Gaggia Classic 9 Bar OPV Spring.

The Classic ships set to about 15 bar, which is more than the coffee wants. Swap the spring in the OPV and it settles to 9, or a little under if you back the valve off, and shots stop running harsh at the end.

Fits: Gaggia Classic Pro/Evo — 2015 EU, 2018–2020+ EU, and post-2018 US models.

This is the spring only. You need a 10mm wrench, a screwdriver, and about ten minutes at the black plastic OPV body on top of the pump.
