r/gaggimate

I am upgrading from a Breville barista express. After a lot of research, I’ve decided that I want to mod a machine with Gaggia Mate. Question is which machine would be best for my circumstances?

I normally make two hot milk based drinks in morning, followed by iced drinks in the afternoon.

I would like to be able to nerd out on making my drinks, which is why I am getting a Gaggia mate.

Does anybody have recommendations on whether or not to get a Gaggia classic, Silva, or other?

I’m worried that the Gaggia classic will not have enough steam power to quickly make two milk drinks in the morning. How will it compare to my Breville now?

Finally aesthetically I like the Gaggia classic, but what are your favorite looking modded machines?

Hi, I recently got a TimeMore dot bluetooth scale. I read somewhere that the gaggimate isn't compatible with them unless you switch to the "nightly" mode. I connected to my gaggimate, went to the UI, and selected nightly and clicked 'save and refresh' nothing seemed to happen. The scale is still not appearing. I am defiantly putting the scale in search mode as its rapidly blinking and it does work as I tried downloading the timeMore app and connected no problem but I have now delated the app to not interfere with the binding process. Any advice or similar issues? My best guess is that I'm not properly switching to "nightly" mode ? Thanks
