Classic Pro

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.

I don’t think the Gaggia is a civic. It’s more like a Fiat 124 Spider. It’s simple, it’s beautiful, it’s Italian, it feels like a Ferrari when you use it. But it’s a budget sports car. And it recently got a refresh (GCP). Add Gaggimate and it’s like a Fiat Spider with Waymo hardware. The civic is a

Gaggia classic pro, yes it would. Honestly you can just get it and never get another machine.

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

I use a completely stock GCP. I turn it on before I hop in the shower giving it at least 10 min to warm up. I then pull 1 double shot for me and 1 double shot for my gf. I then steam milk for myself. Sometimes I’ll pull a third double shot for my sister. The stock gaggia does it just fine. Would mod

A fully modded Gaggia Classic Pro can produce excellent espresso, especially if you’ve added a PID, upgraded the steam wand, and improved temperature stability. However, even with all the upgrades, it’s still a single boiler machine. That means you can’t brew and steam at the same time, and you’ll n

I have a Gaggia Classic with Gaggimate, the non pro version (IE no pressure profiling). It solves the annoying little problems that I had with my GCP before the change. You get consistent temperature, pre infusion, great steam pressure and if you have Bluetooth scales it stops at your target weight

Nope. You can make pretty good coffee with a gaggia classic just by replacing the overpressure spring and temp surfing. Really no need for mods. May as well get one new or at least in good condition. If this guy was including a bunch of expensive accessories like VST or other high extraction baskets

Gaggia classic pro with a caveat. I ordered just as the boilergate stuff happened and ended up returning it for a Rancilio Silvia. AFAIK the boiler stuff with gaggia has been resolved, so I would recommend both of these machines. They’re both great for their price point but if you have the budget I
