Nice! You have a Europiccola too right? I'm assuming they're basically the same barring a few cosmetic differences?
mmccarthy-
This is the machine I'm referring to when I say Europiccola. Identical to a post-mil except the boiler cap has a pressure release valve built-in instead of a separate arm.
My other Gaggia is the Classic. Got a PID installed and it feels so uninvolved by comparison. Much better for a big caffeine hit before work though.

Appreciation time: Every year I get about a month in the summer to play around on this. Takes a couple weeks to get back into the flow (and about a kilo of YB) but for the last few days every single shot has been an absolute banger. Even switching the beans up, it doesn't care, just consistently produces 10/10 espresso. And at ~32g each I can drink them all day long. Just love it.
