Best praise vs top criticism for Gaggia Classic Pro
“If you are handy with plumbing and electricity, fixing up an old Gaggia Classic is a great DIY project. The folks on r/gaggiaclassic can help you do it. If you were to pay someone to fix it, the labor charges will likely exceed the value of the machine.”
“Can't recommend it enough. I actually make perfectly delicious espresso with it, ran through my Gaggia Classic. Despite what matey boy will tell you on Reddit, you don't need to spend eye-watering amounts of cash on gear to make really nice coffee.”
