  • I have followed @Colm89 good advice and did the essential upgrades to my 'new' Gaggia Baby Dose.

    I have now fitted:

    1. A brass group head plate (circa 200g with 6 holes) to replace the original aluminium one (circa 75g with 4 holes). Apparently this helps the stabilising the temperature and distribution the water more evenly in the basket. (c. £15)
    2. An IMS competition shower screen. Apparently this also helps the water distribution through the basket. (c. £15)
    3. The Rancilio steam wand conversion - this works a treat and it was super easy to do. I can now froth like a boss. (c. £10)
    4. A Brita / Gaggia 'in tank' water filter, I already use Brita filtered water so this will help spacing descaling sessions. (c. £12)

    I have also purchased:

    1. a 58mm Reg Barber 'convex' tamper; and
    2. Colm89's Sage Coffee electric grinder which works really well.

    I now have all the tools to make a great coffee so please pop in if you are around Brixton!
