Only pulled a couple shots but it’s definitely an improvement in workflow. Not having to temp surf is nice and the auto pre-infusion is a plus!
My only annoyance so far is that I like to rinse my portafilter out after I’ve knocked the puck and it does the pre-infusion so it takes a little longer. Not really a dealbreaker though!
It is! Pretty straight forward to install, but there's a part in the instructions which mentions "be careful and don't lose this screw into the group head as it will be a real pain to sort". I would highly reccomend sticking to that instruction...unfortunately I didn't!
I really enjoy this mod for how consistent it keeps the temperature. I am thinking about doing a similar upgrade to an older Gaggia Classic that has pressure sensors and runs on a Raspberry Pi
