Hello Everyone!

I'm new but not a novice...well some may differ on this.

I'm interested in buying a Gaggia Classic as I have NEVER owned an espresso machine and this seems easy to handle for good results.

I've heard that there is a new Classic being released next yr.

1- Is this true?
2- Buy a refurb or a new one? Anyone have experience w/ Refurb units?

Any advice would help immensely!

I'm so glad to have found this site!!!
I'm totally addicted even bef I've started pulling shots on my own unit!

Whole latte love has 'em.  make sure there is a return policy on refurbs.

BTW, You need a GOOD GRINDER.  It is MORE important than the machine

Thank you but can you point me to more info?

What about MDF Gaggia Grinder?

Is it true that one espresso shot has less caffeine than a cup o'drip ?
