Review: The BEST Espresso Machine in the PRICE RANGE - I've been enjoying coffee for almost sixty years. I've worked as a barista in my early twenties. I know my way around coffee; particularly when selecting beans; the roast; how to get the best grind using the best grinder; how to achieve the best cup of coffee using almost every conceivable method and device. These days I am prefer a delicious, smooth-bodied, crema-rich cappuccino when I wake up. Unfortunately, health concerns have limited me to just one cup of coffee a day, so I make damn sure I enjoy the best tasting espresso or cappuccino every morning. Ordinarily, I would have been using my time-tested and still reliable 1968 La Pavoni espresso machine. This machine took me over a year to master and once I had it down, no other espresso machine even came close to pulling the finest tasting espresso or caps you could drink. But the La Pavoni is a bulky and intensively time-consuming machine to use; especially in the morning once you're out of bed and your brain still isn't operating at 100% until AFTER you've enjoyed your coffee. I needed to find and purchase an interim type of counter-type of espresso machine. Oh, I will still use my La Pavoni for that special occasion, because there still isn't, in my opinion, a machine that can produce a finer tasting espresso or cappuccino than the La Pavoni. After about a month of intensive research, which included reading and evaluating every review and recommendation I could find, the Gaggia Classic Pro is the model that kept coming up as the best in its price range EVERYWHERE. And then I started looking at the Youtube videos. Almost to a video, it was the Gaggia Classic Pro that was heralded as THE espresso machine to buy in its price range. And another surprise: the Gaggia Classic Pro had been receiving this endorsement going back decades. Another big plus: Gaggia is an Italian company that has the inside scoop on coffee...that's all they do. They make coffee machines. I decided to purchase the Gaggia Classic Pro...and man oh man was this ever the right choice. It did take a couple of tries, even from this seasoned user, to appreciate all the ins and outs of this machine. The machine is far more sophisticated than it looks. But can it produce a satisfying espresso or cappuccino? And can it steam or foam up milk like no one's business (providing you know what you're doing and you don't scald your milk...and especially if you have a talent making espresso art)? I only use bottled water so as not to build up sediment inside the machine. I like to keep my equipment cleaned, well maintained, and operational at all times. You need to understand how this machine is put together in order to master all of its secrets. My suggestion is: check out the HUGE volume of Gaggia Classic Pro Youtube videos online. They will teach you everything you need to know in order to get your Gaggia to produce the type of enjoyable espresso or cappuccino you like. But you do need to understand how the boiler and the rest of the components work together if you really want to achieve the finest results from the Gaggia Classic Pro. I have paired my Gaggia Classic Pro with the latest model of Baratza's burr grinders in order to affect the perfect grind of the whole beans I use. And, by the way, I grind only the amount of beans I need for that morning's coffee. The balance of my 1Lb once a month purchase of whole beans are kept in a sealed, but valved container in order to release the CO^2 that coffee beans give off. I set the burrs to the finest possible grind setting. I have found with the Gaggia Classic Pro, one of the secrets is to NOT tamp down the coffee to the point of a severe compression. Make sure the amount of coffee is evenly dispersed and then lightly tamp it down. Don't forget to run hot water through the group head in order to preheat it. I also recommend purchasing an inexpensive hand held timer. You'll need it. You'll understand why after viewing many of the Youtube videos featured about the Gaggia Classic Pro. When you're ready to make your cup, place a preheated cup under the group head and let 'er rip. When the light goes off, press the OFF button. Then follow the Youtube recommendations for using the steam wand, otherwise you will run out of pressure before you obtain the type of steamed or foamed milk you need. And make sure you clean off the steam wand IMMEDIATELY after use and then let a blast of steam go through the wand to unclog it on its inside. And always use bottled water. NEVER use tap water with a Gaggia Classic Pro. If you do, your machine will die an early death in a couple of years instead of lasting a couple of decades. I recommend the Gaggia Classic Pro with a full five star rating. It is, without any doubt, the finest espresso machine anyone can purchase in this price range. It offers superior workmanship made from superior components and materials; it is a remarkably well-engineered device; it is an attractive model to place on your kitchen counter; it is easy to clean and maintain; and it will produce for you the tastiest espressos and cappuccinos at home for you to enjoy.
Review: I've had espresso machines my whole life and this is top notch. Love it - The first espresso machine I ever owned was the Starbucks barista that they sold in Starbucks stores years ago. That machine was similar to this in that it only brews coffee and steams milk, no grinding. The next one I got was a fully automatic fully automatic DeLonghi magnifica. I had two of those over the years, bought the second one after the first one broke. Then the most recent one is the breville semi automatic which will grind coffee but you tamp and manually pull the shot. Out of all those machines this one does the best shots. Not sure if it's the machine or the fact that that I bought a separate grinder which might be higher quality than the ones contained in the fully automatic machines or semi-automatic ones. Im always surprised a the shots I am able to get with this machine, great looking shot after great looking shot. It makes pulling a shot more than just making a cup of coffee. More like a hobby because it's so fun to get that perfect three layered shot, and getting that beautiful three layered shot actually means your coffee will taste better. When I first got the machine I went through about a pound or two of coffee over several hours just pulling shot after shot dialing in the grind and the time and the weight until now just about every time I brew, with what I've learned, it's a perfect shot. And as I already said when the espresso shot looks perfect the taste is absolutely better than when it doesn't look 'perfect'. The other reason I got this machine is the fact that it is repairable. Out of the machines that I mentioned owning in the past I've spent $3,000 or $4,000 over the years, The fully automatic ones are not cheap and also a lot of times are not repairable so when it breaks you toss it out, ouch! I kept my first broken DeLonghi fully automatic espresso machine out in the garage for about 5 years before I finally thought that it was time to fix it and upon taking it apart saw that it was never going to go back together. For one thing parts were not available and another thing even if I were it just would not have gone back together. Very cheap and unreliable on the inside. This espresso machineis easily serviceable by a professional or even a homeowner and very simple and high quality on the inside. I've read great reviews of people doing simple upgrades and fixes themselves. So for the price, this thing will last you a lifetime unlike the fully automatic things which cost about a grand or so, but will leave you high and dry in about 5 years.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a great machine? I seen reviews on this and this machine came out recently**
A: I have used this maching for over 10 years.  It is outstanding.  Wait for fathers day sale or 20% at bed bath and beyone.  If you have any issues there are numerous youtube channels that show how easy it is to maintain this machine.  As for Stox's comments below, when this happened to me I removed the screen and brass screen holder and ring and then cleaned each and the area the portafilter twists into and the area the ring fits into.  Fine coffee grounds get pressed tight onto the surfaces and keep the portfilter from twisting in place.

