I’ve had a sette 270 for years. After upgrading my Gaggia classic pro to a dual boiler, the shot quality is night and day. So assuming you get a good grind, the machine makes a massive difference, way more than people on here would have you believe. It actually shocked me how different the shot qual

I have the Lelit Victoria PL91T at home. Chosen after long comparisons. Went from a Gaggia Classic Pro. Way better experience. Cannot recommend more. Excellent price/quality ratio for me.

I often get better results with the pico than my gaggia classic pro. Part of that might be that the pico is easier to clean

No judgement from me, sorry for any misunderstanding. I got mine for $30 second hand and used it for like 5 years. I pretty much only made lattes though because the espresso from it is inconsistent and impossible to dial in. I learned a lot on that machine which justified the upgrade (to a second ha

I came out of an unmodified gaggia classic pro 2003 and so the coffee the profitec produces from the same bean is overall better, but to be honest, the best I get (according to my taste) is using a high flow basket with a manual lever Flair 58 electric machine especially for espressos. In terms of c
