Greetings - My Gaggia Classic has died. I turned it on one morning and
went away for awhile while it warmed up. When I got back to it, it was
cold and the light on the switch was off. I've found a parts diagram
that shows a fuse. But I read several posts which left me with the
feeling that this was a thermal fuse which prevented the machine from
overheating but did not prevent it from turning on. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Farid

Is there a perfect espresso? I don't know.
but with good beans and proper technique I'd say you can make very
very good espresso, better than nearly ALL coffee places.

Hello Coffee Lovers,
I got my Gaggia Classic and MDF grinder today.
Oooohhh - hefty!! I've never seen crema like that on my old Krups, that's
for sure!
The taste of the Pavan coffee I ordered from the same Italian dealer needs
some getting used to. Nothing like what I used to get before - I may opt for
some sugar in it. Well, this is only my review after trying 5-6 rounds, not
having found the optimal setting on the grinder nor the right amount,
stamper pressure etc.
Anyone has experience with Pavan coffee? I might as well get used to it, as
I have 5 kg's...
What's your favorite coffee, folks?
Best regards,
Terje Bryhni, Norway

heh heh!
no -- often those fuses go out for no real reason, in absence of any
fault! even in fairly new machines and especially over time.

A good rig, I used one for YEARS (and the fuse went out once, too)

Well, I wasn't really worried about the fuse - that happens.
My real question is: Can I make perfect espresso with the rig?

I've taught myself to make what *I* like on a Gaggia Classic. What
*you* like is what really matters.
