CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR CHOICE!
Thanks to the new Gaggia Classic E24 machine, you will become a real home barista and rediscover the traditional
gestures of espresso professionals during each coffee break. When using Classic Coffee machine, it is important to
pay attention to every detail, just like when using a professional bar machine: the machine must be very hot and
the filter holder must always be installed to maintain a homogeneous temperature in the brew unit. Furthermore,
the coffee must be ground finely but not too much, the right amount of ground coffee must be placed in the filter
and it must be pressed with just the right intensity, to prevent the coffee from coming out too quickly, but not too
much as this would make brewing very difficult.
The new Classic E24 features a filter holder unit and a steam wand just like professional machines.
