I was not trying to justify the Soviet Union’s actions or anything… I was just remained of Mollath’s case when I read OP’s article.

Something like this could never happen in a civilized country like Germany… Just ask Gustl Mollath about that…

Yes, that was also my main reason for choosing GaggiMate.

I chose the kit. It was just easier this way. I got the pro because I think that the price difference between the pro and the normal is pretty small.

For the results I definitely see an improvement. Probably mainly from the more stable temperature. I’m also excited to try the pressure profiling. So far I have not tried it. I can say that the espresso from it is at least as good good as that from the la Cimbali we have at work.

Thanks. I forgot to add links to the project.

Yes. Since last weekend the pressure profiles work in the stable version.

It was not too bad. I finished it on two afternoons over a weekend. And I don’t have a lot of experience with electronics. I do recommend having a multimeter on hand to check the connections.

The documentation is not perfect, but the people behind the project are constantly improving it. Also, they are very helpful on discord (even though I cannot stand discord as a platform).
