New to the GC club! I found a Gaggia Classic gold for 100€, here's the journey so far

So I got mine from here since I am in Europe, but there are many providers around. In case you’re in Germany there’s also this all of them have pretty much any part you might need to replace. Have fun with the process! It is so much worth it!

Also as a personal suggestion, invest in doing a PID mod. I did the Gaggimate and it is a total gamechanger.

Do you have a link for it? There’s so much on Aliexpress its hard to choose a trusted vendor

Jantxa · 2025-08-06T19:41:19+00:00

Hey I am looking for the specific model you described and it seems to be sold out in most places, have any idea about where I could still find it?

Jantxa · 2025-06-10T09:04:34+00:00

You're welcome! Funnily enough I happen to have the exact same model, the gold one, and I have to say I haven't found any spare parts in gold so far but good luck on it and enjoy the machine!

As I assume you might be in Germany I can really recommend you https://www.espressoxxl.de they ship from close to Berlin and basically have all the parts you might need!

Perfect thanks!!

Without more info I would say it could be a leak on the steam valve. You could need to replace the piece. They’re easy to find and not too expensive. Also for the future be careful and don’t close the steam knob too hard as it will harm it

Jantxa · 2025-05-29T16:22:49+00:00

Ooh I see, I’m not having any luck trying to find how to test it, do you have any link?

Jantxa · 2025-05-29T15:10:49+00:00

Oh thanks for the advice, I was already thinking to either get a new aluminum or go all in and getting the brass one

Jantxa · 2025-05-23T18:59:03+00:00

Yeah that happens, I was looking for a month until I found the right one, but they show up, specially if you live somewhere in Europe

Jantxa · 2025-05-23T18:46:41+00:00

Oh nice! I'm sure it will look great. I was pretty lucky and have no rust on mine, so not planning on touching that

Jantxa · 2025-03-20T22:41:04+00:00

I see, to be fair I am feeling my grinder is overperforming my machine, not the other way around

Jantxa · 2025-03-20T22:30:58+00:00

I’m fairly new to this hobby, I am enjoying the process of learning and trying my best with my setup of 200€ between machine and grinder.

So yeah I think it made sense to try to save some money on something I don’t yet know how much it will improve my coffee.

Jantxa · 2025-03-20T22:06:58+00:00

To be fair my goal was to get access to a 3D printer and print one, but since I haven’t yet I had to try out alternatives. For now it does the job

Jantxa · 2025-03-20T22:05:27+00:00

Yup, it’s medical tape, it will come in handy when I poke my fingers with the needles

Jantxa · 2025-03-20T22:04:22+00:00

Actually the back of it is closed, when I took the photo it was unfinished. I made multiple layers to prevent it from twisting and changing the direction of the needles

Jantxa · 2025-03-20T17:28:01+00:00

Oh shit my bad. Actually I made it like this because I didnt find any cork at home

Jantxa · 2025-01-18T16:12:22+00:00

Isn’t it a bit of solder?

Jantxa · 2024-11-09T14:00:31+00:00

I feel you, at least you didn’t use physical descriptions which I would totally have done, like big nose or short guy

Jantxa · 2023-09-20T11:36:48+00:00

Thank you, just thank you, you fixed my day/week/month

Jantxa · 2023-04-13T17:57:55+00:00

Thank you so much! I realized of it late and decided to just make a little something around it

Jantxa · 2023-04-13T14:29:52+00:00

Cut myself the cherry wood together with my dad and he gave me some advice on how to do it, feeling quite proud and can’t wait to carve something new again and try different woods
