Gaggia Classic Pro here with the 9 bar spring mod and a VST basket. Using a Baratza Encore grinder. The quintessential "Dipping my toes into espresso" bundle.
18g grams of beans in, 36 grams of liquid out. Froth and pour in 100ml of full cream milk.
I wonder how much of Gaggia's position is supported by the Classic Pro. Super simple, easy to fix.
