After nearly 20 years, I upgraded my espresso equipment (new stuff in second pic)

For no real reason, other than I wanted to, I upgraded my espresso setup. Both the Gaggia Classic (2006 model) and the MDF (2001 model) performed flawlessly throughout. We used the MDF for both drip (Technivorm) and espresso/lattes. Adding it all up, i would guess I probably ground over 2000lbs of coffee with the little MDF and only had one broken part in all of those years. The Gaggia setup is heading to college with our son - he is thrilled.

The new stuff…Profitec Drive and Mazzer Philos. Still working all of the kinks out but the equipment is very nice. Hopefully it will perform for 20 years too with as few of problems. I don’t have the most discerning palate so I can’t say I can see a lot of difference in the coffee/espresso but the double boiler makes for a quicker brew session as well as the grinder is quicker too.

I’ve learned a lot from this forum, thank you!
