    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.
