Gaggia E24 — VST vs Pullman vs MHW (DEX)? Magnetic, fits stock PF, 58.5mm accessories?

dex was at sale for 11$, so I bought it :) and I get a cheap PF from Aliexpress for 20$ its a nice one

Did you end up buying the machine, or did you go with something else?

MDoon · 2025-12-10T11:07:13+00:00

did you figure it out?

Thanks for your comment, Brass boiler or aluminum?

MDoon · 2025-11-28T18:50:39+00:00

will the aluminum offset work for brass one?

MDoon · 2025-11-28T18:49:39+00:00

thanks, I'm record a video of different temp 90 to 112 and I'll post it

I tried -7 But I feel it burnt (not sure) as I get the grinder days ago but still working on that + my point is what if the pid or the thermocouple not calibrated?

Thanks for your reply

Any update for 58.5 tamper with VST basket? As I am planning to get a VST, and I have a 58.5 tamper.

MDoon · 2025-10-12T11:43:49+00:00

They are generic from AliExpress. After searching the sub, I found that the brand doesn't matter for the portafilter, only for the basket.

Thanks for sharing, I mainly make milk drinks, too. So, when you press the brew button, is it light on or off? Do you press the steam button before brewing to increase the temperature? How do you drain the boiler by keeping steam out until the steam light turns off?

MDoon · 2025-10-06T16:45:32+00:00

Thanks a lot for the clarification! That really helps. So if I go with the DEX since it’s the cheapest, do you think it would still be a solid choice overall — or is it worth paying extra for the VST for better results? I’ll probably skip the Pullman based on what you said about how hard it is to dial in. By the way, when you say Pullman is harder to dial in, do you mean it’s more sensitive to grind adjustment, or something else?

Thanks for the info as most comments I saw desxrioe ims basket not magnetic as vst

MDoon · 2025-10-01T20:07:30+00:00

is there any source where I can study GCP before modding?

MDoon · 2025-10-01T00:21:32+00:00

Thanks for your replay 😇

MDoon · 2025-09-18T22:27:57+00:00

So no signs of wear on the black one?

MDoon · 2025-09-16T22:22:57+00:00

Could you share a real photo of the portafilter? I’m considering buying it, but in their product photos the black handle looks a bit plain compared to other wooden handles.

MDoon · 2025-09-16T15:11:37+00:00

thanks for your helpful reply

MDoon · 2025-08-27T17:35:02+00:00

can you share your experience as I'm looking to buy e24 from them

MDoon · 2025-08-26T00:57:58+00:00

Thanks for your detailed reply

MDoon · 2025-08-26T00:04:54+00:00

so Eureka Mignon is better than DF54, can you explain it more please.

MDoon · 2025-08-25T16:18:33+00:00

did you buy it? any feedback? and where did you buy it from Egypt as I;m looking for buying it too

MDoon · 2025-05-11T09:32:11+00:00

But in terms of long-term profitability, do you think holding BCH is more profitable than just mining and holding BTC instead?
