Classic Pro

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

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

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

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

For my two cents, Gaggia Classic Pro $500 and eureka mignon/silenzio will get you good stuff and you can continue to mod the Gaggia and make it even better over time

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
