Billy Matthews loves nothing better than taking his Gaggia Classic coffee machine apart and then cleaning or modifying it.

The 28-year-old NHS health professional from Bournemouth didn’t even have a ‘proper’ cup of coffee until 3 years ago, but it gave him that ‘eureka’ moment that’s led to a fascination with coffee, especially Gaggia machines.

Now he’s known across social media as The Coffee Bill, making his own videos using Gaggia coffee machines.

His forte is also showing people how to modify and maintain their Gaggia machines to be sure of the very best performance at all times. 

He even got his hands on one Gaggia machine that hadn’t be cleaned since it was bought back in 2007 and shows just how mucked up a coffee shower screen and boiler can get - causing the water to dribble all over the place - yet how easy it can be to clean. It takes just one bolt and a few minutes.

Billy – who has worked in cancer care in his ‘day job’ and will soon start a new role with stroke patients - said: “My deep love of coffee all started when I was staying with a friend in London in 2022 and he asked if I wanted a cup of coffee so I said a cup of instant would be great.

“But he had an espresso machine and made me a flat white which was by far the greatest cup of coffee I’d ever had. It was the best flavour, the best texture, everything about it was brilliant and I thought about that coffee all day.”

The coffee had not just sparked an interest, it sparked an obsession and a quest for Billy to learn all he could about coffee.

After a year experimenting with a second-hand coffee machine, Billy felt he was ready to take it to another level and his local coffee shop – the Seventh Seal in Dorchester – highly recommended the Gaggia Classic.

Billy has never looked back since getting his Classic.

“The coffee from a Gaggia Classic can be exquisite and it took me on a great learning curve, accelerating my knowledge,” said Billy. “I now have a deep passion for brewing and learning while sharing everything I’ve discovered along the way.

“The Gaggia Classic strikes the perfect balance of great performance out of the box yet is highly customisable for those who want to take things further. The huge community around it and its strong reputation make it the ideal machine to start - and grow - with.”
Billy does his own videos which he publishes mainly on Instagram and YouTube, showing people how to properly clean and descale their Gaggia – including how often to do it and the best products to use – as well as how to modify or upgrade your Gaggia yourself.

One shows the installation of the wonderfully named Proportional Integral Derivative - thankfully PID for short - to give complete control over the water temperature.

Billy, who has 6,554 followers on Instagram, adds: “I’m never happier than when I’m stripping down a Gaggia coffee machine to see how it all works. I think people have a fear of fear itself when it comes to anything technical but I take them through it step by step and it really isn’t as daunting as they think.

“Everyone needs to learn how to clean and descale their Gaggia coffee machine regularly and then take the short time needed to make it happen.”

One follower, Lucas Hutton, said: “I went through this exact process two years ago and fixed my parents’ machine that had been sat around for like a decade.”

That’s the problem. Many coffee machines lying around unused often only need a good clean to get them going again.

Billy also loves to inject humour into his videos.

In one he places his Gaggia Classic coffee machine in front of  world coffee expert James Hoffman doing a presentation on the TV, imploring it to learn how to make great coffee.

“That one did well, better than expected,” said Billy.

He’s just been filming a review of the new Gaggia GT coffee machine which will be out soon on his YouTube channel.

And one of Billy’s videos goes into the joys of decaf coffee.

“Decaffeinated coffee can get a bad reputation but I can’t understand why,” says Billy. “Decaf beans have a lot of flavour to give but I talk about why it’s so easy to over extract from them in the video.”

In short, Billy’s coffee philosophy is simple.
“Coffee can be a great way to destress if you have a stressful life,” he says. “It certainly helps me.”

​Why Coffee Kev who runs the Coffee Blog says it’s ‘got to be a Gaggia’
 
Kev Lewis is one of the UK’s leading independent coffee reviewers and his first ever espresso coffee machine was a Gaggia.

He knows Gaggia UK well and will always suggest people get a machine from Gaggia due to its phenomenal customer service and the fact its experts are always on hand to help.

Kev says: “The reason I always recommend Gaggia Direct when I’m talking about Gaggia machines is that I genuinely believe these are the best people in the UK to buy the machines from. They stock the machines here in the UK, you can simply call them if you have a problem and they have engineers in-house to fix any problems.

