UPGRADE Your Gaggia Classic with These 8 Easy Tweaks!

In this video, I share the first easy and cheap upgrades that I would make if I bought a second hand or new Gaggia Classic, the first ones that I made both in my Gaggia Classic 2006 and in my new Gaggia Classic E24. Below, you will find the specs and links for every part, component or 3d print model that I mentioned, so that you don't need to make a big research to find out which model is compatible with your machine. Notice that some are important for your health and safety if you bought second hand, some will improve the performance with small interventions and a few are for a more comfortable workflow. 00:00 - Intro 00:26 - Dispersion plate 02:06 - Shower screen 04:16 – Bolts 07:42 – Power switch mod 09:09 – Smart Plug 10:19 – 9 bar spring 14:06 – Low clearance for cup / scale 16:06 – Thermometer for temp surfing Other videos that I recommend: Gaggia Classic - Temperature surfing:    • Temperature Control without PID: THE MAP f...   3 main mods for your espresso machine:    • Main mods for your espresso machine   Gaggia E24 (including temperature surfing):    • Gaggia Classic E24 – Why is it so special?   =========================== Itens that I used/mentioned in this video (most affiliated links): Gaggia Classic Pro Evo (not E24): Amazon: https://geni.us/rcRaf48 1 / 2 - Stainless steel dispersion plate for Gaggia Classic, IMS Shower Screen and bolts: Amazon: https://geni.us/tuneupkitgaggia Cleaning brush: Aliexpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_ol8...
