Classic Pro

Hi All First time poster, long time lurker… I’ve been overhauling a neglected 2019 Gaggia classic Pro which has sat for a while. It was my first coffee machine that pulled me down the rabbit hole some 7 years ago… went on to a Quick Mill Pippa and then onto my current daily driver, a Rocket Appartam

used gaggia classic pro is prob the best bang for buck imo. built like a tank, easy to mod later if u get obsessed, and holds resale value. paired with a decent grinder it’ll easily give you real espresso without spending breville dual boiler money. for something simpler, the breville bambino or bam

This is what my husband bought to help himself through residency. We landed with a gaggia classic pro and it’s still going almost 10 years later. We’ve saved a lot of money on lattes haha. A bit of a learning curve but a fun hobby in a way.

However, even with all the upgrades, it’s still a single boiler machine. That means you can’t brew and steam at the same time, and you’ll n

GCP (gaggia classic pro) is exactly $500 before tax + shipping. Wonderful machine that you can get a ton out of if you treat it well. Was my first “real” espresso machine, absolute workhorse for many years before I upgraded. I’m sure you’ll get the usual “grinder is more important” comments which ar

I've owned a AUD$450 machine then a AUD$3k machine and sold both and now have a Gaggia Classic Pro. As a goldilocks solution it's wicked!! It's a machine you can work on which counts for a lot, save HEAPS $$$ for servicing. You can trick it to really improve it beyond standard too. I already had a R

I have a Gaggia Classic with Gaggimate, the non pro version (IE no pressure profiling). It solves the annoying little problems that I had with my GCP before the change. You get consistent temperature, pre infusion, great steam pressure and if you have Bluetooth scales it stops at your target weight
