About Gaggia
With humble beginnings as a cafe owner in Milan, Achille Gaggia's ingenuity and passion for coffee inspired him to invent a new way to brew espresso without the use of steam. That vision led to the creation of the Lampo device which produced the characteristic crema which has since become the hallmark of quality espresso.

We LOVE it It makes a perfect espresso with a lot of the creamer which is the aerated froth on the top which is everything on the cup of coffee!
This one has the gaggia solenoid valve, which Allows water to flow between The Brew Head and the Drain Port, blocking off the Boiler outlet. Allow water to flow between the Boiler to the Brew Head, closing off the Drain Port.
While this machine is listed as “entry level”, its commercial quality features go way beyond entry level.
As with any espresso machine, there is a learning curve to this one as well. However, with no real automated functions, pulling a great shot and frothing milk are mostly a function of your experience and individual technique.
What I love about this one:
1. It looks good! The design and build quality are excellent.
2. The 58mm commercial portafilter is industry standard.
3. The commercial grade steam spout comes with a two-opening nozzle for a great vortex .
4. Parts and accessories are readily available from the manufacturer and many after-market suppliers.
5. No automated functions. You never have to second guess this machine.
6. It does actually have one automated feature… it depressurizes the brew head after each shot. That’s a huge bonus.
7. It’s easy to dial in a perfect espresso shot.
8. It does not have a built-in coffee bean grinder. That gives you your choice of grinders and does not affect your machine if the grinder fails.
9. The Gaggia may be the best machine for the money, bar none.
A few reviews point out that the space between the bottom of the portafilter and the top of the drip tray is too short. There are two solutions for that: pull your shots into espresso cups or buy a shorter aftermarket drip tray.
I upgraded to this from a true entry level machine—best decision ever.
NEW INFO: Since the original posting, I swapped out the 12 Bar pressure spring for a 9 Bar. It's a simple 10-minute job that costs less than $10 and makes all the difference in the world—better brewing pressure, better shots. . .definitely a recommended change that makes a great machine even better.
I've worked as a barista in my early twenties. I know my way around coffee; particularly when selecting beans; the roast; how to get the best grind using the best grinder; how to achieve the best cup of coffee using almost every conceivable method and device.
These days I am prefer a delicious, smooth-bodied, crema-rich cappuccino when I wake up. Unfortunately, health concerns have limited me to just one cup of coffee a day, so I make damn sure I enjoy the best tasting espresso or cappuccino every morning.
Ordinarily, I would have been using my time-tested and still reliable 1968 La Pavoni espresso machine. This machine took me over a year to master and once I had it down, no other espresso machine even came close to pulling the finest tasting espresso or caps you could drink.
But the La Pavoni is a bulky and intensively time-consuming machine to use; especially in the morning once you're out of bed and your brain still isn't operating at 100% until AFTER you've enjoyed your coffee.
I needed to find and purchase an interim type of counter-type of espresso machine. Oh, I will still use my La Pavoni for that special occasion, because there still isn't, in my opinion, a machine that can produce a finer tasting espresso or cappuccino than the La Pavoni.
After about a month of intensive research, which included reading and evaluating every review and recommendation I could find, the Gaggia Classic Pro is the model that kept coming up as the best in its price range EVERYWHERE.
And then I started looking at the Youtube videos. Almost to a video, it was the Gaggia Classic Pro that was heralded as THE espresso machine to buy in its price range. And another surprise: the Gaggia Classic Pro had been receiving this endorsement going back decades.
Another big plus: Gaggia is an Italian company that has the inside scoop on coffee...that's all they do. They make coffee machines.
I decided to purchase the Gaggia Classic Pro...and man oh man was this ever the right choice.
It did take a couple of tries, even from this seasoned user, to appreciate all the ins and outs of this machine. The machine is far more sophisticated than it looks.
But can it produce a satisfying espresso or cappuccino? And can it steam or foam up milk like no one's business (providing you know what you're doing and you don't scald your milk...and especially if you have a talent making espresso art)?
I only use bottled water so as not to build up sediment inside the machine. I like to keep my equipment cleaned, well maintained, and operational at all times. You need to understand how this machine is put together in order to master all of its secrets.
My suggestion is: check out the HUGE volume of Gaggia Classic Pro Youtube videos online. They will teach you everything you need to know in order to get your Gaggia to produce the type of enjoyable espresso or cappuccino you like. But you do need to understand how the boiler and the rest of the components work together if you really want to achieve the finest results from the Gaggia Classic Pro.
I have paired my Gaggia Classic Pro with the latest model of Baratza's burr grinders in order to affect the perfect grind of the whole beans I use. And, by the way, I grind only the amount of beans I need for that morning's coffee. The balance of my 1Lb once a month purchase of whole beans are kept in a sealed, but valved container in order to release the CO^2 that coffee beans give off.
I set the burrs to the finest possible grind setting. I have found with the Gaggia Classic Pro, one of the secrets is to NOT tamp down the coffee to the point of a severe compression. Make sure the amount of coffee is evenly dispersed and then lightly tamp it down. Don't forget to run hot water through the group head in order to preheat it.
I also recommend purchasing an inexpensive hand held timer. You'll need it. You'll understand why after viewing many of the Youtube videos featured about the Gaggia Classic Pro.
When you're ready to make your cup, place a preheated cup under the group head and let 'er rip. When the light goes off, press the OFF button. Then follow the Youtube recommendations for using the steam wand, otherwise you will run out of pressure before you obtain the type of steamed or foamed milk you need.
And make sure you clean off the steam wand IMMEDIATELY after use and then let a blast of steam go through the wand to unclog it on its inside. And always use bottled water. NEVER use tap water with a Gaggia Classic Pro.
If you do, your machine will die an early death in a couple of years instead of lasting a couple of decades.
I recommend the Gaggia Classic Pro with a full five star rating. It is, without any doubt, the finest espresso machine anyone can purchase in this price range. It offers superior workmanship made from superior components and materials; it is a remarkably well-engineered device; it is an attractive model to place on your kitchen counter; it is easy to clean and maintain; and it will produce for you the tastiest espressos and cappuccinos at home for you to enjoy.

A parte entre porta filtro e xícara é pequena, e ruim de usar uma balança, mas tem opções de bandeja menores por aí. Essa máquina vaporiza muito bem e rapidamente.
De ruim mesmo são os acessórios, é broxante ver uma máquina desse valor entregando um tamper tão vagabundo, e apenas um porta filtro.
A tomada é mais grossa, vai precisar de uma tomada 20A