“They are the guys who offer the Gaggia warranty in the UK too so if you buy any official Gaggia UK machine (not a grey import with a plug adapter) they will be the guys responsible for your warranty.

“I’ve spent time at their building in Elland near Halifax and I’ve seen and heard them interacting with new and existing customers. Even managing director Raj Beadle answers the calls and gives advice which is amazing - I’ve never heard of this happening anywhere else before.

“People don’t appreciate how rare yet how important that is to have a main dealer who offers such excellent sales support from a team with such an in-depth knowledge of the entire Gaggia range.

“I’ve also had a lot of feedback from fellow coffee botherers who are customers of theirs and, as a result, I’m always very comfortable to recommend them.”

Kev, 47, lives in Stockport and his YouTube channel studio is based at Alderley Edge in Cheshire near Manchester Airport, along with his coffee sales business The Coffee Works (https://www.cworks.co.uk) which supplies freshly roasted coffee beans.

It all began in 2015 when Kev was bought a cafetière for his birthday and wrote a review about it. When he realised he’d notched up 2,000 words he realised there may be a blog in it so he set up his own blog – simply called Coffee Blog (https://coffeeblog.co.uk), followed by his own  Coffee Kev YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@Coffee_Kev) where he has almost 68,000 subscribers. You can also catch him on Instagram at @ukcoffeeblog
Yes, you’ve probably guessed by now that Kev is a ‘details guy.’ When he reviews coffee machines it’s in-depth but not overly technical so anyone – whatever their knowledge of coffee machines – can follow it.

He says: “It’s not that simple buying a coffee machine any more as there are so many out there to choose from so my blogs are often designed to provide useful information to those looking for help. I try to give a lot of detail.”

Kev has a strict set of testing criteria – such as how hot the water is, how long it takes to reach that temperature and the loudness of each machine which he measures on his decibel meter.

Apart from his videos presentations, Kev also writes it down in the blog so coffee lovers can see what he’s saying at a glance and also remind themselves of specifications and machine dimensions later.

He’ll use a coffee machine he’s going to review for at least a couple of weeks before he writes a word so gets to know it really well.

“There’s certainly a lot of effort behind each piece of coffee content I do,” says Kev. “Doing a full review can easily take the best part of a couple of days.”

And the style certainly works supremely well with Kev now reaching 2 million users a year.

Kev, who went through the Speciality Coffee Association barista training to improve his general coffee knowledge, said: “The first espresso machine I bought was a 2003 Gaggia Classic which I purchased in 2016. It was built like a tank and absolutely spot on.”

He set up The Coffee Works when he had trouble sourcing unusual or speciality coffees and his biggest seller – coincidentally his own favourite which he drinks every day – is the chocolate brownie blend.

The business began with 4 coffees and now has 23 - they roast the beans every day and grind to order, if required, so every bag sent out is guaranteed fresh.

Kev adds: “I think our best coffee for bean to cup machines is the chocolate fondant which is more edgy and has something of a kick.”

His range veers from a classic Italian blend to a Millionaires Shortbread Honduras blend, a Marzipan Truffle and even an Apple Pie and Custard Half Caffeine.

When it comes to the Gaggia range Kev reckons people wanting a manual machine should always go for the Gaggia Classic and, for the bean to cup machine, opt for the Gaggia Brera.

So there you are … go get a Gaggia!

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 33 years since I began working with Gaggia.
In the same year that the now-iconic Gaggia Classic was launched, I found myself stepping into what would become a lifelong relationship with one of the most respected names in espresso. It feels right to tell this story now – not just because it’s personal, but because it runs parallel with the evolution of espresso itself in homes across the UK...

Special iced coffees are a super cool way to stay cool this summer … and here are 3 great recipes
 
It’s summer and fair to say it’s far warmer in Italy – the home of Gaggia – than it is here in the UK.

That’s why Gaggia Milano – the Gaggia headquarters in Italy - is using coffee in a cool and very classy way to, well, help coffee lovers cool down.

