The Gaggia Classic is the oldest continuously available espresso machine, specifically designed for the home market. That's not to say it hasn't undergone any changes over the years. Its sleek design and stainless steel body make it look the part even in the most contemporary of kitchens.

Of course the Gaggia Classic is more than just looks, the internals have also kept pace with technology. The grouphead and portafilter are made from brass, for better heat retention. It is also fitted with a solenoid valve, to stop the portafilter dripping after the pump has been turned off; and an expansion valve, which regulates the amount of pressure produced by the pump.

Ground Coffee & Coffee Pods

The Gaggia Classic can be used with either ground coffee or E.S.E. coffee pods. It comes with two pressurised "crema perfetta" filter baskets, one single which doubles as an E.S.E. basket, and a double. Pressurised baskets put the espresso beverage under additional pressure after coming into contact with the coffee to guarantee a crema.

As we at Galla Coffee aren't big fans of pressurised baskets - they produce a less intense espresso that's missing some delicate flavours - we have added two standard filter baskets for free. So you can experiment for yourself and see which set of baskets you prefer.

Chrome Plated Brass Grouphead and Portafilter: The Gaggia Classic uses commercial grade chrome plated brass for the grouphead and portafilter to ensure even heating and to improve heat retention. The portafilter itself is one of the heaviest on the market, weighing in at nearly 500g! It's 58mm in diameter, like most commercial machines, to allow for a more even extraction from the ground coffee.

Solenoid Valve: This is a special valve which removes excess pressure above the portafilter immediately after the espresso is brewed. This has two advantages: firstly it stops the portafilter from dripping once you switch off the pump; secondly it prevents a "portafilter sneeze", where this excess pressure can cause hot, wet grounds to spray everywhere, should you remove the portafilter too soon after brewing.

Panarello Steamer Attachment: Panarello steamer attachment rotates for easy access to froth milk in seconds. It also delivers hot water for tea and other hot drinks.
