If you've been waiting for a proper dual boiler Gaggia, this is probably the machine you've been watching.
In this video I take an in-depth look at the new Gaggia Classic GT, covering everything from the build quality and workflow to the brewing performance, steaming power and whether it's actually worth the price.
We'll look at:
• Dual boiler performance
• PID temperature control
• Volumetric dosing
• Adjustable OPV
• Heat-up time
• Real-world workflow
• Milk steaming and latte art
• Espresso taste test
• The pros, the cons and who I think this machine is for
Rather than just reading the spec sheet, I wanted to see what living with the machine is actually like and whether Gaggia has made something that deserves a place alongside the best home espresso machines.
If you've got any questions about the GT, leave them in the comments and I'll do my best to answer them.
