    Before I got my gaggia classic, my routine would be v60 on weekdays before work with an aeropress here and there and moka pot on the weekend. The process of moka pot brewing feels so zen to me

      Please tell me how you make good espresso on that machine? I cannot for the life of me make anything good without milk

        Prior to getting my gaggia classic e24 this past Christmas, I watched a ton of videos. The how to video for the specific machine from whole latte love and some James Hoffman espresso troubleshooting videos helped me. I originally used beans from a local roaster and now I’m using a bag of gaggia espresso blend I got with my machine. I’m using a Breville smart grinder hovering around grind setting 7-8, 18 grams in the double shot basket. Brew time is usually 25-30 seconds.
