Kitchen accessory that expands brewing space and enables pressure customisation for Gaggia Classic machines, Opatiny Drip Tray and OPV Spring Kit. Extra clearance and pressure control make everyday shots less fiddly and more consistent. Is the upgrade worthwhile for casual users or mainly for dedicated home baristas?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Brewing Quality: Pressure options (6, 9 or 12 bar) help extract balanced shots with richer crema
- • Best for: Home baristas with compatible Gaggia Classic machines who use scales and taller cups
- • Not ideal for: Owners of non-compatible espresso machines or those avoiding any aftermarket changes
Low-profile tray creates space for scales and taller cups without machine modification. OPV spring kit allows selection between 6, 9 or 12 bar for tailored extraction.
Fit Taller Cups and Scales – With Low Profile Drip Tray
Low profile tray is moulded from heat-resistant ABS to sit lower than the stock tray while matching Gaggia Classic cutouts, so no alterations to the machine are required. Drain routing is retained via a stainless-steel drain pipe for reliable drainage.
More bench space permits use of scales and taller cups during pulls, reducing awkward juggling and improving dose control.
Control Extraction Pressure – Thanks to Multi-Bar OPV Spring Kit
OPV spring kit supplies multiple springs calibrated for different spring tensions that correspond to 6, 9 or 12 bar outlet pressure. Swapping springs adjusts the overpressure valve behaviour to change puck resistance during extraction.
Selectable pressure settings let users tune extraction strength and crema development to match roast and grind, aiding shot consistency.
Durable for Daily Use – With Heat-Resistant ABS and Stainless Steel Drain Pipe
Tray construction uses heat-resistant ABS plastic designed to withstand repeated exposure to hot water and coffee residues, while the drain pipe uses premium stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
Materials chosen for longevity mean fewer replacements and a reliable daily workflow at the machine.
✨ The 4 Key Reasons for Opatiny Drip Tray and OPV Spring Kit
