@Aid1987 Single basket is not the best solution. Bean to espresso ratio 1:2 approximately, meaning that if you grind 10g of beans, you want 20g out.. However, when you press single shot in Barista Express it pours out 30g of expresso as a default. I suggest you swap to non pressurised double basket and do 18g in and 36-40g out for a good shot. Alternatively, change the amount sage extracts automatically. -
Having explored other types of making coffee in the last couple of years - pourover/V60, Lever machines etc. I recently dug my Classic out of the garage and spruced her up for daily service. It started out life as one of these: And about 8 years ago I popped the internals from a Classic inside (near enough the same chassis) and since then i've tweaked it a bit more - opv mod, pressure gauge, silvia steam wand etc. Last weekend I re-installed a PID to the machine, after the first installation went pop when filling up the water reservoir. Here she stands as of now... I am tempted to get the chasssis powdercoated and freshened up but i'm not in a rush for that. PID is controlling just the brew temperature at the moment as I can't fathom out the wiring for the steam as well! Flat whites are tasting better than ever before too, which must be down to having better control of the brewing temperature. Just need to find a suitable project box for the PID which will be the next hurdle! -
How temperature stable is it? It doesn't have PID I think? At the moment I have a Rancilio Silvia with "the daring dutch" PID which is working very well. But at the same time it's tiny, and the temperature seems to cart a bit through the shot, and steaming isn't all that exciting. Basically to stop rambling - what differences would I expect? -
Small elastic band worked perfectly. 2 or 3 now in the travel case. -

Quite straight forward, there is plenty of info on here and internet guides, Google la Pavoni history, and look for Francesco,s site he has a year by year details of the changes to the machine over time. Good news is you can get spares for almost all of them, avoid the pre 74 models unless you enjoy a serious challenge. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk -
