Hi there, I got my order today and to my dismay found that I had ordered the Intenza Water Filter for my Gaggia!!!!! heartache. Will this work in my Gaggia?

Just purchased the Gaggia Accademia yesterday and I'm very excited to receive it, along with some different coffees and other various other products. I'll keep you all posted as to my progress and the results of product when I receive it.

What does it mean when my Brewtus IV surges during a 25 second shot? It usually happens about 15 seconds in. Plenty of water in the tank. Is it time for a cleaning perhaps?

I adore my Brewtus IV! Using a mix of Illy whole bean caf and decaf, which I grind at a 13 in Rancilio Rocky

Hi Mjackson, Thanks for your response, what i wanted to say is i like to drink black coffee i don't like too strong or too bitter , just moderate . Dark roast in my opinion make it a way bitter i think . I like the combination of both robusta and arabica cause it make a good and nice flavor cup of coffee this is what we use in my country ( north africa) and we use Old Style Italian Coffeemaker for espresso ( looks like a presser cook , we have all the selection from 1 cups to 6 cups) , you can make an espresso ( strong ) coffee if you like it with milk or less if you like it black . Unforntunatly here in America all they have it's coffee made with arabica only !! now i'm trying Lavazza , i've thought i will give a try , I got a friend in France who drinks "lavazza matino " i couldn't find it , so today i've ordered "lavazza Gran aroma" which has 40% rbusta and 60% aabica ; we'll see , hopefully that gonna be the one . Thank you Mjackson for your time , all my regards.

Black Saeco Latte Art-Style Pannarello Wand

Will this wand fit a saeco incanto classic?

Saeco Syntia Focus

I'm looking to purchase this machine for our office of about 100. Would you recommend? Any advice?

I'm new to the WLL community and have been trying to decide on a new espresso machine for at-home, daily use. When I searched this site, I found 4 Gaggias and 2 Krups that fit my under $250 budget.
I really only make cappucino and latte drinks, rarely an espresso, so the wand and frothing features are important. Can anyone advise me which machine to purchase? Thanks in advance!
