PID equipped and made in Italy? In this continuation, I exhibit the Gaggia Espresso Deluxe in both basic mode (pressurized baskets and panarello), and in advanced mode (unpressurized basket, bottomless portafilter, 9 bar spring mod, WDT, and tamping). Let's see how each mode operates, and which is the best for you.

In the end, I pose the question, 'is it worth it, to switch to advanced mode?' Let us see. Finally, I do temperature tests of the PID controlled thermoblock in both basic and advanced modes. Let's see how this little 53mm espresso machine fairs.
