This Gaggia has transformed my coffee-making abilities. It delivers consistent shots everytime ive used it (2 weeks now). I’m in love with the forest green look, the hardware (really high quality solid stainless steel portafilter/ brass group looks badass) and what it delivers. I hope that the bwt filter im using for water conditioning does the trick in the long term. My only pain point is even af Fabrice P. · wholelattelove.com
