Very nice guys, helpful, respond quickly and generally quite pleasant to interact with. Most items are perhaps a bit overpriced but definitely make the Gaggia a much better machine. Avoid the overpric... Ver más

My heavily modded Gaggia was is need of some TLC. Everything I needed was available and delivered very promptly and the transformation is amazing: New brass boiler - more temperature stability... Ver más
Shades are fantastic! Great selection of parts for the Gaggia Classic. Fast delivery and always well packaged.

Due to the bizarre, restrictive and somewhat bullying approach adopted by TrustPilot in trying to force us to pay them thousands of dollars a year in order to simply display a link to this page on our website, as well as a summary of our review score - we have decided to NOT continue embracing or using this platform. Google Reviews and our our website reviews can be used instead. Shades of Coffee is a web based retail company selling niche products and solutions to home baristas and coffee enthusiasts globally. It's a small family business, based in Swindon, Wiltshire - in the United Kingdom and we specialise in the Gaggia Classic. We love to provide innovative products for the Gaggia Classic, and many of the products that we offer are unique to Shades of Coffee. Due to our very good and very specialist knowledge of our products and the Gaggia Classic machine that we specialise in, we mainly sell directly to customers globally - so that we can properly advise and support them throughout their coffee journey with a Classic.

The product corresponds to the description, but I was surprised by the customs duty, which was slightly less than the value of the product itself.

Great product (Gaggia E24 Classic LED lights), and the instructions and service were excellent.
The only issue was with the VAT charges + postal 'Admin fee for the VAT charges' shipping to Europe. Very unfortunate

Thank you
Mods for better espresso.
All the items ordered arrived on time and as expected. I received immediate responses to a couple of questions, Ade was very helpful, thanks. The instructions are very detailed, and I read through them a couple of times prior to the install. I also watched a few You Tube videos and my mods for PID, dimmer, and pressure gauge all worked first time.
I’ve had my Gaggia 5 years and the mods have definitely improved my espresso, lots more control. Recommended.
Everything Perfect
Ordered some addons for my Gaggia Classic and found everything to be perfect. Even with EU import fee (10€ on top of my 30€) the value was really good and I would order again.
Royal post was also blazing fast - estimated 1-3 week, letter came in 4 days
Very rude, condescending and called me an idiot.
I have ordered many times from this company - as you know IMS shower screens can be hit or miss at times (there's many reddit threads about this) - I explained why mine was faulty - got mansplained and patronised to - explained that I had many years experience and understood what to look out for - also let them know that the box it came in was completely broken - no apology for that - reply came back that essentially said he didn't trust me as he's never had this issue before (lol) and very unprofessionally accepted the return (clearly too much coffee keeping him up at night). I was asked for feedback from the automated service - I explained situation and said person was an idiot - they emailed back (passive aggressive much?) and passive aggressive to the end said "I'm sorry you feel like an idiot". Wow - stay away from them.

Exceptional company for the coffee enthusiast
I can't speak highly enough of Shades of Coffee. A niche British company with a clear passion for what it does. I have been a customer for several years and love the company's focus on coffee enthusiasts who like tinkering with their machines. The website advice and Q&A (which you should always read) are really helpful and not something you see very often. I was prompted to write this review because of a problem I had with my most recent purchase (almost certainly caused by me) and the communication and service to sort me out were exceptional. This is how you earn loyalty - other companies could learn a thing or two.
Another great transaction
Shipping was quick and all parts ordered were securely packaged. I was able to swap out my boiler and upgrade some gaskets along the way
Worth the price! Great support!
Bought the SuperSteam+, installation was super simple and had good documentation. I would highly recommend to anyone who is frustrated by the steam performance of their machine. I also ran into an issue where the settings reset themselves and was helped immediately upon reaching out getting it fixed in minutes! Amazing experience all around.
Everything i needed
Everything i needed exactly when I needed it (immediately of course!). So efficient and helpful! Thx!

I bought several items of Shades of Coffee (PID, LED light, Steam knob etc.) and all of them were flawless. Delivery was fast and everything was well packaged. When I had a problem with the PID (probably caused by me) I reached out to Shades of Coffee and they immediatly and successfully helped me. Maybe there are some slightly cheaper versions out there on the internet for some gaggia mods, but If you want aperfect product, delivery and professional customer service I would strongly advise you to shop with SoC.

Great company with many coffee related goodies. Very knowledgable too. Easy experience.
Amazing online experience !
Residing near Montréal (Québec), I'm always amazed at the speed at wich my orders are processed, shipped and received, mere days in most cases. Shades of coffee is second to none when it comes to pimping my Classic Pro, as parts are of the highest quality. Reassuring to know I can count on you guys for years to come !
Fantastic seller and company
Fantastic seller and company. Hero's of the Gaggia Classic!
Excellent range of coffee products
Website is very clear, coffee product range is excellent, checkout/payment/postage all jolly fine. I'm being very picky but despite asking for feedback on their products, and I did give some, no reply was ever received. And yet when I asked a question which could lead to a purchase I was answered within hours... Mmmmm

I've bought a few upgrades for my Gaggia over the years. All products have been excellent. And, after running in to an issue after several years with one item, the subsequent support was superb. Many thanks - would highly recommend to anyone.
