    Hi everyone, Thinking of buying a Chestnut C2 to tie me over until I can afford a Mignon as cash is tight. Does anyone have any experience of using this grinder with the Classic and is it possible to get shots within the ideal 25-30sec range? Obviously I understand the limitations of hand...

    2011 Gaggia Classic good condition. I've owned it for the last 6years, descaled regularly, only filtered water. Makes great shots and has served me well, used several times a daily, only selling because I've upgraded to a profitec machine. Comes with portafilter, double, single and blank basket...

    Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a pre 2017 gaggia classic opv valve? I attempted to do the 9bar mod but that thing is stuck fast. Currently got it soaking in citric acid solution but if that does not work I will have to look at buying a new one and they're looking pretty difficult...

    Hi Have recently bought a Gaggia Classic 2019 and looking for a cheap grinder to pair it with to tie me over until I can afford a mid range option. The Sage grinder pro seems to be the best of the budget options. Does anyone have experience of using this machine with the Gaggia for espressos...

    Morning all and a Happy New Year Any advice for a budget grinder to go with my newly purchased Gaggia Classic 2019? I had previously been advised to go with a eureka mignon but it’s a little out of my price range. What would be the best budget option sub £200? Would the Sage Pro grinder be a...

    Hi all I've had a Gaggia Classic for many many years, and have constantly lived with the leaking steam wand issue. I've bought and replaced the wands, ground the back locking washer out and polished them (until eventually they've wore out), but now I simply stick to the following, and its all...

    Hi All, I've had a Gaggia Classic and MM grinder for almost 20 years but they have sat neglected for the last 5 years. I got them out a few of weeks ago, cleaned them up, ordered some quality fresh beans and set about re-learning the noble art. After some disappointing pulls I started to get...

    Been making espresso for about 35 years at home. Have a Gaggia Classic (2016 US verison). I am concern about the shedding of aluminum from the boiler. Is there a stainless steel direct replacement boiler for the Gaggia Classic? After descaling with citric acid, and flushing with 4 container...

    Hi all! Newbie here. Both to the forum, the Gaggia Classic and any espresso machine that isn't fully auto! Took delivery of my brand new Classic Pro Evo yesterday. I have no grinder yet, so I've made a few attempts at espresso using the default basket (the pressurised one) and the ground...

    Hello lovely people, So I've had the old Gaggia Classic and the Rocky Grinder combo for about 2 years now and managed to make semi decent coffees the majority of the time. But recently I replaced the old burrs on the grinder and now I'm struggling. I attached 2 videos, one shows what brewing...

    After a long-long time, finally I have managed to dedicate some time to complete my preheat coils for the Classic boiler. I have made a dedicated brass block to piggyback between the OPV (or water inlet on the Pro) and the grouphead, so it only preheats the water getting into the boiler and not...

    Hi, I have a Gaggia Classic, 2004 vintage made in Italy. It’s been working very well but recently I decided to test my brewing pressure and maybe experiment with various pressures. I found that despite previous adjustment it was running at over 12bar so I decided to lower it down to 10 to give...

    I've just cleaned my (15 yo) Gaggia Classic's alloy dispersion plate and was unable to remove all the limescale and build-up. I live in a very hard water area. I'm now considering getting a new dispersion plate. What material is recommended these days? (I have a PIDed machine if that matters.)...

    For those of you with dimmers on your classics, what's your preferred recipe/technique? I installed the Shades of Coffee dimmer a month ago (highly recommended, very straightforward to install and works perfectly with the SoC pressure gauge). I've been grinding much finer than I used to (niche...

    Evening all! I recently opened my gaggia classic (2019) up to have a look inside after the pressure dropped massively! On looking inside I found this loose inside. All I have done Mod wise with the machine is fit a 9 bar OPV so I'm at a bit of a loss what this is and where it goes! Cheers all
