'll play around with it to see if it makes any difference and report back. Thanks for your advice.

    Thanks - I found this through a link in one of the threads: http://www.buyspares.co.uk/product.pl?pid=1742107. At £4.50 I think it's worth a shot before upgrading the machine.

    Lol I was looking at that video when you posted! My portafilter looks similar to the one on the far right, so would need extra modification. I'm going to see what I can do...

    Just found this blog post on depressurizing the portafilter on a DeLonghi. Any thoughts? http://lancesteacoffebooze.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/how-to-increase-shot-quality-on.html
  13. Coffee Accessories
    Thanks a lot for that information! So could I fit a non pressurised basket to my existing portafilter to see if there's any improvement? Are they a generic size/fitting? And if so, is there somewhere you can recommend that I buy it (a company affiliated with this forum maybe, instead of Amazon...
  14. Coffee Accessories
    Thank you both. Would the 15 bar pressure be too much for a non-pressurised basket (or will the coarseness of the grind control this?). I currently get my beans from Drury (http://www.shopdrury.com/) and Poblado (http://www.pobladocoffi.co.uk/). Thanks for the suggestions on roasters - I'll...

    Hi there, new to the forum, and first post! I have a Rancilio Rocky grinder and a DeLonghi EC820 machine. I'm very happy with both to be honest, but having lurked around this forum for a while I'm curious about the Gaggia Classic to see what I'm missing out on! I'm watching a few used Classics...
