Gaggia steel shower kit - with 4-hole OEM original steel shower holder.
This kit is needed if you want to use an IMS shower screen on Gaggia classic models 2015 and before or if you have an aluminium shower holder - see fits tab. It replaces your old aluminium classic shower holder, which won't fit the IMS shower screen. If you want an IMS shower screen - you will need this steel shower holder.
This kit is designed to distribute the water more evenly, but will not prevent channeling.
Features:
The steel shower holder has better heat retention properties, for better crema and no aluminium oxide. (Stainless steel will not corrode)
It has 4 holes for better water distribution, ensuring a more complete extraction, and will fit the IMS shower screen perfectly.
The IMS shower screen gives a more even and full extraction which adds to the crema.
The gasket is made from heat-resistant silicone, which lasts longer, the internal groves and soft consistency make for easy installation and removal and the light colour helps to detect if there is a build-up of coffee debris.
Gaggia Classic V2: Made 2015-2018 with built-in shower holder and stainless steel boiler.
Gaggia Classic V3: Made 2020 + Classic Pro made 2020 comes with this SS shower holder already.
Gaggia Carezza The central hole on the upper side is not big enough or deep enough to accommodate the Gaggia Carezza boiler valve.
*Coffee Deluxe - they have an indent for the group bolt - so the shower holder won't fit.
Please note:
In order to get the best fit from the shower screen, you may have to rotate the shower screen a little, so that the water from the 4 holes in the steel shower holder is distributed fully and not directly to the IMS shower holes.
This kit is designed to distribute the water more evenly, but will not prevent channeling.
The gasket that comes with the kit is 8.5mm and suits the older machines that have some wear, if you have a new model the orange 8mm would be a better fit.
