you can save so much time if you switch your scales on putting a cup on them beforehand. It is also not recommended to leave your portafilter with the coffee ground in the group head, because the coffee can "bake" . it is necessary to start brewing immediately. this is why it's important to tare your cup beforehand and make the scales ready. Great video and setup, enjoyed it.

Great video, How did you start the machine with the app?

What a total rigmarole for a cup of coffee, get a life 😢

It did not work for me.

Thingiverse brought me. :)

Was about to save $15 until I watched your video.

Peak Design certainly has some ho hum products, but the capture clip is not one of those. The imitators still try to reinvent it, but the PD is still the one that is most convenient, reliable and ergonomic. I own practically all of the variants. The only PD downside is wide webbing prohibitive.

Hi I just got the notte (manuals in my country) but it seems that I can't dial it right. And after like 2-3 doses of grind, the body gets very hot. Is that normal with your grinder?

I'm glad I was able to see your video, hard to find others who installed the hood deflector. I'm glad you were able to close your hood, I have the AVS bug deflector 2 which is what yours looks like. Did you have any uses at all with the hood deflector and light? I heard the lights die after 7 months or so. I'll take my chances they offer 1-year warranty. Are yours still working?

It's kind of ridiculous to open your phone, open the app, and then talk to it to get it to turn on. Would be useful maybe if you were in another area of the house I suppose.

Glad I watched this as I was about to order the PGYTECH. Th plastic back plate put me off. It's faster to deploy but not worth rissking dropping an expensive camera. Thank you.

Nice 👍🏾 what scale are you using 🧐

Hi, which tamper would be perfect for the Gaggia Classic Evo Pro? Thank you

Thanks to you I know that the pgy clip is not fully metal, and that matters to me, cause I also think that someday will fail and that day my camera could break too. Good review 👍

"not an affiliate link, I don't do all that" Oh man I love you. Lol This is good old fashioned TH-cam. No VPN, and a DIY option. Thank you. Never change. Thanks for sharing.

Grind finer

It's very uncomfortable to see that Ur face is blurry but Ur hand is sharp when u were talking without a product in Ur hand. It's like looking at a photo that I got the focus wrong.

Dude I have no idea what grind size to put it at, any clue? D

@Peyton Martin, I like your small tool tray. It looks like it may have been 3D printed. If so, any chance you might share what specific print files you used for that?......maybe a link to where I might find that? I really like that relatively small and clean way to organize/store things.

Why ignotion . Any other 10 amp options

Personally I like using the wdt tool with the funnel still attached to the portafilter

I am sure, plenty of other people have mentioned it, but tighten up the grind to be finer... That shot was too runny. It should also improve the taste of the espresso.

I ended up with a a different brand. I went ulanzi F38

Awesome video and I love the lighting. My Gaggia arrives tomorrow and I cant wait!

Lovely!

where did you find the set at 2.27 with the portafilter, tamper/spinner and WDT? did you 3d print that black holder? looks very sleek/professional.

PGYTECH 100% 👌

How the retention?

You should have saved money on all that puck preparation kit and buy a shades of coffee kit instead (PID, dimmer, and pressure gauge). All that time wasted trying to get that perfect puck and you still got some channeling. Focus on grind and dose first. When you get the grind right, channeling isn't really a big issues. All this WDT stuff is mostly marketing, your grind doesn't even look uneven or clumped so it is a waste of time. All you need to do is work on your traditional tamping technique, that's all you need. A couple knocks before tamping do help break any clumps that could be in the puck. Watch videos of pro baristas tamping, look at their elbow and how they try to get very even pressure on the puck. This is the MOST important part about tamping and should be your tamping focus. Grind, tamp, brew, taste. Before doing a milk based drink. Taste the raw espresso. Adjust grind based on flavor. Go at it again. Once you get the hang of this get a PID and start messing with temperature. Then you can start playing around with flow rate/pressure. At this point you can consider doing the whole WDT thing, and I promise you will not notice any difference and ditch it.

Thanks man, great comparison - helped me make my mind.

Great vid - How did you wire a smart switch?

That was too fast, aim for 30 seconds pull.

Nicely satisfying Gaggia Classic its hightime to buy E61 group head lever type machine like the Mara X to be more fullfilling

Very relaxing and that’s exactly the setup I’m considering. But now I can’t imagine having 4-5 guests and serving them i.e. cappucinos. With that pace the last one would get his like half an hour later ;)

What size of tools(tamper, distributor) do you use?

Crikey… i’d have to get up 2 hours earlier if you were making the morning coffee…🤦🏻‍♂️

Need a wider shot so we can see your indicator lights. What was that thing you did with the steam wand just before extracting, preinfusion? Looking forward to your journey to espresso perfection.

Incredible vid, super chill vibe….don’t change a thing on the production. Do more as the shot pulls get better and better. I think the grind needed to be dialed in a bit more, as it seemed a bit runny. Watched it twice! 😆

Does peak design plate compatible with pgytech base?

Nice informative video. I still went with the Pgytech. I actually am right handed and carry on my left shoulder strap and the way I withdraw the camera is to use two hands. For me it was easier to secure the camera in my right hand and push the release button with my left to remove it from the clip. Another factor was the play/slop in the Peak Design. Though I doubt it would ever effect the retention of the camera. I just can’t stand anything that wiggles and jiggles. Another point for the Pgytech is that you can buy quick release adapters to be used on pretty much any tripod that will accept an Arca Swiss plate. The final factor was the cost. I bought three of the Pgytech clips and two quick release adapter plates. I don’t carry any of my cameras on my belt. And I always use a camera sling though I doubt either clip would ever actually fail. The back of the Pgytech is made of a poly reinforced plastic similar to what modern handgun frames are made of. I would be surprised to see it ever fail under normal rigorous use. But no matter what you use, a clip is the sh*t and definitely improves the ability to take photos. Being able to instantly secure your camera to dig through your car or bend over and pick stuff up or kneel down and set up a scene without your camera swinging around like a piñata is worth $60 or $100 for that matter.

my peak design clip, the unlock button broke after 1 year.

nice video ! keep up the good work!

Peak design for me continues to unscrew after a while even after tightening it really well and almost dropped my camera on a hike. I don’t want to babysit the clip ya know that’s the downfall for me with the peak design. Also you didn’t mention the extra lock on the beatle.

Too slow, i dont understand why he need to weight the coffee bean from the tube... We can finish the shot in 1 minute

Just set playback speed on x2.0, it will save 3min of your life.

All that needs now is a Gaggiuino mod.

Cool video, just about to pull the trigger on this setup but probably a specialita. Have been considering a HX/dual boiler instead but this seems to fit the budget and will help me learn since it doesn’t have all the fancy gadgets. Seems like most end up nodding this one anyways lol

After installing the light did you see battery slowly dropping down. My battery would be around 14 volts and now I’m noticing it dropping to 12.5 volts then going back around 13.5 volt

Where is your portafiler from please?
