Finally got a hold of the last attachment I needed and just finished doing the OPV mod on my Classic. Turned out to be easier than I expected.
Pressure reading before the mod:
[attachment=12357]
And after the mod (just over 10 bars of static pressure):
[attachment=12358]
Went out to buy some new beans today, so all is prepped for tomorrow's morning espresso. Will report back with my impressions on the post-mod shot.
Now that I've done the OPV mod, installed the Silvia wand, ordered a naked portafilter and acquired a decent tamper and non-pressurised basket, I think I've laid the foundations for a decent morning cuppa
Have I missed anything?
Oh, and here's a thread explaining how to do a blind OPV adjustment, should anyone need it: http://www.gaggiausersgroup.com/index.php?topic=231.0.
