Machine

QUESTION:

Does anyone own a machine which makes excellent espresso and gives a good "crema" each time? More importantly, EASY TO CLEAN, reliable and relatively trouble free. My current machine is a Gaggia "Classic" which i have never really been happy with. After only nine months of use this machine has had to be sent back to a Gaggia Dealer for a service as the pump is not delivering any pressure.
As for cleaning, in particular the shower head filter, i would be interested in hearing what methods other people use to clean this item. the only method which i have found to be 100% successful is to sandblast it. I know it may seem a bit "over the top" but it does get the filter back to new condition.
I am living in the UK where Coffee drinking is still not as big as what it is in the States or other European countries. So what machines have others had experience of and how do you rate them?

ANSWER:

I've had a Gaggia Classic for a few years amd have been quite happy with it.
I've found that good espresso (including crema) is qiute regularly possible.
If you've been around this group more than a few days, you'll realise that the variables are endless, beans, grind, tsmp humidity, lunar phase, position of Leicester City in the league etc. No one gets great espresso every time. My advice would be to get it right often with the Classic before you splash out again.

  • Someone stole my little Melita filter cone at my office. For regular coffee (as opposed to espresso), I prefer press pot anyway, and was thinking of the 8-oz Bodum travel press. But I thought I'd check here first. Anyone have any other ideas? My requirements: it needs to be simple to use, simple to clean, small enough to tuck in my cabinet, and cheap enough I don't need to worry about it getting stolen.
