That was my first machine. Bought it used for $50. Came home, plugged it in, turned it on.....and water leaked everywhere.

The boiler was cracked. So I learned real quick how to strip and rebuild a Gaggia Classic. Still, $100 all in for a machine that could produce god shots was a hell of a deal.

The newer ones came in a couple colours. I think I even saw a gold version somewhere.

wow what a deal - I hope it was relatively easy to fix, if not, I know who to ask!

Colours for the classic specifically are new, white was probably the most boring - had to compromise with the GF..

We bought a Mochamaster and Capresso burr grinder last month after 9 years of using k-cups. Honestly I was waiting for my Keurig to break but it is still going strong. I have not had a better cup of coffee since and should have made the change much sooner!

new beans from Temple out of Sacramento. 17g in, 30 out in 30sec at 9bar.

and swapped my BBR ETA for a BBB in-house from Mr Alfred aka FNFZ4, whom I highly recommend.

I had SBUX yesterday. Ain't the best, of course, but it's consistently consistent. And there's a lot to be said for a coffee chain that can consistently make mediocre coffee from one location to the other.

That said, their Nitro Cold Brew is really, really good.

Agree, it’s their best product for me. That really is the only drink I step into their stores for now.

Completely agree.

I've had my Barista Express for 6+ years now. Nothing compares to it, especially when I just started using Laird Hamilton coffee (medium roast). It's like these beans were made for this machine.

I'm a big Chemex fan. Recently, I've been partial to beans roasted by Kuma.

From the jj bean bag is it safe to assume you’re from Vancouver? Always good to see other vancouver people on here.

For me it’s aero press all day along with my Turnograph 116264. That thing makes the best damn coffee I ever had.
