Gaggia Classic Pro
4.0Aikins Score•Gaggia
The verdict
The Gaggia Classic Pro delivers nuanced espresso with a 58mm portafilter at an affordable price, but its manual steam wand and basic accessories may deter beginners.
Read the full reviewWhat we love
- +Surprisingly complex, nuanced espresso shots for the price
- +Simple, approachable design with decades of popularity
- +Modding community allows upgrades (PID, steam wand)
Worth noting
- –Comes with a flimsy plastic tamper that should be replaced
- –Steam wand is weak and requires practice for good microfoam
- –No PID controller out of the box (temperature surfing needed)
