Gaggia Classic Espresso Machine Overview

[LowFlyingTortilla]

I've had mine for 15 years. Please make sure you have the instructions for descaling and cleaning! It saves you a lot of trouble and money. The descaling instructions are downloadable on the gaggia site.

Good coffee right out of the box - no futzing, no headaches! Best of all - it's reasonably priced.

is there any significant difference between the Gaggia classic and Gaggia baby?

[jmsaltzman]

@streamr89 The Classic has a 3-way valve to release the pressurized water into the drip tray after brewing. Not sure if the Baby has that, but the Baby has pushbutton control of how much water is pushed through the grounds when brewing.

Note: this video is stretched horizontally, making everything wide. Weak.

@KellanE05 A 58mm works perfectly

Why didn't you take a close up when the coffee was made. I wanted to see the aroma of the coffee.

hi, i would like to ask because i a little bit confused here.i want to buy coffee machine but i don't know which 1 to decide either delonghi or gaggia?could you make suggestion for me please..thanks in advance

@teddyheavy, When choosing an espresso machine it is important to know what is important to you. Both the Delonghi and the Gaggia are good machines. With the Gaggia you will have more control over your shots. You will be able to change the grind setting along with the tamp pressure which will change up the shot quality.

good review thanks

[grzpig]

great video detailing technical aspects of the gaggia classic.

[revanslacey]

Very useful video. Tod is superb and really seems to know what he is talking about.

Tracey seems quite amusingly pissed off about something! Check out her 'micro-expression' at 2:57, her comment about 'your partner getting steam all over you' which she then tries to backtrack on ... and her forced smile at 3:20 when she says 'I appreciate that'. And, best of all, the way she reacts when Tod empties the coffee on the table.

A real Classic!
