$400-450. In production since 1991. Brass boiler. Infinitely moddable.
Built with a brass boiler and stainless steel shell since 1991, the Gaggia Classic Pro is 2x heavier than the #4 De'Longhi Dedica Arte at 22 lbs, ensuring durability. At $400–450, it is $50 cheaper than the #2 Breville Barista Express yet pulls superior shots with a commercial-style 3-way solenoid valve and moddable group head. The modding community offers OPV springs and PID controllers, and it rewards technique over automation—speed is slower than #1 but quality ceiling is higher.
