Love the review! Gotta say Mark looks like he's already amped up from previous espresso shots 😂😂😂. Keep up the great work WLL! I appreciate all the videos. I've learned a lot from you guys.

@scottscottsdale7868 8 месяцев назад

Great video as always. I recently purchased a Gaggia Classic Pro and it is fantastic. One trick is the compression tube fits very snugly. If it seems loose, keep pushing it in. Also the drip tray and drip tray steel cover. There are two little nibs on the underside. Those nibs slot into holes in the bottom housing. Just look for those. There is a whole in the steel screen that lines up with that tube. No big deal but it is something to keep in mind.

@downhome175 5 месяцев назад

Great video ! Thank you. I just got my new Gaggia today, so this video was very helpful . I did notice the Illy coffee in the can they showed is ground coffee, not espresso. On the Illy cans, always look down at the bottom of the can on the left to tell what grind you're getting. (In this regard, I think Illy should make more of a distinction between ground and espresso, perhaps different color cans.)

Tip for new buyers: I thought i thoroughly cleaned the machine beforehand and ended up finding a few pieces of styrofoam floating in the water tank the next day. They must have been tucked up above it. keep an eye out for that. Definitely don't want that getting sucked into the boiler.

@Smellslikegelfling 6 месяцев назад

I wish they would charge an extra $50 or $100 and just offer it with a PID, or offer it as an option.

Hi, i was just about to order the new Gaggia Classic Evo 2023 when i saw pictures and posts on Gaggia classic facebook group mentioning that black flaking is coming out of the steam wand and that consumers are returning their new machines, they all seem to think that the new boiler coating is falling apart and no descaling or flushing is solving the issue. There's a post on reddit about it. I'm concerned, should I place the order or not? Any info about this???

@insertnamehere4419 5 месяцев назад

@tootinghorns 7 месяцев назад

Gotta say that you should do the shot before the milk! Boiler is much hotter for steam and takes a while to get back down to espresso range. Might get a bitter shot (too hot) that way round

@Wholelattelovepage 7 месяцев назад

Hi t, Thanks for the comment. I prefer your method but it can be done the other way so long as boiler is properly cooled and refilled after steaming. Marc

@justinbouchard 8 месяцев назад

as a single boiler owner, i would never steam first. your milk will die. your espresso will not.

@Wholelattelovepage 8 месяцев назад

Hey jb, That's a debate for staff here. Some go milk first and others do espresso first. I'm personally in the espresso first camp. Although Nick would tell you it wasn't his best pour in this livestream, his milk held up fairly well. Marc

Back watching this video like a total nerd. BWT Bestsave M Anti Scale Filter.

Realy liked the video, pre hype to recieve mine next week ! At 20:14 you guys say it hold about 16g but the website of gaggia say 7-18grams Which is right ?

@Wholelattelovepage 7 месяцев назад

Hi g, thanks for the comment and question! The single basket holds 7-9g, the double 15-18g. Capacity is in a range depending on the density of the beans. Lighter roasts tend to be more dense so more fits in the basket. If you see an impression of the shower screen in the coffee puck after an extraction reduce the weight of coffee dosed. Marc

@SG-ed3nl 7 месяцев назад

How does the machine know whether the grounds are freshly ground vs pre ground? Why the need for separate cup? Thanks!

@Wholelattelovepage 7 месяцев назад

Hi SG, Thanks for the question. The machine does not know. Use the filter basket with many holes (non-pressurized) for freshly ground coffee and the filter basket with a single hole (pressurized) for pre-ground coffee. The pressurized basket controls the flow rate of the espresso extraction giving more leeway if grind size is not quite right. If using pre-ground make sure it's intended for making espresso. If grinding fresh, be sure and dial in your grind size properly. Here's a video that shows you how to do that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-unHHToGjshI.html Marc

@nicesagittarius 23 дня назад

dearest, sorry for the inconvenience but I have an important question...I purchased the 9 bar spring which will arrive shortly...but after replacing it, can I still use the pressurized filter supplied (the one with the rubber underneath) or do I have to use it exclusively one of the remaining 2 (i.e. single and double dose)??? and if it's possible what happens to the coffee if I do it? Thank you very much❤

@Wholelattelovepage 17 дней назад

Hi ns, If you purchased a Gaggia Classic EVO Pro in North America be aware all units sold already have a 9 bar OPV installed. Those can use the pressurized filter baskets. If you have an older GC or one purchased outside NA and replace the OPV spring the pressurized basket should still work. Marc

@HairKingBlake 7 месяцев назад

So I have a gaggia and out of box it leaks out of steam wand, and I can see yours does too. Is that normal?

@Wholelattelovepage 7 месяцев назад

Hi HKB, Some dripping of condensation from the wand is normal. You can check the valve by closing fully and pressing both the brew and steam switch to on. That will run the pump and push water to the wand only. If you do not get leaking with that test then the valve is good and you are just having drips from condensation. Here's a video showing the test described: Gaggia Steam Valve Leak Test: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-evSHNugOMto.html Hope that helps! Marc

Not really any new. The water container is the most troublesome item. Its dark and stored away invisibly. If not cleaned regularly - which is a burden to do due to its location - fungus gets in there and you don't even see it due to the dark colour. You will notice it due to the fungus being sucked into the machine and blocking water flow.
