Testing The Gaggia Classic Pro E24 Vs Evo Pro 23.

[@FatNorthernBigot]

Only in coffee circles will we enjoy watching the minor differences between two almost identical espresso machines for nearly eight minutes... and enjoy it, I did 👍Brass, you say? 😂

[@Coffee_Kev]

Hahaha, yeah you make a good point 😆

[@KeithChung88]

Nice one Kev, the quick intro genuinely made me lol. Like spike for the intro.

[@commander129]

As a owner of a classic E24: Can you please explain in a further video if the temperature surfing is still required? If yes, with which parameters? Btw. thx for all the great content!

[@georgiosgalanopoulos7379]

E24 a classic that reached perfection . For steaming with my Profitec Go i use a capuccinatore milk froather so i have a double boiler. You can do the same with the Classic P.S. the yellow classic is a must have

[@davep9528]

I have been very impressed with Kev’s coffee so far, now have a couple on subscription 👍

[@Coffee_Kev]

That's very kind of you to say, thanks Dave 😎

[@TheMcspreader]

The spare brass boiler is on Mrbean2cup but it's £150 vice £64 for the coated aluminium boiler. So that's where the money was spent.

[@DamianSheesh]

Did they increase the headroom for cups under the portafilter from previous models or is it my imagination?

[@burnsbits5829]

Order from cworks you say? Have done and used the code the other day 😊 Just waiting for my first order to arrive and keep me caffeinated over Christmas. Many thanks and happy Christmas 🎄

[@Coffee_Kev]

Excellent! Thanks for the order, I hope Royal Mail doesn't mess it up! 😆

[@burnsbits5829]

@Coffee_Kev all received 😁

[@garner145]

Give the people what they want!

[@nathanwent4575]

Love your videos. Newbie question, what is a coffee botherer? 😅

[@marklsanders]

Press and hold? Release? I feel like I’m in the Bambino zone…

[@johng9562]

Hey Kev, I have this machine with the brass boiler ~ is Whole Latte Love correct in saying the group has to be flushed before every shot to get the right temperature???

[@Coffee_Kev]

Well, you don't "have" to do anything, but some form of temperature surfing is always going to better than none, on a thermostat machine, and even on PID machines I'd run a flush at least prior to the first shot to heat up the portafilter and the cup. In theory with a brass boiler (better at holding heat than Alu) and also with a brass group, if you've left the machine on for a while, and then just pull a shot, you may be starting off above where you want to be with brew temp, similar to with E61 machines. If WLL are saying that all you need to do is a flush, then that's ace! Traditionally with classics you'd want to temperature surf, which entails a bit more than a flush alone. I've not properly tested this, but from the shots I've pulled with the E24 so far, it does feel like just a flush will probably do the trick, although there would be no harm in developing a temp surfing routine. Ta, Kev.

[@johng9562]

Thanks Kev!

When is Skillshare: Clash of Dr Squatch coming out?

[@riccardo-nr4]

Very interesting video, especially because I own a classic pro 2023 and it’s (chocolate) flakes test time now 😅

[@Coffee_Kev]

If you get Cadbury's flakes from your wand, I'd buy it off you for a handsome price 😝

[@dantae666]

£500.00 and it does not even come with a separate thermal block for the steam wand. this is not good enough for the money

[@Coffee_Kev]

I'm not sure I'd specifically use the lack of a separate thermoblock for steam as a con, that's quite a specific feature (Legato/Apex & Kafmasino) but yeah, it's fair to say that this is an increasingly competitive market, and I do think the classic is at risk of falling behind given some of the similarly priced competition - although, there are pros to the Classic too. I'll do a side by side comparison with the Apex soon. Ta, Kev.

[@dantae666]

@Coffee_Kev look forward to seeing that. Ilhere in the uk I noticed there is now a second gen mii coffee which includes a adjustable pressure valve as well as the other features for £399.00 which makes this without even a automatic single shot and double shot button a real letdown

[@riccardo-nr4]

I’d not be so blunt, I’ve a classic since three years, and it’s overall a very good a capable machine. Let the caffè talk.

[@nikolaah]

your shtick gets in the way of the content.

[@marklsanders]

Not much, though. Everyone’s got shtick.

[@riccardo-nr4]

And?

[@nikolaah]

@ it's boring
