Replaced a Gaggia Classic with installed PID (3rd Gaggia Classic over 20 years) and out of the box the Pro 300 makes better plus more consistent cappuccinos. The same beans produce a more aromatic, intense flavor that seems to last longer. I've added a bottomless portafilter with wooden handle. Looks great! Boris M. · wholelattelove.com
