Better Together Bundle: Gaggia Classic Evo Pro and DF54 Single Dose Coffee Grinder
We have people ask us all the time: "What's the best entry-level machine and single dose grinder?" Now, we finally have our answer.
Introducing the Better Together Bundle, which pairs some of our favourite machines with our favourite single dose coffee grinder. This bundle features the Gaggia Classic Evo Pro, a cult-favourite that many home baristas start their espresso journey on due to it's ease of serviceability and ability to modify later on down the road, plus the DF54 Single Dose Coffee Grinder, which, no surprise, is a three-time Staff Pick winner!
There's no better time to grab yourself a machine and grinder (and no better price!) Read on to learn more about this dynamic duo:
The Gaggia Classic Evo Pro is the best-in-class espresso machine, equipped with strong commercial parts that push it ahead of middling coffee appliances from the local store.
The Gaggia Classic Evo Pro is the latest iteration of the Classic and features several key updates including 9 bar extractions, inert coating to prevent corrosion and scale formation in the boiler, stainless steel portafilter, and polished steel group cover. The Evo Pro also includes an updated mounting plate to secure the pump and boiler and reduce noise generated by vibration. Designed and made in Italy, and with roots in the origins of espresso itself, the Gaggia Classic Evo Pro offers full control and capability for real, café quality espressos, lattes, cappuccinos, and more. There is no machine with better value than this Gaggia coffee machine.
Features:
- Commercial Steam Wand: The commercial style steam wand comes equipped with a two-hole tip to perfectly craft velvety microfoam for lattes, cappuccinos, and more. The microfoam created by the commercial steam wand is tight enough for high quality latte art.
- Mechanical Rocker Switch: Made of the same durable material used on commercial products, the independent precision rocker switches offer a satisfying snap when flipping the controls.
- Stainless Steel Body: The Classic Evo Pro's body is constructed of one-piece 17-gauge stainless steel, no plastic veneer or thin steel.
- Commercial Portafilter: The 58 mm stainless steel portafilter is the same used on commercial machines. It weighs in at 1 lbs, a full 13% heavier than competing 54 mm portafilters.
- 3 Way Solenoid Valve: The three-way solenoid valve relieves the pressure in the portafilter immediately after pulling a shot. This leaves the coffee puck dry, making it easy to clean and pull the next shot.

The Turin DF54 single dose grinder incorporates a lot of the features from the popular DF64 in a more compact size. The DF54 features custom 54mm burrs, a 150W motor, a plasma generator to reduce static and built-in anti-popcorn lid. It also now comes equipped with a dosing cup, wood lid and a powder coated body for a long lasting and premium feel.
The DF54 was designed with espresso in mind, but it is also very capable in the pour-over range. The extremely low retention (less than 0.1g), compact size and stepless adjustment make it a perfect entry level grinder for any home setup.
