$400-450. In production since 1991. Brass boiler. Infinitely moddable.
The Gaggia Classic has been in production since 1991 and it's the machine that serious home baristas learn on before upgrading to prosumer equipment. The 2019 "Pro" revision added a commercial-style 3-way solenoid valve and updated the group head. At $400-450, it's built like a tank (brass boiler, stainless steel housing), pulls excellent shots with proper technique, and is infinitely moddable. The Gaggia Classic modding community is enormous — OPV spring mods, PID controllers, IMS baskets. It rewards learning in a way that push-button machines don't.
