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.

As the holidays approach everyone is looking for new drinks to serve to family and friends. At the same time those who have a home bar are looking to refurbish and modernize their bar stools just in time to begin their holiday entertaining. It’s the time to look around and price those wood bar stools so that you can have them in time for holiday entertaining. At the same time the new holiday drink recipes are coming out for your reading pleasure. It’s the best time to look through all of the recipes while you are also preparing to replace or refurbish your old bar stools.
If you’re going to choose wood bar stools, you have to make sure the wood grain and color match your bar. Though you don’t have to choose ones that match your bar exactly, you do want to make sure the wood tint is as close to the color of the bar as possible. For example, if your bar is a dark wood, you don’t want to choose stools that are a blond wood. Add the new stools to your new choice of warm holiday drinks for an atmosphere that is both homey and full of holiday cheer.
When you think of warm holiday drinks, many people think of hot chocolate, but there are also many others such as flavored coffees and cappuccino in holiday flavors such as pumpkin and ginger. Of course, Irish coffee is always a great addition to any holiday faire. Regardless of what drinks you are serving your guests are sure to want to take some time to sit on one of your contemporary bar stools while they enjoy chatting with other guests at the party.
Your window shopping may also include a look at some metal bar stools if not specifically for the bar as an addition to the bar stools you already have. When there is a big party, it’s always good to make sure you have some stools for those who may prefer a stool to a chair or for extra guests who just may drop in. During the holidays you will always find you have more guests show up than you invited?not because they are trying to crash your party but because they were in the area and decided to stop in and say hello. Preparing for those holiday parties ahead doesn’t mean you have to spend a great deal of money. You can buy discount bar stools and prepare the lower cost holiday drinks. To save any more money you can ask your guests to contribute a drink of their choice or bring a recipe with the ingredients to make their special concoction for everyone to enjoy. While many people choose to spare no expense for holiday parties, there is no need to spend more than is necessary. Choosing only those things that will fit within your budget will make your holiday parties enjoyable while still allowing you to stay within the terms of your budget restraints.
For those great parties on a cold night, Whattodrink.com has a great recipe for Adult Hot Chocolate. Be sure to keep this separated from those under legal drinking age because it contains alcohol.
Ingredients: 1 cup Hot Cocoa, 1-1/2 ounces Peppermint Schnapps, 1 tbs whipped cream,
Mix the Hot Cocoa and the Schnapps in a warm coffee mug and top with whipped cream for a warm holiday drink that will fit right in with your party.

The Senseo coffee machine has not only gained an excellent reputation among coffee lovers worldwide but also has contributed to the increased consumption by occasional coffee drinkers. It takes less than a minute to brew an excellent cup of coffee and this feature has made it a popular choice for those purchasing a new coffee machine. The Senseo coffee-brewing machine uses coffee pods, which are prepackaged coffee designed for the Senseo.
The Sensational Senseo
One or two cups can be brewed at a time and as there are a variety of different flavors available. There is no problem selecting one for each cup. The machine does not only produce the perfect brew but a delicious creamy layer as well. Well-known appliance manufacturer Philips and Douwe Egberts have joined forces to produce the ultimate coffee experience.
The best part is that this can be experienced every time a cup of coffee is brewed. After years of development and market research, the perfect amount of water used for the brewing process maximizes the flavor from the coffee beans. The successful brew is also contributed to the fact that the water reaches the ideal temperature for the pod to bring out the desired flavor.
The Senseo is able to brew an outstanding cup of coffee in about 60 seconds. Another very appealing feature of the coffee machine is the easy cleaning operation. The bag is simply removed and discarded after the coffee has been brewed. There is no wonder why so many people love it.
Popular Hot Winter Drinks
Brewing the perfect cup of coffee can be achieved to suit personal taste and requirements. Senseo normally comes in various strengths. There is regular, mild roast, dark roast, extra dark and decaffeinated. Senseo regular is a superb drink that can be enjoyed any time during day or night. Senseo Sevilla is a mild roasted coffee with a slightly sweet taste. As Seville reminds one of a romantic setting of peace and solitude, the coffee brand comes close to inspire the same mood. Godiva crème brulee coffee pods are specially designed for the Senseo machine.
If you simply love the aroma and flavor of vanilla and caramel in your brew then this one should not disappoint. These pods are made of pure Arabica beans and since their strength is not particularly strong, two pods may be used per cup if so desired. The deliciously sweet smell of the brew is a lot sweeter than its actual taste. When adding milk and sweetener as in regular coffees care must be taken because it can become too sweet.
If you love a sweet brew then this one may be ideal. A mild taste can be equally satisfying and one pod may be used with two cups of hot water. This amount of water can just about fill a regular size mug. As the coffee can also be served with the after dinner dessert, it is an ideal replacement for hot chocolate.
Hot chocolate is a popular drink during the cold winter months because it can provide the comfort and warmth necessary as the temperatures fall. The comforting aroma and taste also make this hot chocolate an excellent choice. The Senseo hot chocolate potholder with the purple handles is ideal for brewing the ideal chocolate drink. Hot Chocolate from Douwe Egberts is made of an excellent grade of cocoa and a frothy layer tops the smooth drink. This hot chocolate product does not contain any coffee.
Mocha Gourmet coffee pods are another sensational hot drink, especially if you are a mocha fan. The full aroma with its smooth taste gives full credit to the ‘gourmet’ title. A touch of cocoa enhances the rich coffee flavor and makes it a lovely drink for a cold winter’s night.
Senseo espresso pods can be used to make the very popular and delicious espressos. The new Senseo cappuccino pod has been developed to bring out the unique taste. A rich brown froth tops the drink and one pod is enough for a large drink.
Is making Tea as popular as Coffee?
Tea is another popular drink that can be made with the Senseo coffee brewer. People using the machine to make tea have found it to be as good as making coffee. Tea pods are a recent addition to the collection of drinks that can be brewed using this brewing system. This is mainly because tea has become popular, and the Senseo has proven to make an exceptionally good brew!
The Senseo coffee-brewing machine is the perfect addition to one’s kitchen. The Senseo can brew several beverages that are excellent on a cold day. The Senseo can brew coffee, hot chocolate, cappuccino and espresso. If you are looking for a product that can brew these drinks in under one minute, the Senseo coffee brewing system is for you.