It’s launched its Iced Coffee Club which means every Friday a new super cool coffee recipe is revealed … and anyone can join the club which you’ll find on Instagram @gaggiamilano.

Short videos show you exactly how to make them so why not join the club and get as cool as they are in Italy.

Here are the first 3 recipes with many more to come @gaggiamilano so why not give them a try.
 
Tiramisù Latte. 
First up is a coffee twist on the classic Italian dessert.

1. Make the first layer by whipping together heavy cream, whole milk and sugar to your taste. Pour it into a glass but make sure it isn’t too dense.
2. Place a few small ice cubes on top.
3. Brew your Gaggia espresso and pour over the ice cubes.
4. Top with a cream made with mascarpone cheese mixed with heavy cream and sugar.
5. Dust with cocoa.
 
Dreamy Orange
If you love orange and cinnamon then you’ll adore this second recipe.

1. Make a creamy layer by frothing heavy cream with a high-quality blood orange juice, adding a squeeze or two of agave syrup.
2. Drop an ice cube in.
3. Brew your Gaggia espresso and pour it into the glass.
4. Decorate with a cinnamon stick.
 
Affogato Rebel
Affogato is a big scoop of vanilla ice cream with a hot espresso shot poured over it but this third recipe gives it a twist by using ice cream bars instead of ice cream.
​
1.⁠ ⁠Put a couple of mini ice cream bars in a glass.
2.⁠ ⁠Brew your Gaggia long espresso directly into the glass.
3.⁠ ⁠Make a creamy layer by frothing coconut cream, then pour it over the espresso.
4.⁠ ⁠Add an extra mini ice cream bar. 

These 3 great recipes are only the start so remember to check @gaggiamilano out every Friday for more.

How ice can make your coffee and mocktails extra nice … and here are 3 great Gaggia recipes

Heatwaves and long sunny days don’t trouble the UK that often so let’s make the most of them by mixing coffee with ice.

An iced coffee is actually great in summer, autumn, winter and spring and here we share three great recipes for luxury coffee mocktails with you.

To help you on your way, we can update the software on your Magenta Prestige and the Cadorna Prestige, which will give you that over ice function. All our new machines of these two models have it and if you want it on yours, simply contact us. 
​
Any machine that comes in for a service or maintenance will be automatically upgraded.

Gaggia UK managing director Raj Beadle says: “We all love a hot coffee but iced coffee is certainly becoming increasingly popular, never more so than when we’re lucky enough to get a spell of hot weather.

“Many people who have never tried an iced coffee before are amazed by the taste and just want to explore what else they can do with coffee and ice so we thought we’d share these three great recipes with you.”

The recipes for these non-alcoholic mocktails have been devised especially for Gaggia by Christian Tirro and Vanessa Ferrini from the Italian Barista Academy.

The three are a Virgin Expresso Colada, a Ginger Coffee Spritz and a Chilled Banana Shake.

Virgin Espresso Colada
Ingredients
20ml coconut syrup
100ml pineapple juice
100ml coconut drink
The juice of half a lemon
6 ice cubes
Soda
1 double espresso 

This is so easy to make in a blender. Pour in the coconut syrup, pineapple juice, coconut milk, the juice of half a lemon and 6 ice cubes. Mix everything until you get a creamy smoothie.

Then pour it into your cocktail glass, add a few extra ice cubes, drop in a splash of soda to make the drink fizzy and finally add the cooled down espresso on top. This will make the drink more intense.

If you fancy garnishing it then decorate the glass with a pineapple leaf and a slice of dried pineapple on top.
 
Ginger Coffee Spritz
Ingredients
1 espresso
2cl ginger syrup
Lime juice
Soda
Ice
A slice of dried lemon
Candied ginger
 
1. Brew a double espresso with your Gaggia machine and pour it into the glass.

2. Add the ginger syrup in the glass, over the espresso, then stir so the aromas can mix.

3. Squeeze a lime into the soda and then pour the lime-flavored soda into the glass.

4. Add a handful of crushed ice into the glass and top with an extra splash of lime soda.

You can garnish your Ginger Coffee Spritz with a dried slice of lemon and candied ginger.
 
