For coffee lovers, there’s nothing quite like a well-pulled espresso shot. The rich aroma, the bold flavor, and that smooth crema on top, it’s an experience, not just a drink. If you want to go beyond the convenience of capsules and truly master the art of espresso, a traditional espresso machine is the way to go.

That’s where the Gaggia Classic Pro comes in. Built with over 45 years of espresso innovation, this machine combines Italian craftsmanship with commercial-grade features, giving home baristas everything they need to brew like a pro.

A Legacy of Espresso Excellence

Gaggia Milano has been shaping the world of espresso since 1938, when founder Achille Gaggia revolutionized coffee brewing by developing a system that eliminated steam in favor of controlled extraction. The result? The signature crema that defines a perfect espresso. Since then, Gaggia has been a leader in espresso machines, bringing professional-quality brewing into homes and cafés worldwide.

The Gaggia Classic Pro is the latest evolution of this legacy. First introduced in 1991 and refined over the decades, the Classic Pro continues to be a top choice for home baristas looking for quality, performance, and affordability.
