Hi, I have been making french press coffee for the last 2 years. Recently got my hands on Aero press. Now planning to get Gaggia Classic Pro Evo (metal series).

As of now I have a hand grinder (burr) and have option to procure pre grounded coffee from local roaster.

Just wanted to know your thoughts. Which was your first espresso machine? How was your experience? What's few things I should look out for as a beginner? What's your favourite recipe?

The EVO has a teflon coated aluminium boiler. This should prevent pitting and corrosion in theory, and with no abrasive action on the teflon should theoretically last a long time. The use of descalers should be checked for the effect on the teflon coating of the boiler. The non-chromed group seems like a minor improvement. I think this is a good choice for a keen espresso starter, but I would look for a decent grinder too.

Any suggestions for a grinder on budget? How's Gaggia MD15?
