Have been using this set up for the past 5 years when all the cafes were closed for an extended period of time … haven’t looked back!

Just put a normcore bottomless portafilter on the Gaggia Classic, it’s improved the experience quite a bit.

The Specialità is amazing and was worth the coins – take it apart once a year to do a deep clean and it runs incredibly for another year.

    have you been rocking a stock GCP the whole time?

    I had the same setup for years!
    Putting a PID in was a quality-of-life improvement.

  3. Do you use a filter with the Bodum coffee brewer? I love the look of it but not the taste of the brew with just the metal filter.
