I just received delivery of my new Gaggia last night and dreamed of beautiful espresso. Woke up early because i couldn't wait to try it out. It did not disappoint. So good! This video was especially helpful as well as the other video of theirs on what machine to buy. Great company! Now it's time for me to make a second cup and try and dial in the perfect latte. Good morning!

Just received my GCE this morning thank you. I’m still a novice, yet I was able to use pre ground Lavazza in the pressurized basket pulling a great shot. Didn’t need to go through any crazy gyrations to get a very nice result. Pre heated the machine for 10 minutes with the porter filter in place. I purged just before pulling the shot, installed the porter filter and turned the steam on for 5 seconds. Then ran the shot, and had a beautiful espresso result. Not bad for a first time I thought, I steamed the milk which came out so so, I’ll have to work on that ! So all in all, I’m very pleased with my new Gaggia !!

Heb er lang geleden ook een gehad. Prima apparaat, voor thuis. De toevoeging “pro” is natuurlijk flauwekul. Dat veronderstelt dat dit apparaat ook in een commerciële omgeving op zijn plaats is en dat is onzin.

@Wholelattelovepage 2 ай бұрын

Reactie: Als je er al lang geleden een had, heeft de "EVO Pro" -versie een aantal belangrijke veranderingen ondergaan, zoals een handmatige stoompijp in commerciële stijl, 9 bar OPV in Noord-Amerikaanse modellen en een roestvrijstalen portafilter. U heeft gelijk: dit product is niet geschikt en ook niet bedoeld voor gebruik in een commerciële omgeving. Coment translation: Had one a long time ago too. Great device for home use. The addition “pro” is of course nonsense. That assumes that this device is also appropriate in a commercial environment and that is nonsense. Response: If you had one a long time ago the "EVO Pro" version has some significant changes like a commercial style manual steam wand, 9 bar OPV in North American models and stainless steel portafilter. You are correct this product is not appropriate nor intended for use in a commercial setting.

@Wholelattelovepage Ай бұрын

Hi tm, Congrat on your new machine. I have not used that grinder with the GCEP. My guess is it does not have the same precision in the espresso range as grinder I would recommend for espresso. Grind size is critical when making espresso. If you can't get a good shot using the non-pressurized filter basket you can use the pressurized with single hole. It's more forgiving of imperfect grind size. If not familiar with how to dial in grind size watch this video which explains the process: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q9R4e7egrNDXmH0.html

Is there any improvement to be had in the order of brewing and steaming? E.g. is it better to steam first and get the temp to drop before brewing or vice versa and have the machine heating up for the steam after brewing?

@Wholelattelovepage 6 ай бұрын

Hey l, Ahh, the great debate! It mostly comes down to personal preference. Mine is to brew first and then steam as there's less time with the frothed milk sitting around and separating. Push the steam button right after pulling your espresso and 20-25 seconds later machine is ready to froth. I believe this is the most efficient workflow and results in superior drinks. But a coworker here does the opposite. I think he's nuts! :) Marc

@Wholelattelovepage Жыл бұрын

@@jmd1743 I don't think you'll want pure espresso in that thermos. 16 doubles shots would be caffeine equivalent to about 24 cups of coffee!!! Americano would be they way to go. For that do 3-4 double espresso shots making 6-8oz of espresso, put in your thermos and fill the rest with hot water. For reference a double espresso shot has about the same amount of caffeine as large drip brewed coffee.

Hi a, They are very comparable machines although the New Hobby has higher price tag. If doing a lot of large milk drinks the Hobby has more steam power available due to a larger boiler. The Classic EVO with 9 bar OPV might be more appealing to espresso purists as the Hobby has OPV set to higher pressure.