**Q: Anyone know the actual size of this machine? The specs say 8 x 9.5 x 9.5 in but I'm sure that is not correct. Thanks**
A: I would agree, these dimensions look incorrect. 9.5 inches wide, maybe, but I highly doubt it's only 8 or 9.5 inches tall.  14.2 inches deep makes sense per the video. What is the actual Length, Width, Depth of this machine? Thanks.

**Q: Where is it made?**
A: The guy who thinks nobody knows what they are talking about doesn't know what he is talking about. The earlier classic models were made in Italy. In 2013, and you can actually look at the back of a 2013 model and clearly see "2013" and "Made in Romania", it changed and inferior parts were made. In 2018 ALL Gaggia machines were made in Italy again. Google is your friend.

**Q: Is the boiler made of aluminum like the classic ?**
A: Thank you for your question. The boiler is made of aluminum, yes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great machine, looks like it's built to last
*by M***N on December 27, 2020*

I've had this machine for a few weeks now. The reason I chose this was because I was looking for a machine that would last me awhile, rather than breaking down every few months. With research, many say this machine with consistent maintenance will last me a few years. Now, first impressions? I'm a literal amateur at coffee. I started off from a Keurig, to Nespresso, to Mr. Coffee (big regret) to now this. So yes, the learning curve is HUGE. In the beginning pulling the portafilter across takes MANPOWER. Had to hug the machine to lock it in, but recently it's gotten easier to pull so maybe it's just about "breaking it in". This Gaggia pulls the best espressos I've ever had. With the Mr. Coffee Coffeehouse machine, I thought my beans were the problem as it was constantly bitter even after dousing cream and sugar but it turns out it was the machine itself. With this Gaggia, I drink the same beans WITHOUT sugar which for me is a big deal. The steaming took a few tries to get the hang of but I'm getting there. I had to watch a couple videos on how to use the machine properly as the instructions aren't entirely clear. UPDATE: 3 months later. Noticed a little slow extraction issue and decided it was time to decalcify, but other than that, no issues. My sentiment about this machine has remained the same. For its price point it does a great job pulling a shot of espresso. If you're a newbie like i was (and still am!) with this machine you'll need to take time to learn the nuances otherwise you WILL get frustrated with sour shots. Here's what I've noticed and recommend if you want to stick with this machine 1. This machine is "buildable". It's one of the attractive features where you have total control over the machine, and can add/remove things such as a better IMS shower screen, a PID, a lower OPV bar spring, etc. These things in total will cost you an additional $150 though. I did it because this machine is known to last so I personally think it's worth the investment. But if you don't feel comfortable buying a machine and spending more for additional parts maybe this one isn't for you. 2. Mentioned it in #1 BUT GET A PID!!! i hated temp surfing to find the optimal brew temperature, and a MrShades PID helped regulate not only brew temp, but the steam as well. No more losing steam power in the middle of steaming! Fair warning, if you're not tech savvy, you may end up taking a few hours to install the PID. It was a little confusing and I ended up taking about 2 days (6hours total) to install it. 3. For those that complain the shots are too slow, what's your definition of slow? There's so many factors you need to consider here when it comes to extraction time; grind size and consistency, tamping, beans, etc. A double shot should come out at about 20-30sec. Any slower/faster more often results in bitter coffee. Again if you're new to espresso please read some forums it will tremendously help you get better shots. There are subreddits and Facebook pages that have a Gaggia Classic community filled with helpful people. Overall, for the value of this machine, it's the best you're going to get. Obviously if you spend $1000, you'll get a thousand dollar quality machine. You're spending less than $500, you'll get $500 quality machine. The GCP is a very good product for $450 considering other brands at the same price range. I'll update this every now and then because I want to make sure this is a long-term commitment. Update: Over a year later 3/4/2022. Machine is still going strong! Regular maintenance is a must, but overall, extremely happy with my machine. Only downside is now that when I make coffee for guests it can be tedious to wait for the boiler to heat up/cool down, for several cups, but that's all just party tricks.
