This is the first pull of finished version, so don't judge the espresso too harshly.
Landed on using a top mounted Bianca-style paddle for controlling the flow.
Plastic parts printed in heat resistant ABS.
The pump is a Fluid-O-Tech FG304.

Concretely, what more does it bring?
I see that you also have a GCP. Is the gear pump too large for GCP?
Damn, even with added flow control, that appears to need a finer grind.
Also, 22 sec “pre-infusion”?
Well done!
Been looking to buy a well used Silvia and experiment with something like this. Have you used a separate PSU or wired it with a transformer? I’m Curious about the wiring and electronics you used.
Sick! Adding another to the list for an “Ultimate mod” machine.
Nice! Switched over to lever machines myself but yeah, a quiet machine is a happy machine! Have you documented your build somewhere?
Dumb side question: where’d you get that scale?
That looks amazing! Would love to see a breakdown of cost and how to video once you think you’ve got a perfected!
Want it!!!
It’s an automated lever machine!
I wonder if I could install something like this on a gaggia OWC?
That’s quiet mate, very nice upgrade 🤠
Very cool, OP!
