Can I use it with pods?

I’ve heard that there is an adaptor you can get?

Is it compatible with older models?

Yes you can – new ones come with the insert. If you want me to mail you mine (I never use it) email your addy.

yes, you need the cafitaly ones and adaptor. As a previous user and a Classic owner, frankly they are rubbish – buy a nesspresso machine instead! Or continue to use ground coffee as I still do.

I’ve had nespresso. Not a patch on the quality my Classic produces. I can only assume that it was faulty, or you didn’t read the instructions.

OP – the insert is in the post to you today.

We found that the springs on the basket failed, the machine leaked and sprayed everywhere. This was on one of the cheaper Gaggias. I just use my Classic as is.

I have a Classic and it’s great for me.

Illy pods are good.
