My new toy

I just got me a Gaggia Espresso Pure to replace my aging Krups steam espresso machine. I'm just glad that GE monogram distributes Gaggia products, I have been looking for a long time to get a hold of a decent espresso machine.




Still getting the hang of it, testing beans from different coffee outlets and diffrent grinds thru my Starbucks Barista burr grinder. Looking for that perfect Grind, Tamp and Pull. I'll get it eventually, and steaming milk is another challenge because the panarallo wand that came with it is no good for making microfoam latte, cappuccino yes, cafe latte nope.

I'm off to the local Starbucks for some beans, wish we had Illy or Lavazza here :(
