Oh for sure, by faff I just mean physically pulling the shot, and maybe having to pay a bit more attention compared to just switching on, and banging a shot out at the press of a button (a difference that counts when you’re trying to time trial your morning routine like I do).
As I say, you’ll get great shots out of both, it’s more a case of which method you’re likely to prefer. I’d love the factory and kinu for a Sunday morning espresso, I’d probably get a bit impatient with it Monday to Friday while I try and dash out the door at 530am.

There's definitely some additional faff in terms of dialling in grind, with the additional variable of pressure. But I'd also argue that they're much more resilient and straightforward to maintain than a modern pump-driven machine.
Granted, this is all based on my experience with the Europiccola and Classic. I'm assuming those pros carry over to the Gaggia Factory
