Gaggia Classic UP Espresso Machine

The Gaggia Classic UP is a premium single boiler espresso machine with PID boiler regulation and low flow pre-infusion cycles for light, medium and dark roasted coffee. Made by Gaggia in Italy, the Classic UP incorporates many features common among the enthusiasts community; like the PID, but also a fully articulated commercial steam wand, a second shorter drip tray for greater cup clearance, 9 bar OPV, brew pressure gauge and a commercial tamper.

Features:

• PID Temperature Control:  The PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) controller allows the user to precisely adjust the brew or steam temperature and improve temperature stability.  It also doubles as a shot timer while brewing.
• Brass Boiler and Group: The all new brass boiler and group feature increased capacity over the previous aluminum boiler, improved thermal stability which results in increased steam pressure and ability to brew more drinks consecutively.
• Variable Soft Infusion: Three automated 3g/sec low flow pre-infusion settings can be switched on for light (2 sec active/1sec soak), medium (8 sec active/3sec soak) and dark (12 sec active/3sec soak)
• Programmable Wakeup Time: So that your espresso machine can be ready when you are ready.
  
• Commercial Steam Wand: The commercial style steam wand comes equipped with a two-hole tip to perfectly craft velvety microfoam for lattes, cappuccinos, and more. The microfoam created by the commercial steam wand is tight enough for high quality latte art.
  
• Commercial Portafilter: The 58 mm stainless steel portafilter is the same used on commercial machines. It weighs in at 1 lbs, a full 13% heavier than competing 54 mm portafilters.
• 3 Way Solenoid Valve: The three-way solenoid valve relieves the pressure in the portafilter immediately after pulling a shot.  This leaves the coffee puck dry, making it easy to clean and pull the next shot.
