What’s the best bang for your buck: espresso machines [2024]
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

Shot Pulling Nearly all Foam [Gaggia Classic]
Defintiely don’t use a pressurized basket with a bottomless portafilter. That will improve the issue but definitely get a better grinder. When I first bought my Gaggia classic pro and had a cheap Amazon grinder I couldn’t get a good pull till I upgraded grinders. DF64 is a good pairing

Napi 40-50 adag kávéra milyen gépet ajánlanátok?
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

Trying to use the pressurized filter, insanely fast to 36g.
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

What's the cheapest machine that can make acceptable milk drinks?(Not picky)[$<500?]
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

Milyen kávéfözőt ajánlanátok, ami jó espressot csinál, de nem hatalmas?
Gaggia Classic Pro (GCP), azonnal érdemes kicserélni benne a gyári 15 baros rugót 9 bar-osra (3e Ft) és tökéletesen működik, később lehet mod-olni akinek van kedve ezzel foglalkozni. Fontos előnye: van maradványértéke, viszonylag könnyű eladni ha megunod.

Why do most famous coffee focused channels almost always avoid covering budget/cheap espresso equipment?
There’s a million cheap machines and they’re all various levels of bad to very mid. So there’s not much to say about them. The Breville Bambino is the best of any “cheap” machine and has been covered to death. I have a Gaggia Classic pro. Friend has the bambino. When pulling single shots, there’s li

Kitchenaid Espresso machine
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
