Description:
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 aluminum shower holder - see fits tab. It replaces your old aluminum 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 aluminum oxide. (Stainless steel will not corrode)
- It has 4 holes for better distribution of the water 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 Silicon 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 color helps to detect if there is a build-up of coffee debris.
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 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.
Product is pure quality and transforms the way my Gaggia Classic makes an espresso. Newer Gaggia Classic's (Pro) come standard with stainless steel group elements (if that's yours order just the shower screen and silicone gasket), but mine is an older model (pre 2015) so this set is perfect! Highly recommended!
Hi, does this kit will fit into Gaggia Classic Pro?

Hi Adam, If your model has the aluminum shower holder then the kit will fit. The new professional models already come with this stainless steel shower holder, so you will only need the shower.
