used gaggia classic pro is prob the best bang for buck imo. built like a tank, easy to mod later if u get obsessed, and holds resale value. paired with a decent grinder it’ll easily give you real espresso without spending breville dual boiler money. for something simpler, the breville bambino or bam

A pretty nice espresso machine set up. Really the grinder is what’s most important. Getting something like a Gaggia Classic Pro (got mine used for around $400 taxed and shipped) and a Turin grinder (~$250-$400) will leave you with roughly $200 for additional accessories - a PID controller for the GC

This is what my husband bought to help himself through residency. We landed with a gaggia classic pro and it’s still going almost 10 years later. We’ve saved a lot of money on lattes haha. A bit of a learning curve but a fun hobby in a way.

Attól függ: kávézót akarsz nyitni, vagy egy irodába kell? (Sarkítva: minőség / gyorsaság) Ha céges, akkor szerintem valami komolyabb Jura, nálunk is az van, megy gond nélkül. Otthonra maradok inkább a karos Gaggia Classic Pro + DF54-nél, összehasonlíthatatlanul jobb a végeredmény (de nem szívesen fő

Ia espressor și râșniță separat, e mai practic. Daca vrei sa faci upgrade după poți să faci doar la râșniță sau espressor sau ce consideri tu. Plus daca se strica una e mai ușor de înlocuit. Eu am un Gaggia Classic Pro si o râșniță Leit, pachetul era tot cam 3000 de lei acum vreo 2-3 ani când le-am

GCP (gaggia classic pro) is exactly $500 before tax + shipping. Wonderful machine that you can get a ton out of if you treat it well. Was my first “real” espresso machine, absolute workhorse for many years before I upgraded. I’m sure you’ll get the usual “grinder is more important” comments which ar

espresso machines use pressurized water from a boiler to force about 2ounces of water through a really tightly compacted “puck” of coffee grounds. regular coffee makers percolate hot water over a whole basket of coarser ground coffee that slowly drips into a pot. they both make coffee but an espress

Congrats! You have basically two Gaggia Classic Pro boilers for $70. You could easily mod this or keep it stock and enjoy traditional shots of this. This is a great deal. You should post this up r/gaggiaclassic
