Classic Pro

First of all you need a grinder. I recommend the eureka mignon line of grinders because there is one at every price point, albeit those price points start at about $350 and go to $1k-ish. But truly this is your must have purchase. The Specialita is what started their popularity because they are so q

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.

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

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

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

something that is going to last. With this in mind... Breville and Delonghi machines are not known for their longevity. Plastic chassis, plastic tubes, they're not really made for long term (10+ year) reliability. You mentioned the Delonghi La Specialista... All-in-one machines aren't recommended he

I ditched my bambino over it. I loved the size and the quality of the espressos, but it was just so infuriating to have it refuse to continue. I got a gaggia classic pro to replace it, never looked back. The gaggia has no computer controlling such things, and can be maintained by mere mortals.

I've lived with the 2 nostril beast for 3 years now. It takes a while to get used to it and apparently there are Cyclops options available from WLL or SoC, depending on where you live. Some say the 1-hole tips improve ease of use while others say it makes little difference. For me the 2-hole spout w

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