Chilled Banana Shake Mocktail
Ingredients  (for 1 drink)

1 espresso shot
1 over-ice coffee (prepared with Gaggia Cadorna or Magenta Prestige)
1 banana
4cl of coconut syrup
150ml of coconut milk
1cl of liquid sugar
Ice cubes

Instructions (you can probably skip decorating the glass if you want)
1 Prepare the banana milkshake: Combine a banana, coconut syrup, coconut milk and liquid sugar in a blender and blend until you obtain a thick, smooth mixture. This will be the creamy base for your drink.

2  Prepare the Coffee Cream: Using an electric milk frother or whisk whip together the espresso, water and liquid sugar until you get a firm, velvety foam.

3  Decorate the Glass: Use a kitchen brush to coat one side of the glass with liquid sugar. Dip that side into the shredded coconut to garnish.

4  Assemble the Mocktail: Fill the glass with ice cubes and brew over them the over-ice coffee with your Gaggia machine. Then pour the banana milkshake into the glass, followed by the whipped coffee cream on top. 
​
5  Garnish: Top with banana chips and a sprinkle of shredded coconut or coconut flakes.

An inspiring figure in the world of coffee, a cherished friend, and a true gentleman.
We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of Rob, lovingly known by many as "Machine Guru Rob". A name that echoed with respect and admiration throughout the coffee world.

Rob’s journey in the industry began with a long and dedicated tenure at Whittard of Chelsea, where he became a trusted and familiar presence. His depth of knowledge, quiet confidence, and unrelenting passion for coffee machines made him a guiding figure to many—customers and colleagues alike.

Never one to rest on his laurels, Rob went on to co-found, with his wife Alison, Rosie and Java in Richmond-upon-Thames—a delightful boutique where his love for fine coffee and tea blossomed into a community hub. There, with his characteristic warmth and sincerity, he built lasting connections with countless visitors who left not only with the perfect brew, but with the sense they’d just had a chat with an old friend.

Even in recent years, as he faced illness with quiet courage and grace, Rob remained as committed as ever to his craft. His trusty Gaggia Classic machine never gathered dust—he used it with the same joy and attention he always had. A true coffee enthusiast to the very end.

But beyond his knowledge and professionalism, it was Rob’s kindness, humility, and deep love for his family that touched us most. He was a man who gave generously of his time, always willing to share a tip, repair a beloved machine, or simply enjoy a moment over a perfectly brewed espresso.

He leaves behind not only a legacy of excellence in coffee and customer service, but also the warmth of every smile he shared and every cup he lovingly crafted.

Rob, your presence will be greatly missed—but your spirit will linger in every steam of a Gaggia, every aroma of a freshly brewed cup, and every person you inspired.

Rest peacefully, Rob. You brewed a beautiful life.
​
PS: One of the photographs displayed at the funeral, among family photographs was a picture of Rob with his beloved Gaggia Classic and grinder - a lobster red model, which happened to match Rob's orange trousers!

Good Food says Gaggia Classic is the best manual expresso machine in 2025
 
Gaggia coffee machines have been very highly rated after being reviewed by three national magazines.

Good Food, Good Housekeeping and Tech Radar all love Gaggias.

Good Food rated the Gaggia Classic espresso machine as the Best Manual Expresso Machine in 2025, rating it 5 out of 5.

They say it’s easy to use with an efficient steam wand, a good tamper and coffee scoop and love its professional grade accessories and specifications.

The review adds: “Designed and made in Italy, the Gaggia Classic is pitched as a state-of-the-art coffee machine for the home – a statement we don’t disagree with.

“Much of this is due to the impressive functionality hidden behind its stainless steel body, such as the solenoid valve which is responsible for controlling water temperature inside the filter holder, but you can also feel it in the parts for manually making coffee.

“The chromed brass group and filter holder are the same size, weight and style of those used with professional commercial machines, designed to control the heat during brewing for optimal extraction.

“There’s space to store and warm five espresso cups on the top. Even with its state-of-the art style, this is still one easy-to-use machine.”

Tech Radar says the Gaggia Magenta Plus is the best bean-to-cup coffee machine in 2025 for budding baristas.

