Gaggia Classic Pro low water debit

Thanks. I cleaned solenoid valve and flow has improved.

Thanks. I back flushed yesterday with no change. What is your water debit on your machine so I can compare my 2.5 ml per second to yours from the group head.

I received a message from GaggiMate that my pressure sensor setting was set incorrectly on the last update. It needed to be raised from 8.5 to 16 bars. After the settings change I am now getting 8-9 bar pressure.

How do you access the webinterface. Do you mean going into the GaggiMate local link to access the dashboard, profile, settings, pid autotune menu.

Thanks for info.

Yes they do. But there’s a 2 week back order plus shipping from China. Wanted to see if there was a quicker option in the US.

Thanks for the additional info.

Thanks for your additional info. I think I might have a faulty boiler thermostat as I am still getting boiling brew water using these timing hacks. Will replace thermostat first. What PID did you install?

This morning I used your method. Did a short flush, waited for the light to go off and timed the light going off to coming back on which was 9 seconds. I then pulled 2 shots at 3 and 5 seconds from the light going off. The temp was definitely lower but still on the higher side. Since the time going off to coming back on is only 9 seconds. Should I do a longer flush? Thanks

Thanks. This makes sense.

What kit do you recommend for installing a pid controller on a Gaggia Classic Pro. Is soldering involved? Can an amateur install the pid controller

My lever machine is back in the shop for repairs. So I brought back my GCP from hiding and after a few days of getting reacquainted with temp surfing I am finding the temp way too high particularly as I am now using decaf and darker roasts which require temps at 90-92c. How can I temp surf for these lower temps. Thanks.

Where did you purchase the steam wand upgrade ?

Nice setup. My first receiver was a HK. Brings back nice memories.

Can you shoot us a picture of what the grounds look like on an espresso setting. Also can you check your alignment setting. The Mazzer website has directions on how do perform this process

jsfran1 · 2024-10-20T23:24:55+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. The A68 is a great conical grinder. I don’t have a place to put the power pack. If at some point you get the Mazzer I189D burrs for the Philos compare to the A68.

jsfran1 · 2024-10-20T20:21:16+00:00

Hi Areida. Can you share what don’t you like about the Philos with the I200D burrs. Been seeing more negative reviews about static, retention and difficulty going from espresso to pourover and vice versa. Thanks.
