I have been planning on modding my Gaggia Classic with a full PID Kit (preinfusion, brew temp and steam temp regulation)
As well as getting a pressure gauge to make sure the BAR is set perfectly. I have OPV modded it, installed a new Silvia wand and it works pretty good.
Im going to be buying aRocky Doser Compak K3 Push too
Im at that point where Im about to drop around $300 more on this $400 machine to mod it.. is it really worth it or should I just throw down the extra cash and buy a new machine? Can I get anything that will really blow a fully modded Gaggia Classic with PID and all the mods possible?
I am willing to spend in the range of $1000. I just dont want to spend the money unless its really worth it. If its not, I would rather just save up and buy a really nice machine down the road. In other words, Ill mod the Gaggia for the time being if I can find something great in my price range.
At what level can you get a home espresso machine that is solid all around: Temperature stability, micro foam, perfect BAR, consistant shots etc.
Let me know what you guys think.. we are starting to get obsessed with pouring the perfect shot... ;D
EDIT: Willing to spend up to $2000 or whatever it takes to meet the criteria I listed below
