Siliconslave's how to make espresso thread

[Dave85]

Welcome to the funny side…


Love mine, I’d advise looking at getting a dial with a scale as it’s probably the only weakness of the machine as you can’t move between grind settings easily. I have the ARO Espresso one as the Eureka replacement dials just aren’t precise enough for a machine with stepless adjustment. Then when you occasionally want a different grind it’s difficult to dial back into espresso without wasting coffee, so arguably worth investing in early if you change brew methods.

It can also be improved with a single dose hopper but I’m pretty happy with the standard one personally.

I tend to buy the exact same coffee every time as I only drink decalf so should be hopefully easy enough to dial in and never touch it hah. But I did buy the single dose kit should arrive next week, Happy to look at the dial with scale if you have a link. I was looking at getting the larger dial kit for it as well.

Mods have arrived..

9 bar spring, new shower screen and a bottomless unpressurised portafilter.
Best I get fitting them.

Which bottomless portafilter did you go for? I think that that may be my next unnecessary/exciting purchase.

And how's the Gaggia? You sound happy enough with it!

Very good, I’ll be keeping it.
Nice to get a bit of worktop real estate back with it having a small footprint.

Portafilter..
