Technical features

Made in Italy, this premium machine ensures your coffee is brewed using constant, flawlessly stable temperature throughout the entire process. Additionally, a powerful 15-bar pump pushes hot water through the ground coffee at particularly high pressure. This results in a delicious layer of crema on each espresso cup.

Professional steam wand

Lovers of milk-based coffees are bound to love the professional steam wand that the Gaggia New Classic espresso machine boasts. If you’re not an experienced barista yet, it can be difficult to whip up some truly creamy foam during your first try. However, a few training sessions are guaranteed to have you enjoying smooth homemade cappuccinos—just like the ones you’d get at an Italian café.

Gaggia Espresso Machine Maintenance

Maintaining a Gaggia espresso machine is crucial for ensuring its longevity and performance. Regular cleaning and descaling are key to keeping the machine in top condition. Here’s how to care for your Gaggia machine:

1. Daily Cleaning: After each use, remove the portafilter and rinse it along with the filter basket. Use a soft cloth to wipe down the machine’s exterior and steam wand. It’s essential to purge the steam wand immediately after use by releasing steam to expel any milk residue inside.
2. Descaling: Gaggia machines should be descaled every two months or more frequently depending on water hardness and usage. Use the Gaggia-branded descaler for optimal results, following the instructions provided in the manual. This process involves adding the descaling solution to the water tank, running part of the solution through the machine’s hot water and steam circuits, and then letting it sit to break down limescale deposits. Afterward, flush the system with fresh water to remove any remaining solution.
3. Group Head Maintenance: Regularly clean the brew group with a damp cloth. For machines with a removable brew group, take it out weekly and rinse it under warm water.
4. Replacing Water Filters: If your model supports it, replace the Intenza water filter every three months to improve coffee taste and protect the machine from scale buildup.

Adhering to these maintenance steps helps ensure that your Gaggia espresso machine remains a reliable tool for brewing excellent coffee day after day.
