Description
 
Italian pioneer Achille Gaggia is known as the Father of the Modern Espresso Machine. He invented the first lever piston espresso machine in 1948, bringing a revolution in the world of espresso brewing. Even after six decades, Gaggia is still the leading brand of espresso machines. The reason for this persistent dominance is Gaggia's commitment to the quality of the products that it produces and their sustained durability.

The Classic is one of Gaggia's most well known and best selling models and it is finally available in Canada.  It features a great stainless steel construction and a commercial sized portafilter capable of creating wonderful espressos, cappuccinos and lattes.
Features
  • Commercial Size and Style Portafilter Handle

    Some of the most crucial elements for producing high quality espresso are influenced by the Style, Size and Construction of the portafilter. Style: This portafilter is designed like a commercial machine and works in the same way. The coffee is ground fine and is tamped (pressed) firmly into place. Size: The size of the portafilter is also the same as a commercial machine. Is has a large diameter (58 mm) so that the water is distributed evenly over a wide surface area. Construction: The portafilter is made up of two parts, the handle and the filter holder. The handle is made of high quality plastic. The heavy chrome plated brass filter holder keeps the temperature stable throughout the entire brewing process, therefore producing a quality cup of espresso.

    Commercial Brewing Group

    This is the portion of the machine that the portafilter locks into. It is made of chrome plated marine brass which provides a superior brewing environment through maximum heat stability and component longevity.

    Boiler

    The Gaggia boiler system is very unique. It is designed of highly conductive aluminum with two heating elements. The heating elements are embedded into the exterior sides of the boiler, providing even heat distribution. Having the highest wattage system available, incorporated into a low volume boiler (3.5 ounces) provides excellent temperature stability and will heat up quicker.

    3 Way Solenoid Valve
    The three-way solenoid valve is a commercial feature that relieves the water pressure off the coffee when the brew switch is turned off. This serves two functions; it dries out the coffee to prevent dripping and makes it easy to knock the coffee out of the portafilter with one knock.

    High Quality Controls with Temperature Ready Light

    The Classic contains three rocker arm switches. The one on the left is the main power switch. It has an indicator light built into it that is illuminated whenever the machine is turned on. The middle switch is the steam switch. When turned on it will heat the boiler up to steam temperature. The far right switch operates the pump and is also known as the brew switch. To start the brewing process just turn on the brew switch, wait until you have reached your desired volume and then turn off the switch. There is an indicator light built in that is illuminated whenever the boiler reaches operating temperature.

    Cup Warmer

    Preheating your cups is very important. The Classic has a cup warmer that will hold up to five espresso cups. It is a passive type heater which means it is heated with the residual heat from the boiler.

    Hot Water Dispenser

    If you want hot water for any reason, be it Hot Chocolate, Tea or Americanos it is very easy to do. Just turn on the pump (brew) switch and open the steam knob. Hot water will start to stream out.

    Improved Turbo Frother Steam Wand

    The Gaggia Classic comes equipped with a new Turbo Frothing steam wand. The new design makes great froth every time with no problems.

    Water Reservoir

    The large removable 64oz reservoir can be refilled from the top any time during the operation, for an endless supply of coffee.

    ESE Pod Capable

    Comes ready to use with pods or ground coffee. Use the single shot filter basket with Easy Serve Espresso (ESE) pods. Pods are single serve prepackaged shots that are designed to be quick and clean.

    Thermostat and Safety Switches

    The Gaggia has three temperature controls. There are two thermostats and one high limit. There is one thermostat for maintaining brew temperature and one for maintaining steam temperature. The high limit will turn off the power to the boiler in the event of a malfunction thus preventing the boiler from overheating.

    Housing Construction

    The Classic is made of stainless steel for extreme durability and a professional appearance. The drip tray is chrome plated while the drip grate and pan are made of a durable plastic.
