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 only truly 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. Here's to 50 years of Proper Espresso at Home.
With many subtle improvements, Gaggia arrived at an even further refined design that blends the timeless look of the Classic with modern touch and features. It boasts a display with capacitive buttons, direct access to functions and 3 backlit toggle switches for a guided and high-quality user experience.
The Classic Up's lead-free brass boiler combined with the programmable PID ensures precise brewing and steaming temperatures, ever-visible on the live display. Pre-infusion can be set at up to 3 different presets, or switched off altogether.
The Classic Up boasts a professional (commercial) stainless steel steam wand, now fully-rotational, armed with a bigger brass boiler for a beefier milk-steam. Velvety milk and microfoam for smarty smart latte art are all part of the deal here.
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. Just like the Classic E24, the Gaggia Classic Up is surprisingly quiet thanks to improvements to the pump mounting that reduce noise while operating.
Gaggia home espresso machines also have an enormous global community of Gaggia Lovers. From user tips and advice to mods and upgrades, there is a world of Gaggia to get involved in! Whether you want a simple easy to use machine or you are a coffee-curious home barista who wants to go down the rabbit hole of espresso-making, the Gaggia Classic Up is versatile enough to suit just about anyone from first-timer to advanced!
