Fellow opus vs MiiCoffee DF54??? which one is better?

Just got one for a wedding gift! Could you recommend me a tamper? I'm not sure which one I would need - a spring one or one w/o. Never done this before.

How do I turn the sound off?

Nice job young man! 🙂

Hello! Thanks 4 the video, i was Looking for some vídeos to dial in my Fellow Opus, because i don’t know what’s wrong in my case. Let me explain, when i grind i can’t get lower than number 5 in my grinder, although I’m using good quality fresh beans. The ones I’ve got now are roasted the 28th of August and 85SCA. (I’ve used differents coffees all fresh and over 85SCA. My coffee machine is a sage bambino and I use a bottomless ikape portafilter with the básquet that came with the portafilter. I use a 20gr dose because I like a larger espresso. My complains are that first of all I can’t go finer than 5 and I think I don’t get enough crema in those settings. After it takes ages to grind 20gr. I have to press many times the button, (recently discovered that a long press is for manual stop) 😅. My grinder has a lot of retention. I’ve cleaned all parts several times and see if it was all ok with the grinder and it seems all parts are in good conditions. Long story short, under the lid of the grinder it says that the range for espresso is between 1 and 3 but I can’t grind under 5, and it takes for ever to grind and I can’t get enough crema. Hope you can give me some hints!! Thank you!!!!

Good instructions but I have a question about the replacement clamps you used in section 12:05 thru 12:35. Starting at 12:36 the clamps are not the same as the ones you replaced at 12:05. Did you have issues with the replacement clamps and went back and put original type of clamps ? Just want to make sure no issues in type of clamps used for safety reasons. Again good job.

Super helpful. Thanks! I’d love to replace the wand on mine, but it looks a bit too complicated for me… I’ve settled for the easier mod ( removing the dual mode panerello sleeve and ziptie-ing the nozzle so it doesn’t fly off). Using just the silicone nozzle to steam without the attachment makes a far silkier milk, tho I’m sure the Gaggia wand replacement would be better. My new 3630 is leaking a bit from the group head when I switch over to steam from coffee, but I’ve just gotten in the habit of leaving a saucer underneath it to catch the excess. I’ve heard you can remove the shower screen and tighten a screw to minimize dripping, but I haven’t investigated that yet, since I only recently got the machine. Have you tried that? I’m quite happy with it so far, but I haven’t upgraded my grinder yet, so for now I’m hand grinding for the non pressurized basket and (cheap)machine grinding pretty finely for the pressurized basket. It’s been fun to learn the ins and outs without laying out a ridiculous amount of money up front. I wasn’t sure if I would want to fiddle with it as I want my morning coffee early and often, but I’m enjoying this more than I imagined. It heats up pretty fast, it’s not too noisy, the boiler heats the portafilter, too, and the switchover from coffee to steam is fairly quick. You can make several cups of espresso in succession without a long wait time in between. Nice little machine at a reasonable price.

great stuff ! idk how you only got 43 subs, at least now its 44 :)

I keep changing the beans im using so keep having to repeat this tedious process - thank you kindly though!

How is the ecp 3630 compared to gaggia classic evo pro? Is any difference in the espresso pull shot and taste? I had the ecp3420 before and now I have the dedica stilosa which it’s not working properly and I’m thinking on upgrading. But I’m still scared on the aluminum boiler of the gaggia cause I was going to for the price and now I’m thinking about the ecp3630 since it has a stainless steel boiler.

Great video. Tech, equipment, tools, and ... a butter knife! Nice!

No worries 1. These particles cannot pass through the coffee tablet. 2. Teflon does not dissolve in water just use and relax

Bought a used one for 39€ Got a real 15g IMS basket and just used the stock portafilter. The naked PF seems to bend the wings after a few months rendering it useless since it couldn't seal anymore A few aspects are very nice. Fast heat up of like under 3min and the PF is also hot. Temp is not stable, but at least hot enough for medium-dark roasted beans. Very energy efficient. With my power meter i measure electricity useage and it used less than my Dedica after 3 months of daily usage Downsides Drip tray doesn't hold a lot of liquid and spills into the innner parts making a mess without seeming like it overflows Grouphead tends to leak steam and droplets a fair bit, even after a deep clean But for sub 50eur used, you can do some decent espresso and even latte art

Quelle honte pour GAGGIA 👎. Me lançant dans le domaine du café, sans prétendre devenir un Barista, j'avais remarqué cette machine. Eh bien, je vais aller voir si d'autres marques font mieux. Merci de nous avoir alerté 🙏

Which year it's manufactured? I heard this about Evo model. Is it Evo or classic?

Also for anyone doing this, note that the boiler mount has different screws sizes: the 2 in the front are the smaller ones and the 3 in the back the bigger. Also another tip: the screw in the mount next to the steam wand controls how tight the steam wand is: don't over screw it to keep the wand relatively free to move.

