Seems like a decent deal but like another poster mentioned, the gaggia classic Evo pro had boiler coating that flaked off. Google boilergate and try to find the affected models so you can make sure this isn't one of them

I love it! It really feels like there are an abundance of features on it. Steaming is good and powerful, nothing like a commercial machine of course, but about 20 seconds for about 8 oz of milk. Pulls good shots, I enjoy the pre infusion and the option to set the temps of my boilers. The "schedule s

There is one e24, which is simply a Gaggia Classic pro with a brass boiler. Skip the evo. It’s fine, but you’ll have to replace the boiler with the brass one which is $160. Then you’ll basically have an e24. You might as well get the e24, or the 2019 Gaggia Classic if it’s cheaper. For the evo, they
