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. People getting into espresso literally all get the same advice: a) buy a GCP, b) dose 18g. But the stock unpressurized double-shot ba

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 just got my Ele last week, I cannot recommend it enough coming from a gaggia classic pro 2019. If you can stretch the budget for it you won't be disappointed.

Depends if it's a V.1 or V.2. IMO, the V.2 is far inferior to the Bambino Plus. The V.1 is arguably inferior as well, but has all the modding potential ( GaggiaMate/Gaggiuno) to become an extremely capable machine. The V.2 (2015) Classic was made in Romania from late 2014 through 2018 for the 220v m

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

Tbh if you are going from the barista express to a gaggia without modding you may feel it's a downgrade. You have 3 buttons. 1 turns it on, 1 pumps water and 1 turns the steam on. Thats it. Everything is manual with no shot timer. That being said it will out last most options as its a simple machine

Robot Cafelat + Dualit CIno (Costco often have the Cino available for around £170) so that would be about £500 all in. I have this combo (Robot, Cino and Niche Zero) and it is far, far better and more repeatable than my Gaggia Classc Pro that I since gave up. Getting an additional basket makes back

I’m late to this conversation, but I’m dealing with the same issue. I have the Zuley grinder and it worked great for about a year. I haven’t changed beans. What was strange is that I first started having slowing issues, I’d prep a puck and barely any liquid would come out. I did a deep clean using G
