Gaggia Classic GT

Built like a tank

We started this journey down the black hole of higher end coffee with a highly rated semi-automatic. It never worked correctly and was made of cheap materials-basically a piece of junk. This new unit is way more robust and I expect it to outlive me. Just a bit more involved to use but totally worth it.

Extremely happy with my new Gaggia Classic GT. Still learning, but it’s already much better than my previous mavh

amazing machine! coming from a modded Gaggia Classic Pro - 9bar opv, PID, ss screen holder and IMS shower screen - worked really great for me and I loved it, but I make several double espressos and 5-6 double milk drinks every morning so the small boiler and constant temperature switching was kind of a drag … this machine does EVERYTHING you would ever want from a home machine in spades dual PIDs, preinfusion, shot timers, programmable dosing, but most importantly a huge steam boiler that has tremendous power and will steam indefinitely one thing new and different from maintenance standpoint that I had to consider - with the dedicated steam boiler I have to be more active about scale control than on my single boiler machine. trying out the BWT M in reservoir pad, seems to be working fine, which is a minor inconvenience however I am absolutely thrilled I upgraded!
