Coffee machine


Recommended Posts

Yeah, my dream machine that - just expensive! I'm sure it's worth every cent, I just don't have enough cents hahaha

I was quite surprised myself when my partner bought it. She wasn’t even into coffee. The deal was I would buy all the coffee, which I was doing anyway. I guess I spend about R750 a month on coffee.

That's a deal I would take any day of the week!

Doing a full rebuild and refurb on my old school Gaggia acquisition, just for the sake of it and to learn.

Got my bargain old school Gaggia Coffee and MDF grinder up and running.

Blasted and powder coated satin black the old cream colour casings, cleaned everything, serviced and replaced gaskets.

 

Now just to perfect my grind and shot pull.

 

Also got a cheap PID set coming in for it.

Been a fun project

That has come.out well- where will you place the PID? In the case or a separate project box?

Still waiting on the PID, will probably go in a case on the side. Trying to figure out a way to fit it in the case, but there might not be enough space with the water funnel and pump in the back of the machine.
