/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.

Daaaaaaamn that thing is awesome. What is the base model?
Edit: found it - Rancilio Silvia
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.

Cheers, appreciate the update!

This looks dope, awesome mod.

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

I just finished building my Gaggiuino today (GCP) and already I’m jealous of this - what a beautiful machine
Looks so sweet! Now please make the body transparent smoke-colored plastic!

I love my Decent, but I really love the unique style and attending to detail of this custom modded espresso machine <3
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.
