I have an evo model gaggia. 3 months experience now with zero espresso experience prior. I was not happy at 1st but dialing in my grinder and buying the spin tamper and screen top I’ve learned to get a pretty good shot. Impressive mostly imo. I will say the company we bought these from really has customer service issues and after my experience won’t buy from them again anything. Spending $600 on the machine after 3 Weeks of not good shots the tamper is unusable and had to buy a real tamper and reviews told me the spin version is best for consistent shots. So $130 later but couldn’t actually see the graphics it arrived but ugly. Contacted customer service I’d Like a return exchange for something nice looking. After all $700 they refused return unused spinner and even passed me on to another person that didn’t reply for over a week. So I played with it and found success easily.
My previous short give a better description of what to do to fix your Grom. It’s so easy. And in my opinion, a better drive. Maybe after three months of it be shut down. I’ll be able to take it and play with it some where other than my drive way. If you’ve got broke diffs and can’t find them or don’t wanna pay $$$. Watch my other video.

I'm looking at the Evo Pro and the reviews say after only a month, the coating in the boiler is peeling off! It ends up in the shot. The reviews were from 2023 and 2024. Can anyone help me on this?
I have a life. That’s why I keep food on hand always. I never know wtf adventure I may wind up on the daily. I don’t like being hungry. They’ve always been a solid go to. So it’s GD nice when a company stands by their stuff. Because when I’m stranded on a lake or in the woods. I can count on them to fuel me up. So yup. Stand by my video.
1. 갈아진 커피가루를 충분히 흔들어서 사용하세요 shake grinded coffee 2.탬핑을 완료한 후에는 포터필터를 탁탁 치면 안됩니다. don't hit poter filter after tampping 3.그래도 빠르면 원두를 더 곱게 갈아라 more grind fine
On one hand you are right, this is not a begginners friendly machine. On the other hand you are wrong saying this machine cannot make good espresso, you just need an just as good grinder.
I just bought my 2nd Gaggia Classic Pro upgrade. I have ten years experience pulling shots but I cannot for the life of me use the portafilter much less the bottomless portafilter without the coffee just raging through. I tamp harder then the 30lbs pressure I read way back. I have a cheap cuisinart grinder so it probably isn't as fine as it could be but it is quite fine. What am I doing wrong. BTW one of the hacks I learned I really like: playing with the steam knob while puling a shot to control the rate to avoid over or under extraction. Pulls a gret shot but I am still using the bowl with the little black insert spout. Any suggestions.
its your shitty grinder. One of the hardest lessons in going the full at home barista approach is you usually probably spend the same or more on a grinder than the machine. when you tamp just concentrate on a even and level pressure more than a hard tamp. I spent 550 cad on the gaggia evo pro and a 420 on a nice espresso conical burr grinder in hindsight i wish i got a turin legato machine and a df64 single does grinder. you should only be pulling 30-40 gram shots out of the included 14g double pressurized basket included with the machine. in my experience ive had better luck with really coarse grinds even like normal coffee type in the pressurized filters. when i tried some spare coffee i dumped when i was dialing in the grind size for the non pressurized filter in the pressurized filter it literally was revolting lol. PS get a naked portafilter it really helps you know whats going on albiet messy and frustrating at first. its really satisfying to finally get that perfect pour.
Hi after listening to your long CV Im of the opinion that your knowledge is well below par. New beans, never used before and you just grind up a container full why?. Grind one shot and work from there. Work with a grinder that delivers. Its a great machine for beginners who want and are willing to learn. If people are not interest in process and working at creating great coffee buy a Nespresso machine. Sorry but disagree with most of what said and is based on poor incomplete knowledge.
Why the GCP is the very best 'starter' machine? It can make really awesome shots but maybe even more important.... if you don't like it or get tired of espresso.... it is one of the few entry-level machines that you can sell in a heartbeat and recover most of your money, even years after purchase. Also: it is made in Italy, Breville is made in China. I know that Chinese can make exceptional equipment while Italy sometimes has "labor problems":):). Still...something about it being made in Italy (proly out of Chinese parts but whatever:):)
So a machine that is likely the most popular and supported entry-level espresso machine on the market is bad? Anyone who starts by saying "do your research" is not to be believed.
