    I have a PID installed on my Gaggia which seems to be working in the sense it oscillates at the desired temperature (currently 102C at the brew stat). The oscillations can go on for a while, say after 20 minutes it is still varying between 101.5 and 102.5. However, upon pulling a shot, the...

    I have a US spec Minima Beta machine. I've had a few expected issues with the machine all of them have been relatively easily addressed. Recently one of the brew boiler wire connections melted, likely due to a small leak at one of the boiler fittings. After fixing it I reset the machine to the...

    I've finally completed the install of the REX C-100 PID on my Gaggia Classic 2019. The OPV mod made my shots drinkable, this PID mod made my shots enjoyable. I must say I've noticed huge improvement in the cup. Coffee taste is much more balanced and I have more control over it. I was not...

    I am considering a product to turn a Gaggia Classic into a high-tech, internet connected, touch-screen IOT device. I would like to make a kit which you can buy to easily retrofit your pre-2015 machine. It would require only some re-wiring and plumbing and not significantly change the machine's...

    Hi folks, i've been lurking for a while, reading reviews and on that basis bought a Gaggia Classic and Iberital MC2 grinder. I love the classic, however as an eternal tinkerer i went after the PID mod to try and get some more consistency in my espresso. I got all the bits together, however...

    I recently found that the KitchenAid Artisan espresso machines used mainly Gaggia Classic parts inside and that they were dual boiler so I managed to pick one up from Ebay at £41 in a nice fetching "Medallion Silver" finish. It would be a great starting point for a project. I did have in mind...

    So I'm in the process of installing a pid to my classic, and I just have a question regarding controlling the heaters. Am I correct in my assumption that I'm disconnecting the thermostat and wiring that to the SSR? so that the wires going through the termostat, actually control the heaters? I...

    Good evening, I'm new here but pretty set on getting the Gaggia Classic and adding a PID. I can't seem to find any comparisons on the systems, and the last best PID kit thread dissapeared into DIY. I'm looking at buying a kit rather than doing a full DIY, I just don't have the time. As far as...
