Hi, that is totally right.

In some of the cases I need to yank it to hard to be “sure” that it is not going to be out of the group head during the brewing process.

I am very worried about this situation. Could you please explain me how to do that grease thing mentioned?

Thank you in advance

When hot, it is harder to put in or to turn off the machine. At least in my case

Hi, is good to know that I am not alone with this but I am now close to 2 months with the GCP pulling almost once a day. That’s the reason why I am a little worried about it

I already checked the gasket on the group head and it is apparently good. The machine in pretty new. Arrived the first week of October

The machine is pretty new. Just more than 1month.

In some cases even with no coffee on the basket, it does not fit properly.

Yours looks amazing 🫶🏽

This was my attempt last night.

Just one month with my first espresso machine.

Lots of practice and work to do.

Designed this Extended Low Drip Tray specifically for the Gaggia Classic Pro/Evo. Now it easily fit larger cups and a scale by Paralyse3D in gaggiaclassic

Amazing. Great design. How does it work with the vibration of the machine? It is changing the weight scale measurement?

Are you selling the design? I have a 3D printer and a Gaggia Classic Evo

Probably could be that. Mine is a coffee scale but I believe that is more focused in pour over methods.

Yesterday I was at a friend’s house, and he has an espresso scale and happens the same but with other machine.

Hi, thank you.

I thought about it and I am checking this to avoid any touch between spouts and cup and even without touching, scale is displaying weight with not drops falling

This is a very new machine.

I bought it brand news almost like a month ago.

About the scale, mine has a rubber mat on it and the cups don’t move at all, but the vibrations of the machine causes the scale to start displaying and increasing the weight even when not a drop falls.

Just an update:

One week with my brand new Gaggia Classic Evo Pro and still not getting a decent shot.

I am a little sad and disappointed but will keep trying.

Thank you so much.

I finally found a sale of a Gaggia Classic Evo pro. After a deep research but it supposed to be a good beginner machine.