The magazine’s reviewers say it’s simple to use, drinks can be customised, it gives the user control over milk steaming and produces smooth coffee with a thick crema.

The review states: “The Gaggia Magenta Plus is an excellent bean-to-cup coffee machine for those who want more input into the finished drink. It’ll still take care of grinding fresh coffee beans and pouring coffee. This machine delivers four types of coffee in 30 seconds flat.

“We were impressed with the espresso’s robust crema and rich flavour on the test. We also liked that the drinks can be customised regarding strength, aroma, drink size and temperature.

“For milky drinks you’ll need to become familiar with the steam wand and master the correct technique for texturising milk but it’s not too tricky once you get the hang of it.
“This sleek black machine looks great on your counter and it’s more affordable than most bean-to-cup machines.”

Good Housekeeping also highly rates the Gaggia Magenta Plus, saying its review team rigorously reviews each coffee machine, measuring their performance against its detailed protocols so readers can shop with confidence.

They state: “We’ve been testing products at the Good Housekeeping Institute for 100 years so we know quality when we see it.”

The 2025 review of the Gaggia Magenta Plus adds: “With an innovative, professional-style steam wand this machine is a standout if you love milky coffees and want more control than most offer. It reaches a range of temperatures quickly and will help you whip up any style of drink in a jiffy.
​
“It’s a thoughtfully designed machine that comes with clear instructions and an intuitive digital interface and controls. It’s compact, efficient and you can also adjust the settings to suit your taste.”

Concert starring some of Huddersfield’s well-known musicians to be broadcast live worldwide thanks to Gaggia UK

A major charity concert featuring some of the top names in Huddersfield music will be livestreamed worldwide and sponsored by Gaggia UK.

The event at Lindley Methodist Church on Saturday, May 17, will by compered by well-known Huddersfield music leader and singer Thom Meredith and feature Marsh Ladies Choir, Gledholt Male Voice Choir, deaf musician Paul Whittaker, OBE and his amazing Musical Hands Singing Choir.

It will be shown live on Zoom so anyone can watch it anywhere in the world.

It’s been organised by church member Raj Beadle, who has been managing director for Gaggia UK and Ireland’s domestic operations for 30 years.

The company has sponsored the concert which it does every year as part of its vital community and charity work.

Lindley Methodist Church has supported an African charity helping young children for many years and all the money raised by the concert will be going to this charity.

It’s the Riziki Children’s Organisation based in Nakuru, Kenya, which supports children, often orphans, from dire poverty and then helps them through their schooling right through to higher education, including universities.

Raj first got the idea for live streaming events during the pandemic when he discovered Zoom.

He said: “People couldn’t come to our showroom any more so we, like so many other people worldwide, suddenly discovered Zoom on the internet which we used to show our coffee machines and now our engineers give advice to customers on Zoom if they ever have a problem with their machines.

“But it also got me thinking and I realised it would be great to use Zoom to take our fundraising to a wider audience and also showcase the great music that comes from Huddersfield to the world at large.”

People will be asked to pay £10 to watch the concert on Zoom with all the money going to the charity.

If people would prefer to help their own charities they can do that too. They can livestream the concert for £20 to two or more people but can also charge anyone else who attends their venue to raise money for their own charity.

The 40-strong Gledholt Male Voice Choir has been singing in Huddersfield for 75 years and has a wide repertoire which includes songs from popular musicals and operas through to traditional Welsh hymns. 

Marsh Ladies Choir also has around 40 singers and has been going for 65 years with a mix of musical styles from classical and folk to swing, jazz and songs from the shows.

Musician Paul Whittaker has been deaf all his life. A pianist and organist, he has a music degree from Wadham College, Oxford, and for 27 years ran a charity helping deaf people access music. He was awarded an OBE for services to music in 2007.

His Musical Hands Signing Choir has deaf and hearing members who both sing and use sign language at the same time.

Thom Meredith, who has a reputation as a fine baritone soloist, will be both the compere and soloist at the concert.

In 2000 Thom formed and conducted the Kirklees Youth Symphony Orchestra which is now called Musica Youth Orchestra.

