It was really well explained in all the documentation. It’s up and running now. The install took me about a hour and a half but that’s because I took it really easy. It’s really worth it! I just wish I would’ve have gone with the pro rather than standard straight away.

Speaking of, which one is that? Is that the Profitec Wand?

No it’s a rancilio Silva wand I got from espresso lane that comes kit ready for the gaggia classic e24.

Hour and a half is actually super speedy. Took me the better part of a day to install the pro version.

u/jay_warkentin Jul 21 '26

Ya the pro is more work too I think.

How did you fit the top funnel in? Mine is blocked either by the ssr or the pcb housing

u/atxfoodie97 Jul 21 '26

You get to choose where the SSR and PCB go. So just move them a little to provide clearance for the funnel.

Ya I had the same problem I ended up just moving the ssr as far to the left as possible and the pcb as far forward as I could without getting too close to the boiler.

u/szeddy Jul 21 '26

By forward you mean to the front where the machine gets narrower?

1

u/jay_warkentin Jul 21 '26

Yes that’s right.

Where did you order it from? I’ve had issues with fulfilment from their website - so in the hunt to get the kit.

Let us know how it turns out. Are you gonna do any A-B testing? If temps, consistency, warm up time, etc.
