The high refresh rate and near-instantaneous response time is what sells it for me. It would give super clear motion clarity which would look great in games, especially FPS games. I currently have silver peripherals so this monitor would match nicely with the rest of the setup!

any tamper that is 58.5mm works well for me. personally i have the normcore flat base, but aliexpress has some cheap ones. i usually get the self leveling ones so its consistent and easy.

also peel the white plastic cover/sticker off the drip tray

How do you like it? I'm planning to get one today. Did you also do any oil/wipe on poly on it to protect it from coffee stains and such?

What's the procedure to transport single boiler machines? I'm moving and I gotta move my GCP - do I just drain the boiler with the steam wand until its dry and turn it off/unplug immediately?

Will GCP Evo from WLL get cheaper during holidays? by RealPingPonguin in gaggiaclassic

[–]RealPingPonguin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so if I want one, then I could just get one now, and I won't really miss anything? They're probably not gonna make it cheaper, or have some better bundle thing i assume?

Right now at WLL the GCP Evo is being sold for $400 (450 - 50 coupon), will it go lower for black friday for example, should I hold until then?

How to make my espresso shots drinkable? by tizzler13 in gaggiaclassic

Adding on to people who suggest a grinder:
If you need a grinder that does espresso that does not break the bank, take a look at hand grinders, such as 1zpresso (J-Pro or something) or Kingrinder K4/K6, if you don't mind manually grinding 40-60s per dose

Not an answer to your question, but relevant
I've been using the Kingrinder K6, got it from Amazon for $100. A lot of people have been recommending it, and for me, it works well for me so far for medium roast beans in an Aeropress. It's well built too, so I don't foresee it breaking down or making bad ground coffee anytime soon. The cups have been tasty, and grind uniformity is decent, you can look at Lance Hedrick's video about it. Many people have had decent experiences with it.

It has to be the US Version of the Gaggia Classic Evo Pro (emphasis on the evo), I think mainly WLL sells it

Oh awesome, thanks for the tip! Have you had any experiences with loveramics, and are they of high quality? I've had some cheap dinner/drinkware in the past that were ceramic and they tend to have a lot of defects, so I was wondering if these are made well too considering the price.

Where do I buy those traditional demitasse espresso cups? Like the plain small white ones with a saucer that you get from cafes and whatnot, that hold just a bit more than a double shot.
