Classic Evo Pro

A thoughtfully executed product that addresses most (if not all) of the shortcomings of previous Gaggia Classic models. Overall it looks like an intentional and meaningful evolution rather than some hastily tacked on features.

Assuming you’re not a beginner home coffee enthusiast, I’d be looking more at actual coffee maker brands, not appliance makers who also do coffee machines. Especially if quality is your goal and price isn’t an issue. The Gaggia Classic E24 at around $900 is as good a machine as you’ll find for home

That’s the Gaggia e24. Its design predecessors have lasted decades. I once pulled a very abused 20 year old Gaggia Classic from a thrift store and I just needed to clean and descale it and it was running like new.

People getting into espresso literally all get the same advice: a) buy a GCP, b) dose 18g. But the stock unpressurized double-shot ba

This machine you're looking at is considered "fully modified" short of GaggiaMate/Gaggiuno, which would really negate all the existing mods. IMO, the price is worth it. The extra $175, would almost pay for a new brass boiler. If you plan on GaggiaMate/Gaggiuno, the E24 might be a better choice.
