I love 6 bars, here's a kit, haven't used it as I have an old HX machine

Distro Coffee Labs 9 Bar 6 Bar OPV Spring Modification for Espresso Machines - Compatible with Gaggia Classic : Amazon.com.au: Home

This search on youtube is great for 6 bars- super sweet, rich and also amazingly forgiving

Hi kevviek, Can you please advise cost and shipping details for the 9 bar spring. Thanks

[Lifecomm]

Hi there. May I know the cost plus postage. Can you also advise how you will send it. Via Australia Post? I live in Melbourne. Cheers :-)

Hi kevviek,

New poster here too, so hoping you can PM me too.

I wanted to check to see if you have any of those springs left for the Gaggia Classic. Wanting to trick this thing out, and this looks like one of those changes that yield real results.

Hi kevviek, I would be interested. About to buy a gaggia classic evo, and this would be the first mod I have in mind. Let me know if you have one or two to spare and how much, please?

[kevviek]

FWIW, I ordered some from China, got 8.5bar which I think is pretty good. I have a bunch available…

Is 24mm x 7mm x 0.7mm the standard spring or the 9 bar version?

Hey,
I have access to a spring maker, and would be able to replicate the 9 and 6.5 and 5 bar if we can rustle up some samples.
they will be made in Melbourne in 0.75mm stainless steel.
alternatively using the pre-mentioned sizes I could play around and get close??

Outer diameter 7mm
length 24mm

we could try different spring rates across the same length as the original 14/15 bar spring?? That may be the 24mm. I’m unsure of the sizes.

appreciate any feedback or comments.

Did this go anywhere in the end? I plan to buy a 9 bar spring, however many suppliers don't post here, or charge post like the spring comes in the glovebox of an attached '58 Chev. Shades of Coffee seems best at $18 for a kit, and they sell lots of other Gaggia improvements for reasonable prices, so I may end up just doing that.....
