I read 10 to 15 min. But i usually just switch it on first then faff about with beans and grinder etc. usually takes a few minutes then I run a shot of hot water through into the glass and use this as a way to pre heat the shot glass and filter. But the time I've done that and tamped in the coffee, it seems to be ok. The portafilter and group head seem reasonably hot enough.
stayed at a friend's down in Gloucester at the weekend and thought I would miss my new machine. Low and behold, walk into this kitchen and there's a fecking Gaggia Classic sitting on the counter. Albeit with preground Illy, still had something to play with over the weekend
