Gaggia Classic Review

TECHNOLOGY

Gaggia Classic represents the Italian tradition of coffee machines, in this case with a model designed for the domestic market. Gaggia Classic is a single boiler coffee machine equipped with a 15 bar pump that can be used with the classic ground coffee or with the comfortable E.S.E. pods.

The tank is particularly large and can hold up to 2.1 liters of water. The coffee brewinggroup is made of chromed steel which favors a good thermal stabilization of freshly brewed coffee. The new Gaggia Classic model is supplied with a 58 mm professional filter holder with plastic spout.

DESIGN

The design of the Gaggia Classic machine is not particularly innovative. The body is made entirely of steel and looks very square and essential. The push-button panel is composed of three essential buttons that regulate its operation. The machine does not use excessive space inside the kitchen.

USE

With the Gaggia Classic you can prepare coffee (up to two at the same time), cappuccino (thanks to the professional plastic panarello) and deliver hot water for tea and other hot drinks. Go through the push-button panel on the front side, you can operate the machine (button on the left), activate the steam nozzle (central button) and activate the coffee supply (button on the right).

MAINTENANCE

The Gaggia Classic in the previous model was equipped with a solenoid valve that completely released the water pressure at the end of the dispensing allowing the drying of the coffee disc used as in the professional machines and the cleaning of the filters and the brewing group. Now the cleaning operations can be carried out with the purchase of a blind filter useful for the removal of residues and oils.
