What Gaggia got wrong (on purpose).
Every factory machine is a set of cost decisions. Here are the ones that hurt your shot - and the mod that fixes each.
OPV set at 12-15 bar
Tuned for E.S.E. pods - way too high for fresh coffee. Causes channeling, spray, sour shots.
Bimetal thermostat, 10-15C dead zone
Forces "temperature surfing" before every shot, inconsistent extraction.
No pressure profiling
One flat 9 bar, no preinfusion control.
