Gaggia Special is a home made espresso machine with following features:
Exact brew temperature control (industrial dimmer 3 kW and PID),
Brew boiler (Gaggia standard boiler with modified group valve)
Preheating of brew water in a separate boiler (Tschibo Cafissimo brass
boiler made by Gaggia)
Steam boiler (a third boiler, Cafissimo)
2 pumps (ULKA&CEME)
Metallic body and frame (alu&inox)
Dimensions WLH 250-350-430 mm
Weight 15 kg
The coffee is excellent and reproducible 90%. A huge range of
experiments are available J.
This machine with somehow overkill spec is the result of a quest to
improve the performance of a Gaggia Evolution. To keep the inside of
the brew group clean, I choose to not implant a solenoid. A strong
point of Gaggia Evolution IMO.
Please see the mashine here:

I take the opportunity to thank group member Sparky for his scientific
analysis of Gaggia's brew behavior. A starting point of my efforts.

Pretty AMAZING
and the packaging is certainly better than say, versalab.
