Do you mind sharing which one you have?
- hanklazard 8y agoSure, its the Gaggia Classic. I bought it refurb a few years ago and it's been very solid. I modded the steam wand, which is done a lot and I would recommend if you go this route. Here's a tutorial: http://www.gaggiausersgroup.com/index.php?topic=1484.0 http://www.gaggiausersgroup.com/index.php?topic=1484.0 Remember that a proper grinder is at least as important as a decent espresso machine. I've been through a few but have finally found the excellent Rancilio Rocky Doserless, which was also refurbished. A few other accessories like a bottomless portafilter, a knock box, and a milk pitcher for steaming, some good beans and you're pretty much set. I think my whole setup was less than $600 and I have never regretted it. It takes some time to dial in your grind but you'll be beating your local barista's shots within a few months (and at a significant discount).
