Recently got myself a Classic but bough one already fitted with a PID and OPV set at 9 etc, so not sure about difference, so will be interesting to hear. One thing that gets mentioned a lot is that the PID helps a lot with the steaming, making it much better than stock. I mostly drink cappuccinos so that was always going to be important.
Quickly realised how much I need a good grinder though, so looking at that at the moment. Brewing routine is two doubles a day (three max), and looking to go manual both for space and bang for the buck factor. Will probably pull the trigger on either a 1zpresso or a MBK Feld 47. Which leads me to the question...
Anyone with good recommendations for a good espresso hand grinder?

Funnily enough I have the feld 47! Would recommend it massively. Customer service isn't great and having to work out getting settings myself but the quality of the grinder is fantastic. I'd you get one and need grinder setting chat let me know.

The classic I have already has the rancilio wand which improves things but I'm looking forward to better stream through the PID.
previous to this I had the ROK espresso and using hand ground coffee with that made the biggest difference, it is an old cliche but the grinder really does make the most difference.

Not been on the thread for awhile, however just picked myself up a Gaggia Classic and currently modding it out fully with PID, OPV change etc. Can report back on difference in performance and taste if anyone is interested!
