    Perfect, sounds good to me ๐Ÿ‘ Let's move to PM and work through the details. I'll update the thread once the Classic has been shipped.

    Hi @Keggs, good to hear! As per the ad, happy to post (cost/risk covered by buyer). Did you have any particular courier in mind or Royal Mail? Not sure what the cost would be to Ireland (from SR7 County Durham) Thanks

    Bump..... any interest @Lovelock before I advertise elsewhere?

    I was happy with the Rhino for around 12-18 months but then I was only making a couple of drinks each month and as@Zeak says, you need to manage expectations. I knew an electric grinder would be better but I was happy with the results (it's definitely the lowest setting on the grinder). I...

    2012 Gaggia Classic for sale. Owned from new and only light use (4 drinks per month) until lockdown earlier this year when I have been making approx 5-7 drinks per week. First upgrade early on was the Rancillio steam wand and in recent months I have fitted the Mr Shades PID kit and undertaken...

    Just tried my first flat whites, can't stop smiling ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ Amazing first attempt. I've been happy with the Classic for 8 years but that was so simple and tasty. The improved milk steaming made such a difference.

    Just a quick question, I understand cooling flushes are not required but should you do an initial short flush before the first shot to warm things through properly? (just habit from previous machines!) Thanks in advance

    Another Mara X owner, just set up this evening. Upgraded from a well loved Gaggia Classic but I couldn't resist! I've been reading this thread for the past few weeks and looking forward to the new journey.

    It's in the post @Mulligrub, should be with you Monday/Tuesday. Mine was 12bar to start and I luckily managed to get it spot on with the first adjustment so it didn't take long at all. Thanks

    Just ordered one of the new black kits on Thursday evening and it's already arrived today in the post. Fantastic service @MrShades Looks daunting but I'll have a go on tomorrow, fingers crossed ๐Ÿคž

    Don't worry, I've just spent the past hour reading through the Mr Shades PID kit threads. I've just ordered one in the new black shade which sounds like it might help me delay my upgrade itch if the steam power is improved the way everyone describes!

    Hi What did you notice in terms of change with the PID? Thanks

    Thanks! I really like the Classic and its actually more than enough for my needs, probably being used no more than once a day on average (even less pre-lockdown) I find it very consistent and easy to live with, you will enjoy it.

    Hi Everyone Newbie here, just thought I'd post my current setup. I've had the Gaggia for around 8 years and started off using Illy Red pre-ground (disaster!) before moving onto a Rhinowares manual hand grinder to start experimenting in the world of coffee beans. This was fine and worked...
