I’d say the factory is a beautiful thing, capable of making really good coffee but potentially a bit of a faff, while the classic is a bit more modern, capable of making good coffee too and just more convenient.

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

My 60 year old Europiccola is boringly reliable and consistent. It’s quick too, aside from the heat up. Not sure I could be bothered with a manual grinder every morning.

I mean it literally takes 20 seconds. Granted, I only make coffee for myself. But still. It's no big deal.
