A portafilter is a way of life. For decades, Gaggia – the first mass-produced espresso machine for home use – has stood for pure Italian espresso enjoyment. Elegant details and high-quality surfaces define the overall appearance. Premium technology and refined design highlights bring perfect espresso enjoyment to your home. With the Gaggia Classic Coffee, preparing coffee becomes a ritual. This experience heightens the anticipation of the actual coffee enjoyment. Freshly grind the aromatic beans. Fill the fine coffee grounds into the portafilter and gently tamp them down. Insert the portafilter into the brew head and tighten it securely. The rest is taken care of by Gaggia. With professional pressure, the 90 °C hot water is pressed through the grounds in 15 – 20 seconds. The result is perfect. Espresso as it couldn't be better: heavenly fragrant, devilishly hot, and irresistibly full-bodied. With a delicate crema, as if it were prepared by a professional barista in a typical Italian café.
