A Revolutionary Espresso ...
Gaggia Milano is one of the most iconic Italian brands, which revolutionized the way we brew espresso. Way back in 1938, Achille Gaggia, the founder of Gaggia Milano developed a system to control the coffee extraction process with high precision, no longer using steam. It has since become the hallmark of Quality Italian espresso, characterized by the ever-so-notable soft layer of marvelous “crema naturale”. Further, thanks to tireless effort towards development, this espresso culture spread in coffee bars around the world really quickly. At present, the company, in sync with its unique history and values, offers a wide range of automatic and traditional coffee machines for both commercial or home use. It combines state-of-the-art technology, sophisticated design, and professional details to satisfy the needs of all espresso lovers.
As its name suggests, the Gaggia Classic is one of the original home espresso machines. Gaggia was one of the first companies in the world to put their expertise in espresso to putting commercial-grade espresso equipment in the hands of a home barista. Gaggia produced their first home espresso machine in 1977 and has been the leader in the home espresso space ever since.
With many subtle improvements, the 100% Italian made Classic Pro doesn't change what it never needed to : it features the same rapid heating boiler, 3-way solenoid valve, and 58mm (industry-standard in cafes around the world) chrome-plated brass portafilter as before. Something that has changed is the professional (commercial-style) stainless steel steam wand, armed with a bigger brass boiler for a beefier milk-steam. This refined feature makes the Classic E24 punch well above its weight class, and is capable of producing rich, velvety milk foam, perfect for latte art.
More nuanced updates include the change from a single control panel to distinct and dedicated rocker switches for power, brew, and steam. The housing of the Gaggia Classic has also been refined. Indents in the frame make it easier to remove the water reservoir, while the drip tray has been streamlined with rounded edges that accentuate the contours of the machine. The decompression duct has also received a rubber grip for safer and easier removal. Internally, the brew boiler still features embedded heating elements and is ready to brew in an impressive 5 minutes. Switching to steam takes another sixty seconds, and a quick flush brings you right back to brew temperature. Brewing on the Classic E24 is even quieter than before thanks to improvements to the pump mounting that reduce noise while operating.
The Gaggia Classic E24 offers the entire home espresso experience. From real proper espresso to the creamy and delicious flat-whites, cappuccinos & lattes all in the comfort of your own home or office. (industry-standard in cafes around the world)
