Gaggia Classic Pro, Espresso Machine, Home Espresso Machine, Gaggia Espresso, Italian Espresso

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.

Gaggia Classic Evo Pro

Home Espresso Machine

The Gaggia Classic Evo Pro improves on one of the best entry-level semi-automatic espresso machines available. Now offering 9-Bar espresso extraction, the Evo Pro is truly a best value machine. Texture milk for a velvety microfoam perfect for latte art with the commercial steam wand and brew expert espresso with the commercial-style 58 mm portafilter. Internally the Classic Evo Pro has been updated to resist scale buildup for improved longevity.

    I've been enjoying coffee for almost sixty years.

    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.

    I've had this machine for a few weeks now. The reason I chose this was because I was looking for a machine that would last me awhile, rather than breaking down every few months. With research, many say this machine with consistent maintenance will last me a few years.
    Now, first impressions? I'm a literal amateur at coffee. I started off from a Keurig, to Nespresso, to Mr. Coffee (big regret) to now this. So yes, the learning curve is HUGE. In the beginning pulling the portafilter across takes MANPOWER. Had to hug the machine to lock it in, but recently it's gotten easier to pull so maybe it's just about "breaking it in". This Gaggia pulls the best espressos I've ever had. With the Mr. Coffee Coffeehouse machine, I thought my beans were the problem as it was constantly bitter even after dousing cream and sugar but it turns out it was the machine itself. With this Gaggia, I drink the same beans WITHOUT sugar which for me is a big deal.

    The steaming took a few tries to get the hang of but I'm getting there. I had to watch a couple videos on how to use the machine properly as the instructions aren't entirely clear.

    UPDATE: 3 months later. Noticed a little slow extraction issue and decided it was time to decalcify, but other than that, no issues.

    My sentiment about this machine has remained the same. For its price point it does a great job pulling a shot of espresso. If you're a newbie like i was (and still am!) with this machine you'll need to take time to learn the nuances otherwise you WILL get frustrated with sour shots. Here's what I've noticed and recommend if you want to stick with this machine

    1. This machine is "buildable". It's one of the attractive features where you have total control over the machine, and can add/remove things such as a better IMS shower screen, a PID, a lower OPV bar spring, etc. These things in total will cost you an additional $150 though. I did it because this machine is known to last so I personally think it's worth the investment. But if you don't feel comfortable buying a machine and spending more for additional parts maybe this one isn't for you.
    2. Mentioned it in #1 BUT GET A PID!!! i hated temp surfing to find the optimal brew temperature, and a MrShades PID helped regulate not only brew temp, but the steam as well. No more losing steam power in the middle of steaming! Fair warning, if you're not tech savvy, you may end up taking a few hours to install the PID. It was a little confusing and I ended up taking about 2 days (6hours total) to install it.
    3. For those that complain the shots are too slow, what's your definition of slow? There's so many factors you need to consider here when it comes to extraction time; grind size and consistency, tamping, beans, etc. A double shot should come out at about 20-30sec. Any slower/faster more often results in bitter coffee. Again if you're new to espresso please read some forums it will tremendously help you get better shots. There are subreddits and Facebook pages that have a Gaggia Classic community filled with helpful people.

    Overall, for the value of this machine, it's the best you're going to get. Obviously if you spend $1000, you'll get a thousand dollar quality machine. You're spending less than $500, you'll get $500 quality machine. The GCP is a very good product for $450 considering other brands at the same price range. I'll update this every now and then because I want to make sure this is a long-term commitment.

    Update: Over a year later 3/4/2022. Machine is still going strong! Regular maintenance is a must, but overall, extremely happy with my machine. Only downside is now that when I make coffee for guests it can be tedious to wait for the boiler to heat up/cool down, for several cups, but that's all just party tricks.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best investment for coffee drink lover
    Reviewed in Canada on March 9, 2021

    Best investment as a coffee lover. No need to pay 3 to 5 bucks for espressos or lattes. Definitely there is some learning curve , one needs to get the secret of making an espresso - warm up ,right grind size , proper levelling and tamp , pull the shot. I wasted good 20 dollars worth of coffee and an hour of youtubing until I got to pulling perfect shots everytime ( I never owned espresso machine before ).

    I dont own a grinder or anything , just play with grind size , too small coffee grind and light flow and too coarse too fast coffee flow.

    Machine is well built , sturdy and powerful. No issues making coffee for 2 to 3 people. Same taste as 3k machine.

    You can even make nice hot chocolate with steaming wand.

    Be careful not to lose the jet swirl tiny pin used for pressurized baskets , If lost can be purchased online easily.

    Highly recommend. Shipping experience was good and timely. No complaints.

    Muito bonita e tem um corpo bem sólido e que passa segurança. Ela aquece rápido e tem uma boa capacidade de água. Aquece bem as xícaras mas não cabem muitas.
    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.

    Llego antes de tiempo, estoy asombrada con la calidad que tiene esta pequeña máquina, cabe mencionar que tengo una máquina dos grupos para mi cafetería, pero necesitaba algo pequeño para mi hogar, o para alguna reunión familiar que pudiera transportarla.
    Llevo unos días usándola y algo que me gustaría comentar es que si se debe de tener un conocimiento previo a una máquina de espresso o bien tomar una clases para darle un mejor uso. A pesar de que la presión en la lanceta no es tan fuerte, es cuestión de practica para cremar correctamente la leche.
    Otra cosa que me gustaría comentar, es que me hubiera gustado que el tamper fuera de mejor calidad, ya que es de plástico y no abarca todo el diámetro, se puede solucionar comprando uno de mejor calidad.

    En resumen, estoy satisfecha con mi Gaggia, seguiré aprendiendo de ella y si eres un aficionado al café como yo, te recomiendo invertir en un buen molino para sacarle provecho a esta belleza.
