Title: Gaggia Gran
Post by: jstidley on August 13, 2009, 03:55:15 PM

Now you have me searching craigslist like an addict! I'm not really familiar with any of the Gaggia products. It looks like the Gran is no longer made. It also seems to have some plastic parts on it, does this rate in the realm of a Rancilio Silvia or is is a SB Barista?

I've never seen a Gaggia Gran, but something is reminding me they're not a desirable model. I believe the have aluminum groups and aluminum portafilters, rather than brass. For that price you can usually find Espresso or Carezza models.
