hello. after 8 years of a lurker here, i finally took the plunge!
upgraded from a delonghi magnifica S (4 years still "going strong") to a gaggia classic pro ($630)
and without any experience with manuals, the first 10 shots pulled were already some much more flavoursome than the delonghi.
problem i have is to fit a cup under the portafilter and so am looking to get a proper coffee cup (as opposed to mugs) and a naked portafilter hoping to fit them under the brew head and hopefully accomodate a small scale as well.
the gaggia one is quite exxy and i was wondering if ANY 58mm portafilter will be ok? there are some going in amazon around the 30-50 dollar mark.
many thanks in advance from a newbie.
