See the popular entry-level Gaggia Classic espresso machine and MDF grinder in action. Marc from WholeLatteLove.com pulls espresso shots using a standard non-pressurized basket and compares it to a shot made with a pressurized basket. The Gaggia Classic and MDF grinder are a solid choice for those looking for a capable entry-level home espresso setup that will grow with their skill. It's a step up in quality from less capable espresso appliances. Marc pulls the shots using Maromas Orphea coffee. It's a delicious, easy-to-work-with Italian style coffee known for producing lots of crema and chocolate flavor with smooth mouth feel.
