Just bought a Gaggia and a Eureka Specialita in Orange. Love them, learned a lot from watching all these videos. Keep up the great work, we appreciate it!

[@Kats072307]

By far the best entry machines. Owned the Rancilio Silvia. I recommend it to every starter. The best way to enter the home espresso experience

[@lizdc1]

I still have my silvia and rocky I got from you in the early 2000’s.I use it daily. It is a rock.

Nice video, last year I bought the Giggia Classic Pro in black with the tiger maple bottomless portafilter and the Eureka Facile grinder. The bottomless portafilter squirts everywhere. I tried the wisk broom and leveler and the top rim ring. Today I use a dosing cup because the Facile doesn't work well with a top funnel, OEM portafilter with fine mesh basket ,2 ounce OXO measuring cup, 9 lb spring and a spring tamper. My work flow is 2 minutes, boom, unless I steam milk I add about 5 minutes including cleanup of pitcher.

just got an evo and still puzzling it out, deliberately went for a darker roast and its still sour no matter how much temperature surfing, puck prep, ratio tweaks

[@VenessaJohnston]

The Silvia has already been on the market for 25years and nothing really significant has been changed.

[@chrisDeBona]

Would that mean they have a solid product or lack in some form of innovation?

[@GaryDavis]

​@@chrisDeBona really solid product

[@VenessaJohnston]

@@chrisDeBona Yes, indeed lack of innovation. No temperature stability thus temp surfing is a necessity. A silly driptray. Rather quite a high price. Fortunately the whole machine is rust free now.

[@simona4693]

@@chrisDeBona Solid product. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Gaggia now has boiler-gate issues they are dealing with. You don't get anything like this with the Silvia. Gaggia's are great however, I've been using one for 20 years.

[@BorisStein]

Rancilio is so loud!! doesn't seems like a good choice for me as i will wake up my family @7 am 🙂

[@markforterealtor4537]

I have the bambino plus. I use it manually. want to step up to a higher quality. not to big. looking for suggestions.

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi mark, The Gaggia Classic Evo Pro is a step up in capabilities and build quality. It's a true machine with 58mm portafilter so you can customize with precision filter baskets, larger coffee doses and more. If you do a lot of milk drinks you might consider a machine with an HX boiler. Those can brew and steam simultaneously and do away with the boiler cooldown after steaming you have to perform on single boiler machines like the GCEP and Silvia. Currently lowest priced HX boiler machine is the Bezzera BZ10: www.wholelattelove.com/products/bezzera-bz10-espresso-machine Hope that helps! Marc

What i don't get on the website there are 2 option semi automatic and one is manual wich is better ?

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi ga, not sure I understand your question.

[@byeo9001]

My mechanic said Toyota

[@pedropons2040]

I have the daily driver and have changed the spring from a 12 to a 9 BUT the water still flows through too fast. I have also changed to a bottomless porta filter and I grind my own beans 16g per double shot. I also use a wdp Tool and have changed the screw on filter so water come through evenly without channeling. Once I grind my 16 gms w an encore barata I push the water through w a filter on top of the grounds. I press the ground beans tightly w a press that is spring loaded to compress grounds properly. I push water through and await for 2oz of espresso. I do get plenty of crema. I use the Gaggia single boiler machine.what else do you recommend I do.

[@jiajia2434]

I have one EVO pro, and I am struggling to handle its milk froth function, too difficult to make it right. I ended up putting it away..., back to my Delonghi ec685.

[@jaysea1553]

You don't fancy selling your EVO by any chance always wanted one

[@jiajia2434]

@@GriuGriu64 thanks so much for sharing your experience and technical tip, ...faulted on me not EVO pro... . I will given it try again soon!
