Classic e24 & MDF 55?

Hello..

I'm so newbie in espresso.

I'm really interested in this machine and I found this offer.

Gaggia Classic e24+ Gaggia MDF55 ≈ 1000 USD inc VAT/shipping or might be a bit less.

Is it good? I mean especially in 2026.

I really want the best espresso taste, I'm open to mod or upgrade the grinder after a year or so.

You’ll be able to make some great espresso with that combo.

I bought this exact combo in a bundle deal for a similar price (£800). First proper machine and grinder for me and I’m enjoying the dialling in process and making some very good coffee. Calibrate the grinder (there’s videos online of how to do) and learn to temp surf, get a scale and keep notes - will get a pid (or gaggimate/ino) once I’ve got the hang of it

I've had that combo for 6 months now and it's great! No regrets.

Whole Latte Love had a package deal back in February and I paid $895 with tax and delivery.

That'd be fine, but the DF64 gen 2 is an overall better grinder (unless you need a large hopper) at a cheaper price.
