OMG ! What an upgrade ! My temp is now so much more manageable, very quick to stabilise, ready to pull another shot in seconds. Steam power is also much improved. The greater capacity of the boiler, though relatively small, plays a great role in those improvements I think. With my PID and my dimmer control for the pump, I think I have reach the maximum that can be achieved with the Classic Pro, and what every home barista aims for : consistancy. Thanks Mr.Shades !

Wow, no reviews. I’m a total newbie to the world of espresso and have a couple thoughts on this new brass boiler. It’s the opposite of what I expected. So forgiving compared to my aluminum boiler that I can barely heat up my machine and pull two shots in a row during a work meeting and they all look and taste the same. The steam power is pretty impressive, I can use l half the amount of milk and it fills my jug without having to consider the angle, depth, temperature. Brass is very forgiving. The electrical connections occasionally need some tweaks so I recommend buying from someone like Shades of Coffee who can walk you through any installation issues which can be quite serious.
