I bought a GCP back in 2022ish and it's been great. I used it everyday and was able to get consistently good espresso and learned how to effectively pull multiple shots and make multiple milk drinks b

I’m pleased with the result – the goal was to bring it up to a good spec, modernize the appearance but keep the overall footprint without the need for a top-box or appendage hanging off the side. And

I just installed a smart plug for my Gaggia classic pro today. How long do you typically let it stay on before pulling your first shot?

r/espressonegative1

I had the same issues with my new GCP E24. People told my it was my prep, to grind finer as they say. Then it was my grinder to my portafilter. But that that didn't help my situation and made me quest

My setup is similar, Gaggia Classic Pro + Varia VS4 + Precision Basket (big bang)

r/espressoneutral1

I just had the same situation. Gaggia Classic Pro, new Varia VS4, new Pullman basket.

I've had my Classic for about 15 years now, complete with MDF grinder.

r/Ascasoneutral3

I had a gaggia classic pro with pid and flow control mod. After 2 years or so I wanted something higher end and chose for the steel duo

r/Ascasoneutral2

I came from a heavily modded Gaggia Classic (from before the Pro was introduced). It didn't have a PID but I did all sorts of other things to it to get the most out of it over like 15 years.

r/Ascasoneutral1

I upgraded from Lelit Anna, which is quite similar to Gaggia Classic, straight to Steel Duo Plus.

r/Ascasoneutral1

I upgraded to the Steel DUO Plus from a modded Gaggia Classic and I would do it again anytime!

r/Ascasonegative1

Everything on the Duo is premium. Every Gaggia feels like a toy to me by comparison.

r/espressoneutral1

It took some time to source a replacement part and get it shipped, which resulted in the Gaggia Classic Pro purchase.

r/espressopositive1

Since I still needed daily caffeine, I purchased the Gaggia Classic Pro, which I now prefer and use daily.
