What's New on the Gaggia Classic Evo Pro?

The Gaggia Classic Evo Pro is Coffee Addicts' most popular machine for good reasons! This simple yet fully controllable machine allows you to reach new heights in your coffee journey and grow with a truly versatile machine. Compared to other espresso machines at this price point, the Gaggia Classic Evo Pro will enable you to pull espresso shots and steam milk with cafe quality. 

So, what sets it apart? Here’s what we’ve found:

Updated 9-bar extraction

Water pressure is the most crucial factor in making great espresso. The pressure of the water pushing through the coffee grounds ensures we’re fully extracting all the flavour and aroma, resulting in a balanced, rich, and full-bodied espresso shot. With an updated 9-bar extraction (compared to its previous 12-bar), the hardware of the Gaggia Evo Classic Pro allows you to pull amazing shots without any user mods required. 

Upgraded Accessories

Let’s be honest: everything matters, from the machine's build to the feel of the portafilter to the quality of the baskets. Anything that feels “cheap” makes every consumer wary, and brands like Gaggia have made a considerable effort to produce quality at an incredibly affordable price. We’ve been so impressed with the upgraded quality of the new stainless steel portafilters because, although it's a small detail, it assures us of the true quality of the machine. 

Commercial Parts

One of the biggest things we love is how easy it is to find parts for the Gaggia Classic Evo Pro, making machine maintenance and servicing a fully accessible part of your coffee journey. From the rocker switches to the steam wand and many internal parts, the simplistic yet durable design makes this machine a clear winner. Quality parts ensure quality coffee, so knowing that this machine contains many of the same parts as other commercial machines points to the brand's care and attention to maintaining accessibility for consumers. 

Boiler Protection

What’s the number one killer of any espresso machine? (If you don’t know the answer, go ahead and reread this blog). The upgraded Gaggia Classic Evo Pro has an inert coating to prevent corrosion and scale formation in the boiler, which will effectively render your machine unusable if gone unnoticed. Paired with a top-notch cleaning schedule and regular maintenance, this machine can easily last you 10+ years (if not more!)

From the internals to the externals, we’re so impressed with the Gaggia Classic Evo Pro. The machine's overall design showcases the brand’s dedication to quality, tradition, and an improved user experience. Interested in seeing the machine in action?
