    Most of the time I get my espressos/flat whites from Taylor Street Baristas and I really like the taste. I've been watching their technique and the way in which the espresso actually pours out of the machine. To be honest, I see very little technique, they grind directly into the basket and...

    Hey everyone, It is with much sadness that I've decided to sell my beloved Gaggia Classic and my Iberital MC2 grinder. This is a great combination which produces some wonderful espressos, flat whites, etc. Here is what I have: Gaggia Classic - Machine is in an excellent working order and...

    The other day I noticed that there is some white scale build-up between the group-head and the body of my Gaggia Classic.

If I reduce the OPV pressure, would that reduce the steam pressure as well? I tried searching but couldn't find much on this...

    I was looking for some air-tight containers to store the roasted beans in and found this: http://www.robertdyas.co.uk/P~153339~Kilner-0.5-Litre-Round-Cliptop-Jar Would this work? I am trying to stay away from the plastic containers, I guess since they may soakup the flavours over time and...

    Hi everyone, Does anyone know if a Gaggia Classic portafilter will fit on the Viva Gaggia? I am trying to figure out if I can replace my stock Viva Gaggia portafilter with something a bit better. Thanks!
  10. ๐Ÿ‘‹ Introductions ๐Ÿ‘‹
    I am pretty new to the intricacies of espresso making but I've enjoyed drinking them for a while now (although now I realise that I was never aware of what a good espresso actually was ) Currently I have a Viva Gaggia machine (I've had it for about 18 months now) and in the last month or so...
