    Ahhh maybe I should have used google translate I didn't know that. Yes it's an electric Moka pot the only thing I could find online was this which is almost the same but not electrical Jon

    Hi, Yes I did there were no nasty bangs, smells or anything but I did wonder if that was incorrect. Thanks for any thoughts, Jon

    Hi, I have recently picked up this beauty but unfortunately it didn't come with any instructions. The appliance says it's 110-230v so I have it a quick try but it didn't seem to either blow up or get warm. I didn't persevere for long as I was slightly confused by the power connector which...

    Yes I could in fact it's the default mode, I was just getting lazy with my new toy. With hindsight it was a bit of a dumb question! I guess my post is also fuelled a little by my shot graph looking different to others I've seen shared online, it seems very linear and I'm not sure if that's a...

    Hi everyone, I wonder if anyone has any tips on using Acaia scales brew logging with the autostart feature. Obviously the autostart feature begins logging as soon as a the flow hits the cup but that can be 5 seconds after hitting the brew button on my Gaggia classic. If I'm aiming for 20-30...

    Definitely do some research into the classic before you buy, there were a few years where they modified the design and it wasn't as good. There's stacks of information about that on here.

    Hi Cath, I'm pretty new here my entry outlay was a second hand Gaggia Classic for ยฃ100 and a cheap burr grinder for about ยฃ35 from Amazon. The drinks pretty good and I would say above Nespresso level however the grinder held me back from getting a really good espresso. In the end I picked up...

    Sounds good, I feel that's what I'm missing with pact so I'll give Dog and Hat a shot.

    Great to know the classic still gives you great coffee, I'm wondering if you would recommend a particular PID mod? Me Shades seems popular but I've also read about others. Also I have a pact subscription and I'm wondering if I could do better or at least perhaps if I should alternate...

    HI AJSK66, how worthwhile is the course?... good question ? I'm glad I did it and I learnt a lot. Is it anything I couldn't have picked up elsewhere or by reading on here? .... not really. On the other hand I probably wouldn't have gone looking for some of the things I learnt either. I have...

    Hi kingoftheheath, you inspired me to introduce myself so thought I would say hello and thanks. Great looking setup!

    Thanks ArisP, I'll definitely have to think about doing the same. The supermarket beans were so bad I ended up making my first cup of tea of 2020 ?

    Hi everyone, I've recently joined after upping my coffee game over Christmas with the purchase of a second hand Gaggia classic. A little like kingoftheheath I have a habit of throwing myself into things so having decided to get a "proper" coffee machine my classic purchase quickly snowballed...

    I have to say that doesn't sound right, perhaps there is a fault with the grinder as well. Maybe it's time to pop to your friendly local coffee shop and see if you can get some freshly ground beans and try that. It seems like there are too many variables at the moment what with the grinder and...

    I have the same setup and have also had mixed results. I also came to the conclusion that out of the box that grinder doesnt grind fine enough. I did the "hack" (and then repeated the process another 5 or so times to perfect the setting) and now it's pretty much as good as it's going to get...
