Gaggia Classic E24 Manual Espresso Machine – Inox Stainless Steel, 58mm Portafilter, Brass Boiler, Made in Italy

The Gaggia Classic is the machine home baristas argue about and then buy. It is not automatic and it does not pretend to be — you dose, tamp and pull the shot yourself, on a 58mm commercial-size portafilter. That is the same diameter a café uses, so every basket, tamper, distribution tool and bottomless portafilter on the market fits it.

Underneath sits a lead-free brass boiler and brass brew group, and a 3-way solenoid valve that releases pressure the instant the shot ends — which is why the puck knocks out dry instead of soupy. The steam wand is a bare professional wand, not a plastic frothing aid, so it will texture milk properly for latte art once your hands learn it.

This is the Inox finish: brushed stainless steel body. Designed and made in Italy.
