Thank you, your instructions were awesome and so easy to follow. I completed the project in 30 minutes. Definitely the best instructions for this device on TH-cam.
Wow, absolutely fantastic video about PID installation. I just got a used Rancilio Silvia and i heard this is mandatory but for me not so easy. Seems wuite demanding, nevertheless big congratulations on the awesome video.
@@BeatTheBushDIYI very much second the request for a Silvia gaggiuino install video please! I am in the process of (painfully) doing my gaggia, and my Silvia will follow.
Great video, thanks! Is it possible to make a rectangular hole on the front of the machine and install the PID there, without the box/outer shell? So that it’s built in?
Awesomely clearly explained! Can one still use the ordinary functions for brewing and steaming? Ignoring the PID. I’m thinking it might be hard to explain to my partner the buttons don’t do the things they do anymore 😂
Yes, the original buttons still works. For example, sometimes the brew didn't have enough volume and I can turn on the second button to continue the water flow a little longer.
I watch another TH-camr and he also did it himself and said.. don't do it and get it pre-done... stating it was a hassle... looking at your video it seems not too bad... oh I also have the same expresso machine and been debating if I want to do this mode or not
It's difficult but doable. People that doesn't have a machine may want to buy one that is pre-modified and costs about $100 extra on top of the kit costs.
I bought the black pid version all screws are counter-sink and painted black do i need to scratch the surface and find another screw to attach the yellow/green ground cable? Or is there another spot i can use like the back panel screws or somewhere else?
The screw body already makes contact with the metal. You might want to double check this but if you put in a loop type post, it may still make proper ground contact, just not on the paint surface.
@@BeatTheBushDIY but in your video you have the brew switch on and nothing comes out until you press the button on the pid controller. How do you use the original brew switch normally?
@@BeatTheBushDIY I just installed this on my machine last night. I need to flip the brew button on and then press the button in the Auber PID to start the brew process. So to answer your question, from my experience, flipping the brew button on no longer initiates the brew process. But you need to have it flipped on before pressing the button on the Auber PID.

Just installed my PID just following step by step using your video difference is my Rancilio is a V1
Very helpful video. My installation went perfectly with your help.
Thank you. I appreciate the time and effort put into explaining this in a way that I feel confident I can make this upgrade, myself.
Glad it was helpful!
Incredibly helpful. Also would really love if you made the internet’s first gaggiuino tutorial for the Silvia
So clearly demonstrated and explained. Thank you!

Do you think you could do a gaguino mod tutorial on the Silvia. You'd definitely get a lot of views!!! Plus I need one 😅
You're the second person to request this, I may have to look into this if I get any more requests.
@BeatTheBushDIY mission accepted, I'll find more who want to see it 😂
Please make make a video covering the gaguino for the Silvia!
Hi, can you please do a gaggunino mod tutorial on the silvia please

I remember seeing some info on cutting the hole but stainless is hard to cut and the module would be heated more when inside.
@@BeatTheBushDIY Okay, thank you! I think I will try it out and put some insulate on the module.
Awesomely clearly explained!

awesome, thank you , keep up the good work!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏
is it possible to install it for a Silvia v3?

how much esspresso shos can you do in an hour give or take? with this specific machine.
It's a single boiler so if you want steamed milk you have to wait a few minutes for it to heat back up. But I never tried to consecutively pull shots.
@@BeatTheBushDIY ok thanks for the info. is it possible to crank out as much shots as possible while keeping the milk hot?
You cannot do this with a single boiler. The temp dips after doing a shot and needs a minute to get back up to temperature for shots.
@BeatTheBushDIY ok what machine would you reccomend that can do multiple shots ? Under or around this price point of 1500$ or less
Is the brew button invalid after installing?
No. You can manually start a brew with that button as well.
@@BeatTheBushDIY but in your video you have the brew switch on and nothing comes out until you press the button on the pid controller. How do you use the original brew switch normally?
@@brydenarndt1360I have the same question!

@@jcrawfordcanadaafter the pid install your brew button remains on. You then manually control the brew via the hot water switch or the pid.
