Making a Latte on the Gaggia Classic Pro 

Hey everyone! Thanks for all the feedback on this. I had no idea people would watch this. I literally just uploaded this for a friend to see my machine. I have a better angle now on my camera on my Instagram. Instagram.com/QuinCarter if you wanna give me a follow there!

Saw a big mistake that you might want to avoid in the future. Once that portafilter is in the group head, you want to start your shot immediately. You left the Portafilter in the group head with the coffee for one whole minute which results in a dramatic affect on your shot. It will heat up the coffee and will speed up the shot time causing more sour flavors. It’s also going to result in completely inconsistent shots if you’re changing the time you’re leaving the porta filter in the group head before you actually start the shot.

I recently heard a tip from someone to optimize steam pressure to get a great roll/vortex on the gaggia classic. When you purge the steam wand, purge a little extra steam out so that the light goes off again. From there, I wait about 15 seconds and then start steaming before the light comes back on. When the light is off, that means the heating element is on and it is actively making steam. By starting it before the light comes back on, the machine will contantly be making more steam while you're frothing your milk and you won't run out of steaming power. This allows you to pretty easily get a nice and steady roll going the entire time. Nice setup!

thanks to share your video without cuts, helps to understand the right way to use my machine

Nice vid! I have the same sette/gaggia pro setup.

Hi. For clean steam wand use some wet cloth.. When taping jug on table, put your hand on top, so you not to spill milk around. This is good machine.

I love lattes with Fairlife milk. The best!

Great video! Where did you get that latte cup?

Hi. Just want to know what size is the cup that your using and the bottomless portafilter. Thanks

Hey bro, Where did you buy a bottomless portafilter for gaggia? Thank you.

Rough estimate on your grinder setting? I'm having a hard time getting mine dialed in.

What settings did you use for the baratza sette 270 for that shot?

where did you get Gaggia bottomless portafilter from? is it OEM or aftermarket?

Which Baratza Sette grinder are you using? Thanks!

How's the Sette holding up? I'm consolidating it but some of the reviews scared me on how often it needs repairs.

Can you post links from you equipment used in this video?

I noticed you lost significant pressure while frothing the milk and thus not being able to create the vortex quickly enough. I used to have this issue until I installed a PID, and now my Gaggia Classic is another espresso machine. You can’t even compare the results before and after, sometimes the steam pressure is way too much and could scald the milk.

What scale are you using?

May i ask which grinder machine you use?

Where did you buy your coffee

What scale is that?

Cant see jack

Poorly executed. The piece is supposed to be about making latte, but you don't even show all of the latte making process. Sorry.
