  • Has anyone had hands on experience of the new Gaggia Classic, the new ‘2019’ model?

    Isn't it 'supposed' to be as good as the pre-phillips version? i.e. has all the useful stuff like adjustable OPV and solenoid.

  • Indeed. The online reviews seem favourable, some even saying it’s the best one yet. Comes with a professional steam want now I think instead of the one that everyone used to immediately bin off and upgrade. I’m by no means an expert, only know what I’ve read online hence wondering if anyone who’s ‘in the know’ has had a play with one and can see any obvious drawbacks with it.

    Same with the MDF grinder, generally good reviews but some people online suggesting you can get a lot more out of the classic with a better grinder, seems you can get a 2nd hand super jolly grinder for roughly what a new MDF costs.
