There is a related question that I don't understand. The most common beginner setup is a Gaggia Classic Pro, and most beginner guides on internet call for a 18g dose.

Until recently all Gaggia Classics had uncoated aluminum boilers. Two years ago, Gaggia Released the Classic Pro Evo. In this model, they started coating the inside of the boiler, supposedly to make it more resistant to limescale. Unfortunately, the coating flakes off, making the Evo a bad choice of

Pro Evo from 2023? That's your problem. Look up "Boilergate". The boilers from this particular year and model are coated in a non-stick coating that was intended to reduce scale build up.

I had another attempt at cleaning up my old Gaggia Classic bought in 2012 but gave up. I replaced it in 2019 having failed to get it working and having replaced a number of parts including the steam valve and attempted to descale several times. With nothing to lose I stripped it down after it had sa

Compared to the thermoblock/thermocoil machines, a single-boiler trades heat-up time for better potential thermal stability and long-term durability. A bambino is better than a gaggia classic pro out of the box, but a single-boiler with a PID will probably have better thermal stability, control, and

Have you tied going to a cafe you like and tasting s bean you like, take it home and are you getting remotely close? I mean gaggia classic pro right out of the box doesn't have a pod and too high pressure but should still produce drinkable shots.

My Gaggia Classic Pro Evo refurb came with like 2 tablespoons of scale in the shower head, it sprayed like a rusty sprinkler head when I first tried it out). It took me a good hour or two of cleaning/flushing to get it all out. Other than that it's been completely fine. Re-packaging it and sending i
