The chromed brass group head and filter holder are identical to those found on professional coffee machines. Along with the traditional Gaggia boiler and 15-bar pump, they guarantee a stable temperature throughout the entire brewing process. A three-way solenoid valve relieves pressure in the filter holder once extraction is complete, disposing of excess water to make cleaning easier. The professional steam wand contains two steam outlets, allowing you to prepare creamy cappuccinos without hassle. For added convenience, the machine comes with three filters to accommodate both ground coffee and ESE pods. Classic rocker buttons and indicator lights are at once user-friendly and emblematic of Gaggia’s storied history.

Professional brewing parts
The chromed brass group head and filter holder boast the same style, size, ring, and functionality as those found in commercial environments. This makes for a more full-bodied cup of coffee with a consistent temperature each time.
Solenoid valve
The three-way solenoid valve eases the pressure in the filter holder right after the shot is pulled. Water transfers from the filter basket to the drip tray via the valve, resulting in a dry coffee puck that makes cleaning easier.
Accommodates grounds or ESE pods
Load the portafilter with freshly ground coffee or, for less grunt work, pop an ESE pod inside. Either option will result in an exceptional espresso with a smooth crema. Using grounds allows you to hone your barista skills, while the pod option means less cleanup.
Classic user interface
The controls for espresso preparation, steam dispensing, and the machine’s power take the form of rocker switches accompanied by indicator lights. This gives the machine an industrial aesthetic and calls to mind the heritage of the Gaggia brand.