Thom has been Colne Valley Male Voice Choir’s musical director since 1989, is musical director for the Yorkshire Philharmonic Choir and, as a freelance musician, is now regularly in demand to adjudicate and lead vocal workshops, singing days and choral courses nationwide.

The concert starts at 2.30pm on Saturday, May 17, and to buy tickets go to Gala Concert - GAGGIA UNITED KINGDOM

​The capacity for the church is 200 and tickets are £10.

The new Gaggia Classic GT is here … and coffee experts and coffee lovers are raving about it.

This is the first time Gaggia has included two boilers in its domestic coffee machines, instantly putting it at the top of the prosumer pecking order.

The dual boiler – one is brass and the other stainless steel just for steam and hot water - means you can be making your coffee and frothing your milk or dispensing hot water at the same time with the latest PIDs to control your water temperature to within just 1°C … that’s literally fine-tuning it to the nth degree.

By the way, if you want to know what PID stands for on coffee machines it’s Proportional Integral Derivative (of course) which means the water temperature is constantly monitoring the small adjustments made to keep it at the set temperature. 

The Classic GT also has a fancy programmable digital display screen and even has its own dial to show the brew pressure. The stainless steel wand means you can let your latte art run riot.

This machine heats up really quickly to get you brew-ready in just five minutes, full steam power in seven and it takes just 20 seconds to heat 5oz of milk to 140°F.

It has automatic and manual pre-infusion and there is room on the warming plate for six expresso cups so, well, why not have a select coffee party to celebrate getting one.

The Classic GT even has a hot water dispenser for teas, herbal infusions or American coffees.

The machine has five toggle switches to control the main power, manual pre-infusion, brewing, hot water and steam and the style flows through even to the tamper which comes complete with a black wooden handle complete with the Gaggia logo. 

You can preset the volume dispensed for your expresso so once you’ve perfected it, set the dial and it’ll be exactly the same every time.

It also has a timer so the coffee machine will be all ready for you when you get up in the morning.

Here at Gaggia we can fully demonstrate the machine to you live if you contact us on Zoom at https://www.gaggiadirect.com/meet-us-live.html.

Alternatively, coffee bloggers have been giving the machine thorough test runs, showing you all the Classic’s amazing features.

A great British one is Coffee Kev which you can watch on  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQLgSfOxpjc&t=355s and he’s also written an incredibly in-depth review too at https://coffeeblog.co.uk/gaggia-classic-gt-dual-boiler-review

While from the USA we have Wholelattelove which you can watch at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eTlnWctCTA&t=10s or read at https://www.wholelattelove.com/products/gaggia-classic-gt

Wholelattelove says: “Despite being one of the easiest-to-use prosumers out there, the Gaggia GT delivers precision, power and features enough to satisfy even hardcore espresso enthusiasts.

“The Gaggia Classic GT offers a unique feature set with the brand’s legendary build quality and a price point that simply can’t be beat. The precise PID-regulated boilers, low-flow pre-infusion, and intuitive display make producing cafe-quality beverages on the GT easier than on just about any other prosumer out there.”

One customer, Mark W from Carlisle, who has already got his machine from Gaggia UK says: “This Gaggia GT machine is everything it claims to be and so much more. You can use this machine to consistently pull espresso after espresso that is rich, full bodied and perfectly extracted. The machine is easy and intuitive to use and easy to clean. The Gaggia GT provides coffee that would tax the abilities of many professional machines.”
So why brand it the Classic GT?

Well, the GT tag on cars is well-known with these vehicles having extra style and power … just like the Gaggia Classic GT. It even has a ‘go faster’ red stripe running along the bottom of the machine.

The GT marque originates from Italy and stands for gran turismo (grand touring) to bridge a sports car with a luxury one so it should have a big engine, a comfortable ride, a luxurious interior and elegant bodywork but be able to handle like a sports car when needed.

So you can see why the technology, design and performance on the new Gaggia Classic GT are all so outstanding, taking the art of coffee-making to the next level of luxury.
The new Gaggia Classic GT delivers exactly what it promises … performance with panache and all for £1,699.
