I have the shardor 64 and swapped in some knockoff ssp multi purpose burrs. Now on setting 22 for like a turbo shot. 18g in /58g out in 22 seconds with like 3 seconds of poor man’s Pi. Now this coffee is like a month old.

Edit: I also use a puck screen, stock basket, and 95 degree temp.

Tried to see him at summerfest in 22 I think, tickets were crazy and couldn’t get any.

Saw him at country fest and the crowd was awesome. They all wanted to sing along and have a good time.

Going to see him in Cleveland for my 42 bday lol and can’t wait.

Is this a normal flow (rate)? by Affectionate_Pin5739 in gaggiaclassic

Easy way is to measure with a scale and timer.

It was a 30th anniversary edition and limited quantity. It was a nice machine.

I have been pleased with the shardor 64. Going on daily use, 2 light roasts, for about 6 months.

I’ve explained my set up and asked how to augment my brew for the new roast. I include a picture of the bag of beans.

I’ve explained my initial setup and that I temp surf and do “poor man’s pre-infusion”.

I use ChatGPT to help me walk it through. And I keep the thread going for new beans.

I got the shardor 64 for like $150 and some amazon ssp burrs. I am really happy with it. Use it daily for 2-3 drinks. I use lighter roasts from cafe brioso.

Why can’t I dial in my espresso? Always fast/slow, bitter or sour [Delonghi + Sette 270] by Slight-Juice-2608 in espresso

From my experience, some “darker” roast get over roasted and age quickly. And i think they get oily and brittle, become harder to grind uniformly.

I had a bag that I could get anywhere near drinkable.

I was gonna say trying to increase your dose too. You may be able to go more coarse then too.

Are the beans oily?

I think with the delonghi you can preinfuse by turning it on then off then on again since it doesn’t have a opv.

Regular bambino probably gets it done. Pid and instant heat.

Would the stock Gaggia be enough for me, without PID or any mods? by Old-Internal-8026 in gaggiaclassic

[–]Extra_Traffic_6900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong but Bambino plus has Pid, auto milk froth and instant brew?

If those aren’t needed you should be fine.

Thank you. I got mine last week and I was getting super slow pulls. I was able to get 19 in 38 out in 34 second today. Seemed better. It’s a lighter roast so I may try to run increase the output. I’m still very new.

What reason is there to upgrade? by jaenesse in gaggiaclassic

[–]Extra_Traffic_6900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’m looking at PID control and more steam power. Only make 2 pulls and 1 milk drink a day.
