The Gaggia Classic Pro E24 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 Pro E24 is a premium entry-level espresso machine designed to please novice home baristas and veteran brewers alike. Designed and built entirely in Italy, the Classic Pro E24 is made from commercial-grade components, including a one-piece steel frame, a 3-way solenoid valve, a 58mm portafilter and group head, a professional steam wand, and an all-new brass boiler and group, for improved capacity, thermal stability and performance. Features: Brass Boiler and Group: The all new brass boiler and group feature increased capacity over the previous aluminum boiler, improved thermal stability which results in increased steam pressure and ability to brew more drinks consecutively. 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 Pro E24'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.
