Ah lovely, what grinder was you using before? I've got a Sage barista express, great machine,one of my friends has a gaggia (the latest model so fixed a few issues the previous 2 generations had), and while it does make a better shot its not good enough to justify having to buy a new machine and a separate grinder (because lets be honest if you need a grinder you'd be a fool not buy a niche now which cost more than my barista express alone!). So next upgrade will be a big one but the other half might kill me if I do it anytime soon.
v60 does make a cracking brew for how easy and cheap they are. If I want black coffee I pretty much always go v60 over an americano
I got a Iberital MC2 which I got at the same time as the Gaggia. I’ve got my money’s worth from them, like 13/14 years of use. Any upgrade to the Gaggia will likely be something like a Lelit Mara which have to wait until I get the house lol
