My Gaggia would be too slow for a commercial operation, but, if I flip the switch to steam right after the shot, by the time I go to the fridge and pour out 200 ml milk and walk back to the machine, it’s ready to steam.

And, you need to flip the switch back to coffee right after steaming and then run the brew switch to refill the boiler, which pulls the temp down.

I’d still like a PID control with a readout, though.




Auber instruments makes a PID integration kit for the gaggia classic / classic pro. It also gives you a pre infusion cycle as well.
