I have owned my Gaggia Classic espresso machine for over three years now. It is used to make two to four cups daily . I owned my own very busy coffee shop for years and this machine offers the opportunity to use your own skills to create coffee to suit your taste.
The unit uses standard 58 mm filters in a commercial grade group handle made of heavy-duty marine-grade brass with chrome plating to provide ample room for brewing rich,full espresso.
It has commercial-grade stainless steel construction a high-power 17-1/2-bar pump with a high-voltage boiler for quick warm-up times.
The Gaggia Classic is supplied with single- and double-shot stainless-steel filter baskets, coffee tamper, and 7-gram measuring scoop. Its 72-ounce water reservoir is removable for easy filling or cleaning.
The steam arm comes with a frothing unit but i quickly discarded this because of cleaning and lack of control although if you are a novice the frother works very well.I contacted the Gaggia importer and they kindly sent me an extended steam arm so I could control the frothing of milk myself. I can create my own Latte and cappuccino now.
My machine has been extremly reliable I accredit this to the superb build quality and I always cool and quickly clean the machine after every use while my milk is settling. I was talking to my local coffee machine repair man recently and he suggested the Gaggia Classic as the best Home Coffee Maker even before he knew I owned one.
A very simple to use robust machine the Gaggia Classic will complement any Kitchen so long as you like stainless steel appliances. No other colour option available as far as I know.
You can match and more likley beat the quality of coffee from your local coffee shop with this great little best coffee maker.

This is the yaoi manga “Cafe Rhapsody” by Toko Kawai with the audio for the manga. I found the audio and thought maybe someone other than me might like to see and hear this. It is not perfect. I think the audio doesn’t cover every seen and I DON’T KNOW JAPANESE. I’m not screaming, I’m just letting everyone know that. Okay, hope you like it. If you don’t like the audio then you can put it on mute or just find some other music to play it with. This is a very sweet and cuddly manga. Be prepared for boyxboy kawaiiness.

If you’re wondering does green tea have caffeine, the answer is “yes”, but the amount varies. Here’s a little Q&A that can help you make good beverage choices and even find the best dietary supplements.
Does green tea contain caffeine in the same amount as black teas?
Many sources will tell you that green teas have less than black, but that is not necessarily true. Some varieties have the same amount. The caffeine-content of the green varieties varies from 30mg to 50mg per 8 ounce cup, more or less depending on a variety of factors. Black teas average 47mg per cup. So, the real answer to does green tea have caffeine equal to black varieties is “maybe”.
Does green tea contain caffeine equal to what you find in coffee or soda?
An 8 ounce cup of drip brewed coffee contains 95mg. A 16 ounce Starbucks Cafe Latte contains 150mg and a “Grade” contains 330mg. Sodas have differing amounts depending on the brand. The soda with the highest caffeine content is Mountain Dew, coming in at 54mg per 12 ounces. When your caffeine-intake gets up to 500mg per day, you are likely to start having problems, such as poor sleep, headaches and nervousness.
Does green tea contain caffeine when you make it at home?
Brewing at home is one of the big variables. The longer that the leaves are allowed to seep, the higher the caffeine-content becomes. The amount also depends on the country where the leaves were grown. Those grown in India, for example, tend to have more than others. If you are worried about the answer to does green tea have caffeine, use a shorter brewing time.
Does green tea contain caffeine when you buy it bottled from a store?
Most of those bottled beverages don’t actually contain much tea. So, does green tea have caffeine when it is bottled? 8 ounces of Sobe regular contains only 14mg per 8 ounces. Of course you have to double that for a 16 ounce bottle. The beverages with the highest caffeine-content are those energy drinks. They claim that the “jolt” comes from green tea, ginseng and other herbs, but the stimulating effect that you get from those drinks is really due to caffeine, not herbs. If you want to really improve your energy level, start taking a good nutritional supplement instead.
Does green tea contain caffeine when it is used in dietary supplements?
The amount that is present in the best dietary supplements is minute, less than one milligram per serving. Numerous health benefits are believed to be associated with the antioxidants found in green and black teas. Antioxidants are good for your health. They protect the cells of your body from free radical damage and perform other functions. They may help you live a longer, disease-free life.
Now that you know the answer to does green tea have caffeine, you might want to learn about the benefits of antioxidants and other nutrients. Everyone can benefit from an excellent nutritional supplement. If you have two minutes to spare, please take a look at my website now.
