Classic Evo Pro

Gaggia classic is a very capable machine. If you want something easy, I recommend Nespresso. If you want to explore espresso as a hobby, keep the Gaggia and improve your grind and puck prep.

If something breaks, you can’t send just the grinder or just the brewing part, so you’re out of espresso until you get it fixed. If you want to u
