Gaggia Classic E24 Evo Pro
Stainless steel, brass-boiler espresso machine
Editorial review Reviewed 21 October 2026 How we assess products
The Classic E24 Evo Pro is the choice for someone who wants a straightforward traditional machine and is willing to learn its rhythm. A full-size 58mm portafilter, simple rocker switches and a manual wand keep the brewing process visible. This stainless-steel E24 has a brass boiler. Check the edition when ordering, because earlier Classic revisions differ.
