- Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2021I have a 15 yr old Gaggia Classic and wanted to replace the corroded shower screen holder. This "tune-up kit" is a great price, the IMS screen is very pretty, and I already use and like the Cafelat silicone gasket. It all fit beautifully and looked great. But I got large divots and channeling at specific spots on the puck every time, regardless of coffee, dose, tamp. I tried every experiment I could think of: screw tightness, old screen, portafilter rotation, reinstall holder, but only changing back to the original shower holder solved the problem. I don't really understand, 6 holes seems like it should be better than 4, but I do note that the back of the 6-hole screen holder has a narrow, deep channel, much different from the shallower and wider water path in the original Gaggia part. Your experience may vary, but I've since seen several similar reports online.
2022 Update - got around to replacing entire boiler. No channeling now. Bottom line, "Tune Up Kit" can't fix everything! So full stars to be fair.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2020I've owned a 2014 version of the Gaggia Classic for about a year or two, which I purchased used on eBay. I am a professional barista, so I know my way around an espresso machine, and my shots on the Gaggia Classic have been good sometimes, but also sometimes off. I thought that installing this kit would help, and oh boy did it ever. It was very easy to install, as there are videos on YouTube of people installing similar items to help. The products are of very good quality, and I immediately noticed an improvement in water dispersion from the shower screen. I pulled three shots yesterday and two today and all were very nice. My next improvement on my machine will be tweaking the pressure down to 9 bar and purchasing a bottomless portafilter, but the improvements this kit has made might
end up being be the best of all.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2024Gasket is silicone and makes sealing the portafilter very easy, much easier than the rubber gaskets. Screen and brew head block have more holes and distribute the hot water more easily than the stock unit. A definite buy.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2023As soon as I switched the original parts out with this kit, I got channeling in the same spot every single time when it wasn't and issue before. Swapping out the brass holder for the original solved the problem immediately though. I think the smaller holes for the water on the brass holder are creating too much pressure in one spot or just not distributing it enough. The shower screen itself seems fine, but I will not be using the new holder.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2024Well worth the money. It immediately helped to improve shot quality. The stock Gaggia dispersion screen is junk & should be replaced asap.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2024I bougt and installed two of these on my machines and they both have the same issue. Between the shower screen and the shower screen holder, something is not quite right. The water mainly comes out around the edges of the shower screen rather than through the holes in the screen as intended. It still makes expresso but it's not what I would consider an improvement. I will be sticking to stock parts for now.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2020Yes! OK so here’s the deal. The brass shower screen holder is the big upgrade here. It retains heat better than the stock cast aluminum piece, which definitely makes a difference in your shots. The screen does as well. I’ve had no channeling In my pucks since this upgrade. The blue silicon gasket... meh. It’s too squishy and doesn’t seal as well as a dense rubber gasket will. I tried to measure my group head pressure and with the blue ring and it won’t seal. Water pours down the sides of the portafilter. Also, when the portafilter is in the group head tight, my portafilter handle pointed to 4 o’clock with the blue gasket. So I got a genuine Gaggia gasket instead, which seals perfectly, with the handle at about 6:30. Also important to know is that the side with the rounded edges goes up into the group head, regardless of which gasket you use.
Anyway, even just the brass shower screen holder and shower screen together are worth the price and would cost more when purchased separately, so definitely recommended!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2021I bit the bullet, hoping that the negative reviews were incorrect or that my experience would be better. It wasn't.The media could not be loaded.
1. Looks great. Solid brass build. Shower screen is high quality.
2. Brass Holder expands when hot. So there is interference when inserting portafilter. I have vst baskets, and even though they have a wider internal diameter than stock, the brass holder will interfere and scratch when removing or inserting after the machine has been on >30 min.
3. Original shower holder has 4 large holes and brass has 6. These don't seem to help because the output of water is at the edge of one side. Upon first install it would have a stream on one side. Over time it simply has moved around.
4. Shower screen is not fully saturated with water when installed with brass holder. So only some areas get water and others don't. This could be different with portafilter installed. But in comparison to oem, the shower screen with brass does not perform well.
Overall: returning as this is not a good upgrade and may be a downgrade if you're looking to simply maintain the machine. Might still order just the IMS screen.
Cannot speak about gasket, as my machine is new.

J. & D. NegreyReviewed in Canada on November 6, 20245.0 out of 5 stars Excellent upgrade
If you’re looking to upgrade your Gaggia, and are a little bit handy, this is a great kit to consider.

AlessandroReviewed in Italy on January 6, 20255.0 out of 5 stars Facile da montare e molto valido
Ho comprato questo kit per aggiornare la mia Gaggia classic con un supporto in ottone.
Ci sono voluti veramente 5 minuti per montarlo, e la tenuta della guarnizione, nonchè la distribuzione del caffè dello shower screen è ottima.
La foto è stata scattata dopo circa 2 mesi di discreto utilizzo, e come si può vedere, il prodotto si presenta ancora bene.

DavidReviewed in Germany on September 21, 20245.0 out of 5 stars Schönes Tune Up Kit für meine Gaggia
Ich habe das Kit vor 2 Monaten gekauft und es nun schon länger im Gebrauch. Erstmal muss man sagen, dass das schon einen deutlichen Einfluss auf den Espresso hat. Obwohl er mir direkt besser vorkam musste ich mich erstmal ein paar Tage daran gewöhnen. Alles in allem würde ich es jedem empfehlen der seinen Espresso in der Gaggia nochmal auf das nächste Level bringen möchte. Für mein empfinden ist das Ergebnis deutlich runder als zuvor Ich hätte mir allerdings eine Anleitung gewünscht. Es ist im Nachhinein zwar offensichtlich gewesen wo der Silikonring hin muss es hat mich aber doch einiges an Überwindung gekostet den originalen Ring mit dem Schraubenzieher herauszudrücken.

Zbigniew WieczorekReviewed in Poland on October 22, 20223.0 out of 5 stars nie jest dobry do mojej gaggia classic 2021
Uchwyt prysznica ma inny kształt niż oryginalny, za każdym razem niezależnie od dozy i ubicia tworzył się kanał w kawie pod wylotem wody z bojlera, myślę, że otwory są za blisko i jest tam większe ciśnienie wody, oryginalny rozdzielacz ma cztery otwory - umieszczone są dalej - być może z innymi ekspresami będzie ok, jednak w opisie była informacja, że pasuje do gaggia classic. Przy okazji moja gaggia ma już stalowy uchwyt, nie aluminiowy jak wcześniejsze modele - warto sprawdzić przed zakupem. Uszczelka i prysznic z zestawu są OK.
