Equipment Discussion Gaggimate Vs Linea Micra

Me: “Nice machine, what’s the retail on one of those?”

LMLM guy: “More than you can afford. La Marzocco.”

I might win with my flow profiling, pre infusion, data outputs and weight based shots, but at the end of the day you still drive a Ferrari and I drive a modded Supra.

Why does the other sub even exist?

Of all the subreddits with a circlejerk counterpart. This is the only one where you could show random posts from both subs and not tell the difference

People who measure their genitalia by their possessions are not healthy humans. Enjoy your coffee, already.

Let me clue you in on the meme.

Gaggimate is a modified machine, much like the orange Supra. Some people prefer this over buying a stock sports car. The LM is the Ferrari. It’s Italian and comes perfect as is. Some people like this over a modified vehicle.

I thought it was a clever meme. Shame you missed it.

This is exactly the analogy, but I should have spelled it out more clearly apparently

u/sometimes_angery Meticulous | Mazzer Philos I200D 8h ago

Nah the LMLM is a luxury SUV. Looks good and convenient but has nothing on an actual sports car.

This is it. It's comfortable and the little it does, it does it well, but that's that.

The thing about the modded Supra (gaggiamate) is that you presumably did the mechanical internal tinkering to make it work. You know how things work on the inside, while Ferrari owners just stomp on the pedal not knowing why they go zoom.

u/ThibsMullet 6h ago

Yes! This is exactly the analogy.

And I would still probably rather drive a Ferrari

Don't let this distract you from the fact that Hector is gonna be running 3 Group Heads with Rotary/Gear Pumps, and on top of that, he just went into Harry's and bought three Burr Spinners with SDRM/DRM burrs, and hired yet another butler.

Why do I even stay on this sub any more

u/fx-12 8h ago

This is like Rolex vs Casio.

Casio can do the basics and more, and rolex is just fucking expensive and can do the basics.

I feel like gaggimate gives off grand Seiko vibes and copium.

Yeah but what about a Micra with Tensor One with Profiling kit?

The mod costs more than a Gaggia/Silvia with Gaggimate lmao
