    Hi all, just thought it would be nice to share. If you have seen it, then it's okay. But I am quite interested in the project itself =) http://www.cyberelectronics.org/?p=458 Let the webpage speaks for itself =D Cheers..
  2. 👋 Introductions 👋
    First post on these forums after lurking a while. The members here seem like a genuinely good bunch so I thought I'd join and introduce myself. Im Andy and I'm from Fife but currently living in Edinburgh. With regards to my coffee consumption, I'm a filter kind of a guy first and foremost...

    I have just installed a pid on my classic (sestos one with 25amp ssr with wire thermocouple). I have the thermocouple mounted on the front of the boiler at the bottom as detailed elsewhere on the forum. Pretty happy with it and it wasn't overly difficult to set up considering I have very...

    Expobar Brewtus mkIV Double Boiler PID Loved taking it out of the packaging :-)
  5. Gaggia Forum
    Having just received and fitted my auber PID this afternoon I've only had time for a quick play with it but I'm looking forward to working out how best to use it. I just had a few questions for anyone who has experience of a PID'd classic. I have had a read through the instruction manual and the...

    QM67 or Andreja? Both lovely machines. I presently use a Gaggia TS for 1 to 2 cups a day for both my lady & I. Approximately once a month, the crew will descend & I'll be pumping out lattes, frappes & Americanos. The TS is really superb for this. I like the Idea of a PID, though I know that...
  7. Expobar Forum
    Machine working fine yesterday. Switched it on today, left it for 20 minutes and came back to find the PID reading 118 when it had been set to 92. Turned it off left it half an hour and tried again and same thing happened. The PID value also changed rapidly from 78 to 87 then back to 72 and up...

    The review below is a summary of my thoughts and not intended to be a full in-depth analysis of each machine Today I had the pleasure of spending a delightful 4 hours at Bella Barista, hosted by Claudette and her team. The aim was to evaluate the R58 vs Alex Duetto Mk IV (aka new Alex Duetto...

    Just searching around for stuff, I came across this interesting project from the beer brewers! Ive been getting alot of PID information from the beer forums lately. Basically, its a Pi with an IO controller and an LCD, so completely configurable (if you can do that kind of thing) and a...
  10. Gaggia Forum
    Hi all, I have just acquired a beautiful Gaggia classic and I am thinking of fitting a PID. I think that I have understood the basic principles behind the operation and how this needs to be done (thanks to the many forum posts). Nevertheless, I don't think that I will buy the rather expensive...

    I could do with some advice. I'm looking to upgrade this year from my Piccino. I was wondering what the main differences are between the Expobar Office Leva Dual Boiler Coffee Machine & PID and the Rocket R58, which costs around £600 more. Another option was the cherub, Its just a shame...

    OK, here's the thing: I fell into lever world almost by chance; I was just about to treat myself to a Rocket or an Expobar Dual when a second-hand Olympia Cremina came up for sale. I loved it. The Londinium I came along and I was so impressed by that I bought it and sold the Olympia. Lever...

    Ok then my PID has arrived from China, SSR and thermocouple included, so now ready to get modding. Before I begin though I want to know a couple of things and thought one of you on here may help me? Firstly the thermocouple itself, when I unscrew the old thermostat will I get water gushing out...
  14. Sold
    Now sold, thank you! Hi all I have a La Spaziale 'Vivaldi' machine for sale. It is from 2006 and in used, but very good condition. The Vivaldi is one of the best machines in terms of temperature stability due to it's dual boiler and PID features. Other features include a rotary pump...

    FAO Expobar Leva Dual owners, really. The pesky thing is playing up again. About 8 months ago the readout on the PID started going up and down at will and then went to static A1 error code, leading me to diagnose crapped out temperature probe. Swapping it out for a new one solved the problem...
  16. Gaggia Forum
    Hello all, I've got an Auber PID fitted to my classic and of late I've been playing with the settings and tasting out. For now I've left it on the default and change things each time to try different temperatures. I presume other forum users have done this or similar given the ubiquity of the...
  17. Coffee Accessories
    Does anyone have any experience of the Expobar G10 (the latest model, with three boilers and a PID)? It's on our shortlist for a small coffeeshop venture, but there is very little info on it on the internet. Any advice appreciated. Cheers, JP

    My next mod / upgrade is to PID my beloved Silvia, but which PID? Research on the Internet shows there are several models with differing features, different suppliers including sellers on eBay and possibly importing them directly from the USA. Being retired (AKA fiscally challenged!) means I...
  19. 😎😎 Show Off Your Setup 😍😍
    Just thought I'd show my compact little coffee corner with the finally 'finished' (for how long?) Rancilio Silvia V3 with integrated homemade Arduino controller. I am aware this is comparable to a Vauxhall Nova with go faster strips and an MDF spoiler, but I enjoy making things as much as I do...
  20. 👋 Introductions 👋
    Hello all, My first post and sit writing with a cup of Taylors Lava Java filter coffee from my Krups Expresso/filter machine. I have just had a new kitchen/dining room renovation and I'm contemplating buying a new coffee machine. My wife and I are retired but as I mainly worked from home...
