Newbie to the forum here!

James96 I must buy an Aero sometime 😉
It’s amazing how the milk can make the bubbles in coffee.

@“DavecUK” yes, it’s amazing! My first attempt at a Cortado. An aero bar would go well with it 😉
@“Dusk” do you have the Sage Smart Grinder Pro too? It’s taken a bit of work to get it dialled in right. Still not sure it’s how I want it. What settings do you have set to?
I have only just got the Gaggia and it was someone on this forum who sold it to me! He very kindly set the pressure to 9 bar. I want to add a PID and dimmer mod, but will save up for those 😬 shades of coffee will be releasing a pressure gauge and dimmer mod along with their PID kit and topbox so I’d love to go for that! My wife just doesn’t want me spending all our money at once 🤣 also probably best for me to get the hang of the Gaggia on its own before adding too much.
Have you modded yours? Would be very grateful for any tips!
I see that you’re well and truly on the slippery slope already @James96 - welcome aboard! 😄
Yes I’ve got a Smart Grinder Pro, I wasn’t sure about getting it after reading lots of reviews but as it was £150 brand new I couldn’t turn it down. I single dose so only set the grind level and ignore the timer. It has a bit of retention which is about the only issue I have with it. I think I have my grind setting at about 16 so still have a lot of room to adjust (medium roast beans about a month old).
I’ve not done a great deal to the Classic as it’s still under warranty. It’s got a 9 bar OPV spring, slim drip tray, “the one” steam tip and IMS basket. PID is definitely on the cards next.
Squiggs19822 thank you!
