Your gaggia classic is an espresso machine... Why would you not buy espresso grind? To be honest you are better off getting your own grinder and doing it yourself. I would be amazed if it was at the right coarseness for your particular machine.

i think the majority of people don't mod their machines (this sub self selects remember) so for them they now have a choice a good starter machine vs a prosumer machine if my modded e24 blew up tomorrow i would probably get a profitec move. but for now i love my little gaggia. the classic looks. the

No. You could get a refurbished one for an extra $49. https://www.wholelattelove.com/products/refurbished-gaggia-classic-pro-e24-espresso-machine

A thoughtfully executed product that addresses most (if not all) of the shortcomings of previous Gaggia Classic models. Overall it looks like an intentional and meaningful evolution rather than some hastily tacked on features.

Na látod'e ezért kell félúton megállni. Sem nem Bialetti, sem pedig automata űrhajó.... Csak egy jóóó kis Gaggia classic kell, esetleg egy kis PID-elés rá, hogy fullba lehessen' nyomni a kretén oszt' jónapot!

I can only emphasize on balance. In my case I worked myself up to a DF64 on a Sage barista express, had constantly issues with consistency. I then bought a used Gaggia classic, restored it and it made a HUGE difference. Now I'm happy and wondering for how long 😅

Is a stock Gaggia Classic Pro E24 a good value for the money? It's probably one of the best entry-level (under $500), single boiler machines with a proven track record for reliability. 2. Can another modded machines gave better shots than a stock Gaggia? Yes, any modded (PID) machines will outperfor

Do not use the pressurized basket. It adds artificial resistance that should be coming from the coffee puck and not the basket. Use the regular double shot basket instead. The coffee grounds are probably too coarse, thats why its fast. Taste it anyway, though. Fast does not always mean it's bad. Oth

I absolutely love the warm vibes of the pic, man. I'm also loving the Gaggia Classic with brass boiler. Mine is an E24, currently playing with a bottomless Normcore Slim and an IMS basket. Quite happy with the results - and the extra vertical space to fit in the balance without having to change the

Assuming you’re not a beginner home coffee enthusiast, I’d be looking more at actual coffee maker brands, not appliance makers who also do coffee machines. Especially if quality is your goal and price isn’t an issue. The Gaggia Classic E24 at around $900 is as good a machine as you’ll find for home