For anyone intending to carry out such a service, please take lots of photographs or video every thing you do, to assist when putting the unit back together. This is a very helpful video, thanks

Alright I found this machine for $45 locally. Totally want to get into the hobby. I come from keurig shitty coffee. My budget is limited so my question is from all the upgrades what order do you prefer? I know the filter makes a big difference. I was thinking of just buying espresso pre ground since I don't have budget for a grinder...... is a grinder that necessary? TLDR: What are the order of the upgrades that you think make a difference (including a grinder)? Thanks for your in depth video! 10/10

Had the same dust in my cup with Gaggia Classic from 2001, and the only solution is to buy compatible brass boiler for Gaggia classic :( .. Switched to DeLonghi ECP o_O

stainless is the only way

Last night I watched "best coffee scales" videos for hours and gave up, confuuuuuuzed. Today, I watched just your video for 3 minutes and you showed me everything I wanted in a scale. SOLD! Thanks! Buying a MiiCoffee Nano right now.

I just bought one this month April 2024 I did notice water inside the water container hose which made me wonder. It definitely was new because everything was well wrapped. I’m wondering if the water was from them testing it out making sure it didn’t have that issue.?

Hey, would white vinegar work in place of the descaling solution? Also, awesome video. The detailed breakdown was very informative. 👍🏻

Very nice with the upgrades.

There was a recall on this particular product

Yes 25 plus your labor and knowledge 500$ 😅 ……. Good for you !❤ eco kock😂😂😂

I have the gaggia classic pro, I clean the group with cafiza and descale the machine every 3 months and my gaggia is perfect, in April I will celebrate one year of having it, greetings from coloombia

Coolness 😎☕️👍🏽

I want one now !!! ☕️👍🏽😎

Nice ☕️👍🏽

Great video ☕️👍🏽

I have one and 100% can’t agree more I paid $50 for my ECP on Facebook marketplace. ☕️👍🏽😀👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

who told you to backflash with cafiza man from the company that doesnt allowed man! just descaling with descale i have the mashine almost 5 months filled only from filtered+ quartz crystals with 2 coffes per day 1 time descalced over 3 months with no problems so long maybe just few minerals counted by the naked eye. but not cafiza man you will ruin the coating of the boiler....

I wonder if many folks are using regular tap water and that is causing the issues. I use filtered water and have not had any issues at all after 4 months

But this substance hasn’t been tested in a lab to confirm it is Teflon , it may just be coffee from in the group head or scale from bad water. Plus when making coffee it’s not going to get through the compressed coffee?

From EU same problem , never descaling it , just with cafisa and after nor even 2 months boiler gate . Mein in from this year

How do you like the opus?

Happy boilergate !!! Now you can enjoy the teflon flecks of the boiler in your coffee.

I'm curious how many customers do not have any issues? I bought my Evo in Europe in March 2023. Until no issues at all. I went for the Evo because of the new group head and i never liked the idea of the traditional alu boiler. But it's all very alarming. If i had known it before i would never have bought any GCP

You make it sound as if I was defending gaggia I am making the point that there is no need to get hyperbolic one it's not getting through the Puck into your coffee and I have serious droughts that it's getting through the wand it would MOST LIKELY clog the wand before getting into your drink its just my opinion I get that people don't want to drink it but even Ferrari has warranty issues lol this is probably just an isolated incident from being manufactured on a machine that was a few days past it's retuning schedule it happens gaggia has been around for many years not to mention it's a food safe product the coating is certified in Europe which has tougher standards then the US my machine has had no signs of it Cafiza is a descaling product and in my opinion there is no need to run it through a machine that is only a month old again that just my opinion take it or leave it I will say Cafiza should not harm the machine for those past there warranty you can buy a new boiler for 50.00 on ebay that's not coated if your worried I will most likely swap mine out after a year even if it shows no signs I don't use nonstick products when I cook either so there you have it

Cool video!

Let me make a few practical comments not sure why any one would run a cleaning solution through there machine after only owning it a month that must bee some extreme hard water I have a hard time believing any of that debris will make it past the shower screen let alone the espresso Puck I personally use a pepper filter on the bottom of the Portafilter and have not seen any debris I do have an evo purchased last December I have tested with no wand tip also have tested with the group head taken apart so I get a clean stream of water with no filtration again no debris my usage is I make about 6 espressos every day or around 40-45 espresso every week no problems yet I have not back flushed it tk be clear maybe thats when the problems start I don't think I will start flushing it until it has seen 4-5 months of use I use well water not city water or bottled water also just a not I will most likely run a light solution 25% of white viniger 75% distilled water through the machine once every 3-5 months starting after 5 months of use I will up date I love this machine if mine shows up with a problem I will just request a new uncoated boiler or just buy one it's a simple quick swap out I have never owned an espresso machine that did not require repair also I should note I mostly drink americano and use the steam wand maybe once week usually on weekends I do love a good espresso and heavy cream

You gotta make sure to go back to the middle when you move the micro adjuster! Moving the micro adjustment actually doesnt do anything until you recalibrate it. Fellow doesn't actually explain this at all in their video guide. A gentlemen on RUclips by the name of Craig Stark explains how it works/how you do it. I started doing it this way with my own opus and actually see the changes now 👍

هل أخي إصدار جديد لجاجيا وشكرا

No boilergate (yet)? I discovered my EVO has the problem

If you want to really see if you're getting this issue run hot water through the steam wand with the tip off of it. It will more than likely be a lot more than this coming out.

Sorry to see this happening to your machine .. smh

All I've gotten out of them is "we'll get back to you". I want my $700 back or a new boiler without this coating and I wanted it...weeks ago. Thieves.

Yikes.

gaggia must make stainlees internal boiler lining or massive brass boiler
