Only in coffee circles will we enjoy watching the minor differences between two almost identical espresso machines for nearly eight minutes... and enjoy it, I did 👍Brass, you say? 😂
As a owner of a classic E24: Can you please explain in a further video if the temperature surfing is still required? If yes, with which parameters? Btw. thx for all the great content!
Gaggia Classic Pro E24 or the Profitec Go ? I understand they both are on different price ranges, but i really like the box design of both the machines, Quick heatup time and looking for a small single boiler machine to replace my EC685.
E24 a classic that reached perfection . For steaming with my Profitec Go i use a capuccinatore milk froather so i have a double boiler. You can do the same with the Classic P.S. the yellow classic is a must have
have shortlisted the E24 and the profitecGo, Just two cappuccinos a day for me, looking for a Single boiler and a small compact machine ... Does the PID on the Go really beneficial and worth the extra money ? Currently on the EC685 which is good with dark roasts, but screws up completely with light and medium roasts.
Order from cworks you say? Have done and used the code the other day 😊 Just waiting for my first order to arrive and keep me caffeinated over Christmas. Many thanks and happy Christmas 🎄
Hey Kev, I have this machine with the brass boiler ~ is Whole Latte Love correct in saying the group has to be flushed before every shot to get the right temperature???
Well, you don't "have" to do anything, but some form of temperature surfing is always going to better than none, on a thermostat machine, and even on PID machines I'd run a flush at least prior to the first shot to heat up the portafilter and the cup. In theory with a brass boiler (better at holding heat than Alu) and also with a brass group, if you've left the machine on for a while, and then just pull a shot, you may be starting off above where you want to be with brew temp, similar to with E61 machines. If WLL are saying that all you need to do is a flush, then that's ace! Traditionally with classics you'd want to temperature surf, which entails a bit more than a flush alone. I've not properly tested this, but from the shots I've pulled with the E24 so far, it does feel like just a flush will probably do the trick, although there would be no harm in developing a temp surfing routine. Ta, Kev.
I'm not sure I'd specifically use the lack of a separate thermoblock for steam as a con, that's quite a specific feature (Legato/Apex & Kafmasino) but yeah, it's fair to say that this is an increasingly competitive market, and I do think the classic is at risk of falling behind given some of the similarly priced competition - although, there are pros to the Classic too. I'll do a side by side comparison with the Apex soon. Ta, Kev.
@Coffee_Kev look forward to seeing that. Ilhere in the uk I noticed there is now a second gen mii coffee which includes a adjustable pressure valve as well as the other features for £399.00 which makes this without even a automatic single shot and double shot button a real letdown
Nice one Kev, the quick intro genuinely made me lol. Like spike for the intro.

Hahaha, yeah you make a good point 😆

I have been very impressed with Kev’s coffee so far, now have a couple on subscription 👍
That's very kind of you to say, thanks Dave 😎
The spare brass boiler is on Mrbean2cup but it's £150 vice £64 for the coated aluminium boiler. So that's where the money was spent.

@dineshnadar5214 , if you want light roasts go with the Go that has a Gicar PID out of the box.
Did they increase the headroom for cups under the portafilter from previous models or is it my imagination?

Excellent! Thanks for the order, I hope Royal Mail doesn't mess it up! 😆
@Coffee_Kev all received 😁
Give the people what they want!
Press and hold? Release? I feel like I’m in the Bambino zone…

Thanks Kev!
Love your videos. Newbie question, what is a coffee botherer? 😅
When is Skillshare: Clash of Dr Squatch coming out?
Very interesting video, especially because I own a classic pro 2023 and it’s (chocolate) flakes test time now 😅
If you get Cadbury's flakes from your wand, I'd buy it off you for a handsome price 😝
£500.00 and it does not even come with a separate thermal block for the steam wand. this is not good enough for the money

I’d not be so blunt, I’ve a classic since three years, and it’s overall a very good a capable machine. Let the caffè talk.
your shtick gets in the way of the content.
Not much, though. Everyone’s got shtick.
And?
