Gaggia Classic - Espresso Indulgence At An Affordable Price

By Richard Mason


Coffee has become an indispensable part of everyday living. No matter how slow the day or how hectic the rat race is, a freshly brewed cup never fails to reinvigorate the senses. And for the harried executive, one of life's little pleasures is grabbing a gourmet brew instead of the normal office roast. Thanks to the Gaggia Classic Espresso Machine, such delights can now be had at home, without going down to the local Starbucks or Seattle's Best.

The Gaggia Classic is one of the first machines rolled out by the company for home use. As a venerable product, the model has undergone numerous iterations through the years to remain up-to-date. Today's latest version combines the quality and proven dependability of the Gaggia Classic nameplate with the latest in coffee machine technology.

The Gaggia Classic has been updated with an all new attractive housing, made of brushed stainless steel. This replaces the old look which used carbon steel plated with nickel. The new housing is treated with anti-flaking and rust resistance finish, ensuring years of continuous operation.

The machine stands approximately 14.2 inches high, with a base of about 8 inches. It can brew two cups of espresso simultaneously, and comes with a milk-frothing wand for producing latte and cappuccino. The Pannarello Frother wand can produce froth pretty quickly, while maintaining a smooth and creamy quality to make that cup more special.

Another great feature of this coffee machine is that it has a dual-purpose coffee basket that allows the espresso to be brewed from ground coffee or the ever-popular coffee pods. It is one of few machines out there that have this dual-purpose feature. Coffee pod machines are growing extremely popular, and with this Gaggia machine, you don't have to have two separate machines for your favorite pod coffee varieties and your favorite ground coffee. It really is two machines in one.

This Gaggia machine runs on 1425 watts of electricity and has a strong electric pump operating at 55 watts. The rest of the 1425 watts is directed at the boiler system of this machine. This means that water is heated fast and a cup of espresso can be quickly made, without the wait of many espresso machines.

Despite all these features, the Gaggia Classic carries a price tag of just $355, and the package even includes two reusable baskets, a coffee tamper, and a coffee scoop.

Gaggia also included a practical CD with 14 videos showing how to use the system. And as a final testament of the unit's quality, the company offers a two-year warranty with every purchase.
