They have clearly stated that the brass used in the E24 is lead-free, but this finding appears to contradict that claim. It’s important that this discrepancy is addressed promptly to Gaggia and transp

The shot looks great, Could you please share your temp surfing process. I just got my E24 today and I can't get my head around it. Also I feel that the flow rate on mine is just too fast.

i find the steam on the e24 to be fine without it. i start steaming when the temp on the pid shows 145c and it's always worked.

The quoted model number RI9380/46 is the E24.

I don’t think less about people who choose to stay at stock gaggia. Is 90% great extraction on the coffee puck.

I loved my bambino but I upgraded to the Gaggia classic pro so I could mod it with the Gaggimate. I would pick the standard bambino over the standard Gaggia classic pro. But with Gaggimate, the consis

You'd probably need to temperature surf the E24 for the best experience.

r/gaggiaclassicpositive2

Stock E24 has more temperature stability than stock older GCPs, it has a larger boiler with more thermal mass, and it has more steam power than older models.

r/gaggiaclassicnegative1

my concern with the gaggia is it would extend my morning routine by a considerable amount. Unless I’m understanding it wrong, the heat up time and fussiness over grind would make it too much work for
