    Hi cjj.....can't help with any deals sorry but all the talk of coffee machines made us lift our old Gaggia out of the loft. We haven't had a decent coffee since:rotfl:just can't get it right:(

    If the gaggia is giving you problems with weak coffee shots try a finer grind and tamp it down really firmly. Worth a try.
