The Home Baristas

Helpful advice and support throughout matched by a great service - upgrading and servicing my Gaggia. It will take a little while to learn to use my enhanced Gaggia but it’s already producing far better tasting coffee than ever before. If only there were more businesses as good as The Home Baristas.

Highly recommend this business if in the market for a new machine and advice. Anthony has been fantastic to deal with, very helpful, patient and supportive. I purchased a modified Gaggia Classic Pro and Eureka grinder. I haven’t stopped asking questions and looking for help and advice, nothing has been a problem for him. Thank you again for all of your support and your top notch service!Steven

Brought a DF64 grinder from these guys and it was an excellent experience. Without any extra charge they calibrated the burrs for me and posted it very quickly. These should be your go to for all your coffee equipment needs. Thank you

Purchased my Gaggia Classic from Anthony back in August 21' and have no regrets. Machine is a 2005 model and was in mint condition when it arrived. It gets so much use and hasn't missed a beat and makes great coffee, only problem is it has made me very judgmental of what I get from a cafe when I'm out and about. I was a complete coffee novice but the step by step guide I received from Anthony made it very easy to pick it up.Good service and good product !!

Anthony recently configured our Gaggia classic; from the point of sale, pre-delivery and then post delivery we were given great updates on what to expect and when the machine was quickly dispatched we were kept informed. He remained an exceptional point of contact regarding the user experience of the machine and his YouTube library has been a useful ongoing resource. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services for modified gaggia machines to anyone and when we venture into grinders and other accessories I'll be checking him out first.Thanks again Anthony.

I'd had my Gaggia Classic since around 2006. It made good coffee, but not great coffee. I discovered the Home Baristas and sent my machine off to them to get a PID, dimmer, new steaming wand and a service. I received my modified machine back earlier this week. Since then I've been making the kind of coffee I never expected to make in the home! A special thank you to Anthony who patiently bore with me as I made some silly mistakes when I first started using it - a fine grind is required to get the best out of your coffee machine. And if the pressure dial isn't moving on top it's probably a sign you haven't ground fine enough. Anthony's YouTube videos are also an excellent resource for learning how to use your machine. I have nothing but praise and gratitude.

Excellent personal service from Anthony! We purchased a Gaggia Classic Pro for collection in person. It arrived quickly, and Anthony gave a very helpful demo of various aspects of the machine. We were quite surprised what a difference the extraction rate made to the taste, and look forward to experimenting for ourselves to get the best out of our new machine. Highly recommended!

Great companyServiced my Gaggia Classic that was on its last legs and now as good as new.Well better than new as they also installed a PID at the same time.They arranged collection and delivery of the machine via their courier so the whole process was completely painless.Highly recommended

Recently bought a Italian 2007 Gaggia Classic from Anthony and really pleased with the machine and his service. Its in fantastic condition inside and out. There were plenty of images to see in a disassembled state to see condition of the boiler, group and internals which look immaculate. Shipping was super fast and thankfully very well packed so arrived without any issues. Communication was great and Anthony was very generous with his time and advice, and also understanding of my budget. Many thanks!

Anthony recently serviced my Gaggia Classic (2006) that I purchased from FB marketplace. Prior to this service, it was quite tricky to get a quality shot from the machine due to the waterflow etc. Since getting it back from Anthony, I've been able to output 32g in approx 26-27seconds which is amazing.Anthony is also a top bloke, really friendly and approachable for any questions regarding making coffee.
