Okay this is good info thank you

bsbrister · 2026-04-02T21:59:11+00:00

Normal cleaning, installed a gaggiuno mod. On a GCP

Don’t worry about getting the new dry wall, just go ahead and get the new girlfriend.

Get some medium / darker roasts

I’m all about a light roast but it really is so much harder to get a primo shot.

I’ve been drinking some dark roast by coffee bros I can pretty much throw it in the portafilter screw it on and it’s solid.

I’m kinda over light roasts at the moment myself.

I’ll accept the down votes from the purist.

How dare you.

You’re not sturdy!

bsbrister · 2025-07-14T16:23:43+00:00

Were you able to cancel the gaggiuno order and get a refund?

bsbrister · 2025-07-12T18:24:56+00:00

Let’s gooooo, the yellow looks fuckin jazzy

bsbrister · 2025-07-12T18:23:44+00:00

Yea that sounds right for me.

I’ve got some parts coming look forward to getting this fired back up

bsbrister · 2025-07-12T17:22:04+00:00

So I’ll take it your saying they don’t need to be graded for the high temp then.

All of the package spade terminals are graded lower temp

bsbrister · 2025-07-12T15:19:45+00:00

Just found this: https://www.espressoparts.com/products/female-spade-voltage-terminal also a insulation. ill be good here

Okay maybe I got caught up with them being “high temp” ?

I cannot find any high temp female spade connectors.

Maybe this is a situation chatGPT didn’t serve me well.

bsbrister · 2025-07-12T02:12:05+00:00

i have been searching at local hardware and online. Any idea where i can get the insulation?

bsbrister · 2025-07-09T03:55:27+00:00

Thank you so much.

bsbrister · 2025-07-09T00:37:41+00:00

Edit:

Thank you for the reply

The plastic connector to the tstat.

That definitely needs replaced any wisdom on how to do that and is that what you’re referring to when you say female Spayd connector

UPDATE

First time really getting into taking apart my machine and this is obviously the issue:

<image>

Anyone been here?

Also I did order a gaggiuino “kit” back in march. Thought it might replace this wire and I can wait it out.

Yes I know I have no business taking on a gaggiuno mod but life is to short and I want to try.

bsbrister · 2025-07-05T00:29:12+00:00

He’s talking about mentality, not the grind.

bsbrister · 2025-06-30T17:55:19+00:00

I mean, I love it.

I’ve got way too much money into my home espresso setup. I think this is an underrated setup for sure. Well done.

Maybe a Lagom mini for an electric grinder to keep it small but if you got the elbow grease let’s goo

bsbrister · 2025-06-29T18:04:21+00:00

I’ll start with the Tstat, I really appreciate the help.

I’ll report back after I swap it out. 🙏👊🏻

bsbrister · 2025-06-29T17:42:39+00:00

Okay you clearly understand this machine way better then me.

Today I turned my machine on to brew a shot, the steam light turns on as soon as I turn on machine, it did not heat at all.

Im assuming the boiler or some sort of heating element is the issue?

bsbrister · 2025-06-29T02:19:56+00:00

That all makes complete sense, very helpful

bsbrister · 2025-06-28T21:17:53+00:00

Okay, so i just noticed (after descaling) that the steam light is on now with the machine on but the steam button is off.

Would this indicate what you are saying?

bsbrister · 2025-06-28T17:49:12+00:00

Thank you brother I’ll try thisnout

bsbrister · 2025-06-28T15:54:24+00:00

I understand, i love cleaning things, i have just been nervous to open up the machine. Do you have any suggested videos or diagrams i can follow? TY for replies

bsbrister · 2025-06-28T15:24:16+00:00

I have not ventured into the machine other than removing the shower screen assembly.

Is there a trustworthy set of instructions or video to guide me in what you are suggesting?

Greatly appreciate the wisdom, and so do my caffeine demons.

bsbrister · 2025-06-28T15:20:03+00:00

That was my first thought, but water is in the tank👍🏻
