espresso “Air BnB provided this beauty and nothing else”

Surprised to find this beautiful Gaggia espresso maker with nothing more than some pre ground coffee to go with it. My wife booked it and I never looked through the photos. Now I'm wishing I did I could have brought beans and a hand grinder. No way in heck am I running God knows how old pre-ground through this with no scale. Maybe I should go to a local coffee shop and ask for some 18g dime bags of grounds ahaha

espresso “My flabbers are gasted”

I was gifted these two thick boys today and am just kinda staring at them in disbelief. I chat with some casual friends about coffee often, they're busy folks who live espresso. I've been perfectly happy with my gaggia setup in the background. This friend had an issue with one and were offered a discount on a newer model. That one had an issue as well and they decided to leave the brand. No fault to them though since, as stated, mega busy folks. They were going to offer the machines to Breville for parts however they guessed I have the ability to fix them so the machines were offered to me instead. Crazy. The issues: small hotspot/smoke which is almost definitely a small short or wire near a heating element in one and a sheared off shower screen screw. Dope weekend project and an entry into the double boiler club Finally the bride

espresso “UPDATE: Is it me, my machine, or both? [Gaggia Classic E24]”

Does Gaggia really require you to crank the portafilter like it owes you money?

espresso “Upgrade from HX machine”

Started my real espresso journey at the time of covid. Purchased Rocket Appartamento and Faustino grinder. I was really happy with my setup and the journey that I took. Machine served me really well but eventually I got really tired doing the cleaning and maintenance. In my opinion E61 might be iconic, but it’s really wasteful and dated. Takes forever to heat up, you need to do cooling flushes and take the machine apart way too often in order to lubricate that damn cam leaver. So I decided upgrade to Gaggia Classic E24 and installed Gaggimate. Installation was a pain but really rewarding. Now I can finally do something other than flat 9 bars. It has opened a whole new world of flavors, could not be happier. I was little pit worried breaking warranty of my brand new Gaggia and if I’m able to do the installation by myself but in the end I was successful and did not break anything and now I really know how the machine works. So future maintenance should not be an issue. After playing two months with Gaggimate and different profiles I realized that my old grinder is holding me down. After some research I ordered Mazzer Philos with I200d burrs and wow! Now I can taste so much more! It took me two shots to dial in with Normcore Step-down 58mm to 49mm basket. Used Cremina leaver machine 9 bar declining profile with fresh malabar beans and the results were amazing. 18g beans and 45g out in 40 seconds. I could taste salted caramel and sweetness. I could not have this kind of flavor separation with my old setup. My advice is to invest a proper grinder and then a better machine with saturated group head. Also don’t upgrade if you are happy with your current setup. This was my journey and I hope your journey will bring as much joy as it has brought to me. Happy grinding to everyone and greetings from Finland.

espresso “Desperate for help: Unbearable "battery acid" sourness event with dark toast [Gaggia Classic + Timemore S3 ESP]”

"If I use cheap, commercial pre-ground coffee in the Gaggia's pressurized basket with the same water, it comes out completely fine and not sour at all." It IS the grinder that's the culprit. You identify this in the above statement yourself. Looking at the photo of the grounds, there are way too many ultra-fines and larger grounds almost closer to pre-ground. The grinder matters 1000x more than the machine, and thermal stability is overrated - unless you're burning the grounds.
