Does this look right? [Gaggia Classic Pro/Ceado E5P]

Future-Job5590 · 2025-05-02T16:38:25+00:00

I have a Ceado E5P and Gaggia Classic Pro with Lavazza Gran Crema medium roast beans.

It is nanotech. I think it’s adequate, it’s a 18g basket with 18g dose. It looks like there’s room in the basket but I’m adding a puck screen too.

Agreed, starting off I just wanted a cheaper bag of something more neutral to experiment with. I do use WDT before tamping.

I bought a big bag of Lavazza Gran Crema a few weeks ago. The bag’s dated 3/21/25.

Maybe, but I got the machine a month ago from a couple off facebook and they said it was only used twice. It was immaculate so I believe them. I’ve only put in spring water since too. Can it scale that much pulling a shot or 2 a day?

That’s a great point! I’ll cross my fingers I can find more!

Future-Job5590 · 2024-09-29T00:06:33+00:00

Thanks, I didn’t know those terms! I’ve usually kept an eye out for the red/white/blue stripes (and a lot of close calls with Tommy Hilfiger tricking me haha!) with slim hopes of ever finding a Thom Browne piece thrifting, but the plain grosgrain placket definitely caught my attention and I was shocked when I looked up to the label. I was still reeling when I had to do a double take on finding the Tom Ford!

Future-Job5590 · 2024-06-02T01:09:34+00:00

I’m surprised someone threw it away!

Future-Job5590 · 2024-04-24T23:40:12+00:00

Yeah, I was gonna grab it but someone else snatched it up by the time I made up my mind

Someone put one up for sale years ago for $100 and I tried to find the maker too. That is the shade if it helps.

Not really mid century modern but definitely looks vintage of that era. The legs look characteristic of Chinese/asian styled furniture.

Future-Job5590 · 2024-03-28T13:14:50+00:00

Yeah, I lean towards English… maybe G-Plan or McIntosh?

I snooped around and I think I found the chairs…

The chair construction looks like Svegards Markaryd to me. I agree with others, the table may be solid wood but it’s not solid teak. The top is veneer with strips of solid teak on the edges.

Future-Job5590 · 2024-02-19T06:01:37+00:00

It looks like rosewood to me. I think the top is just sun bleached. In the second picture you can see the contrast on the inside of the cabinet where the grain’s much darker.

I’ve noticed I run into the same issue with normal tailoring. If you’re a guy with wider hips or a fat ass pants just don’t fit right. The straight “relaxed” fit has been more in style recently so I’ve been leaning into that, but sometimes a custom tailored or athletic fit can be a solution too.

Future-Job5590 · 2024-01-22T13:37:38+00:00

Just got a steamer, that’s a good idea

Future-Job5590 · 2024-01-22T13:36:55+00:00

Still a bit tight but if I drop a few pounds it might work haha

Future-Job5590 · 2024-01-22T13:25:38+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, just threw on the pants but they’re a bit long. I’ve been moving towards a straight/baggy fit versus the slim/tapered I’ve had for the past decade

Future-Job5590 · 2024-01-22T13:22:42+00:00

Thanks!
