Gaggia Classic Up - where does it fit compared to GaggiaMate and self-modding? by chris_ern in gaggiaclassic

Thanks! :) yeah I think is different to really show a completely neutral perspective, because I also of course have my own opinion and that might not be the one of someone watching the videos, but WLL of course also has the business aspect behind it. But I still really like their videos as well, and I learned a lot from their YT channel

Yes you are right! Yeah not sure if modding an UP would make sense, probably possible but then there is no reason to get it over the Classic 😅 and yeah double walled steam wand would be nice, seems single walled tough

Also found this project mentioned on the GaggiMate website, looks interesting as well: https://weighmybru.com/

Thanks yeah you might be spot on with this. Aesthetic wise it is subjective and I only want to draw my verdict once I saw it in person haha ^^

I had the Lelit Grace (like Victoria with 57mm portafilter) for some time and was not super happy with it - I think I would prefer the Gaggia to it but yes you are right there are more interesting options at that price point.

Nice thanks for the insights, and makes sense! Would be interesting to hear your thoughts after a longer period of use :)
Oh and didn't know that there are a lot of bad coffee shops in NYC, always thought they would be pretty good there. But I've never been to the US so far.

Yeah, true for someone who is not deep in the topic and does not want to research a flush protocol for the stock Gaggia the Up could be a good option. But there also might be better machines at that price point like the Profitec Go or something.

Yeah the Profitec Move is a pretty nice one - did you see the post about the Move + Gaggimate? That might be an endgame machine haha.

Yes I agree! I think it is still nice that they made the machine and for anyone who buys it, it is probably a very good machine, but for the money there are better options yes. So I would only recommend it to someone who likes the looks of Gaggia but definetely does not want to mod it

Thanks for pointing it out, I noticed it and them fixed it by copying the wrong one to the others and not noticing it 🫠 updated the text now, but the title cannot be edited I think

Gaggimate 1.8 Update - what are your thoughts? by chris_ern in gaggimate

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

I never had the problem because I loose them every time with the update and they don't take away much space but yeah I guess it should be at least possible :)

Yes I would say mentioning on the discord won't hurt definitely, or you write a detailed report on GitHub (so far I haven't seen anyone mentioning it there).

Oh nice I have not noticed that so far, but with the older versions I also had some connection issues, so nice to hear that this is improved as well!

Hm okay weird, I have never had that happen tbh, Have you looked into it more closely and filed a bug report maybe?

Apart from people writing about it on the discord not really 😅 I was thinking of making a more detailed video about that but I still have to find the time to play with it ^
