Achille Gaggia found Gaggia in 1930 in Milan, Italy with the quest to make the perfect cup of espresso. Today they offer a range of machines that ranges from affordable to higher end and then to bean to cup.
About Gaggia Classic Pro
The Gaggia Classic Pro is a very affordable machine for the aspiring barista. It provides all the necessary to make a good cup of coffee without breaking your purse.
A semi-automatic machine that is available in silver or black.
The biggest difference between the Gaggia Classic and the Gaggia Classic Pro is the way in which they create milk foam. The Pro includes a commercial steam wand, which works a little bit better than the Classic's panarello wand.
