Gaggia Classic Pro E24 Espresso Machine

Super simple machine that makes adding a PID relatively easy. Great espresso. Love the brass boiler and the 9bar pressure valve. Wish the drip tray was a little nicer and left more room for a scale. Had to get an aftermarket portafilter to make it all fit. But not bad for $500.

Worth it

I bought it because it was the most affordable machine for home brewing that has minimal plastic and makes 'real' espresso. I dinged it one star because i had to purchase a separate spring to lower the pressure. it comes set up for people who use pods. If i wanted pods, i would just use a k-cup machine right? Otherwise, there is a learning process, but I am loving it and it will pay for itself in about a year or less.

Very happy with the Gaggia Classic Pro E24 espresso machine (my 2nd). Also got this for a great price. Whole Latte Love was very helpful as usual.
