In an attempt to make fine barista style espresso in the comfort of my own home, but on the usual shoestring budget, I bought a Gaggia Cubika espresso maker on ebay.
The seller, who has good feedback, says it's hardly used and indeed it does look to be in great condition.
However rather than seeping out creamy espresso it sort of pours out thin filter style coffee.
DH is going mad. He was against the idea from the off.
I'm using ordinary Lavazza espresso coffee grounds at the moment.
Any ideas about where I'm going wrong?
