The major drawback I see to the Millenium which I purchased used is that I don't have a pump pressure gauge. I know EPNW stocks double gauges and I'm wondering if any tinkerers have done an install to their Millenium. If so, please give me an idea how difficult this job is. Thanks!

thanks marcus
curious too, i wish to do the same and have asked similar. i am told dual guage is slightly larger and involves drilling the chassis. so involves tech i guess. and plumbing with copper tubes. you would think on new models it would be installed as its simple then and the machine benifits.
I shall keep my eyes out and hopefully someone has an answer.
i am buying a millenium as well and want the dual guage too.

why not get the gauge built in to the portafilter that Chriscoffee.com and other vendors have http://www.chriscoffee.com/products/home/parts/faemapfwgauge I would be interested to find out how much it helps. My system is fairly nicely dialed in. Despite some variation in coffees when they are fresher, most of the time I don't even touch the grinder or change my tamping technic. I get very good to excellent shots more than 95% of the time. I think the Millenium type system couple with a good to excellent grinder works fabulously. When friends come over, I am confidant that my stuff will blow them away taste and quality wise. The gauge would be fun for the techie in me, but I doubt it would improve my coffee.
