/u/joikinz fully modded Silvia, with digital pressure transducer, flow meter, driptray scale, variable pressure control (for pre- infusion), PID, e-ink display with info, live graphs and automated shots (based on desired graph).
I hereby vow to share the build instructions here (when joikinz shares them) so none of us have to go back to that Huffman-run hellscape.

What a cool mod!!
I wonder if something similar could be (easily) done for the gaggiuino… I’m not a fan of touch displays
That colour looks gorgeous as well. Seeing these pictures of modded Silvias always urge me to mod mine too.
Daaaaaaamn that thing is awesome. What is the base model?
Edit: found it - Rancilio Silvia
This looks dope, awesome mod.

Looks amazing! Not sure if e-ink would be responsive enough though.

IIRC There are newer screens that let you refresh/update only a part of it, so it’s much faster when animating like a progress bar.

Sweet. Had a Silvia until a couple years back. Fairly reliable little machine.
I got used to temperature surfing, but I imagine having a proper PID makes things easier.
I find the colour a little garish, tbh. But it’s not my machine, so you do you.deleted by creator
Looks so sweet! Now please make the body transparent smoke-colored plastic!
