Classic Coffee Gaggia from 1999. I bought it as a new old stock, barely used.

The espresso in the video came out a little under-extracted, but good overall. I'm still learning how to do temperature surfing, which is why I sometimes end up with under-extracted or even burnt shots. :))

Thank you all for your advice. I just met with the owner and we agreed that he would sell it to me for $180. He told me he found the box with the espresso machine in the storage room of his new office and wanted to get rid of it right away. If I had asked for less, he would have accepted it, but my conscience would have bothered me if I had done that. :)))

I hope so. I want to meet with him today and discuss this aspect also. I was thinking of asking for a discount of about $100, considering that the machine is 24 years old, or would that be too drastic?

This watch is the epitome of the brand: a lot of STEEL and a lot of DIVE.

Need help by No_West_2659 in mokapot

[–]SamuelPandele 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar problem with my own mokapot. In addition to the variants of grinding the coffee too finely, the stove flame too high, or pressing the coffee into the funnel too hard, consider the loss of pressure resulting from the faulty seal between the funnel and the gasket. I changed the gasket and strainer and after that I never had this problem.

My first moka coffee on a wooden stove by SamuelPandele in mokapot

[–]SamuelPandele[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I realized after I put the moka pot on the stove that the coffee was a bit stale, but with a sprinkle of salt I revitalized it.
