The Classic. Now Upgraded.

For decades, the Gaggia Classic has been one of the most recognised home espresso machines in the world.

Its straightforward design, professional-size 58 mm brewing platform and ability to produce serious espresso have made it a favourite among home baristas — and a machine enthusiasts have loved to modify.

The Gaggia Classic UP takes the next step.

Gaggia has integrated many of the features enthusiasts previously added themselves, including Dual PID temperature management, adjustable pre-infusion, 9-bar brewing pressure, a pressure gauge and digital shot timer.

The result is a Classic that gives you significantly more control straight out of the box.

No mods required. Just dial in and start brewing.

Dual PID Temperature Control

Temperature is one of the most important variables in espresso.

The Classic UP features two PID temperature-control functions — one dedicated to coffee brewing and another dedicated to steam operation.

The brewing temperature is adjustable, giving you the ability to experiment with temperature according to the coffee you’re using.

This is particularly useful when moving between traditional darker espresso roasts, medium roasts and lighter specialty coffees.

The second PID manages the higher boiler temperature required for steam production.

The Classic UP remains a single-boiler espresso machine. Dual PID refers to the independent PID management of its brewing and steaming temperature modes, not two separate boilers.

Adjustable Pre-Infusion

Control your extraction before full brewing pressure even begins.

The Classic UP introduces automatic adjustable pre-infusion with three available levels:

MIN • MED • MAX

Pre-infusion can also be switched OFF.

This gives you another variable to work with when dialling in different coffees and recipes.

Grind. Temperature. Pre-infusion. Time. Pressure.

The Classic UP gives you more control over the variables that matter.

9-Bar Brewing Pressure

More pressure doesn’t necessarily mean better espresso.

Although the machine’s pump has a nominal rating of 15 bar, the Classic UP features a fixed 9-bar OPV for brewing.

This regulates brewing pressure around the level traditionally associated with espresso extraction.

And with the Classic UP, you can actually see what’s happening during your shot.

Analogue Brew Pressure Gauge

The Classic UP adds an analogue brew-pressure gauge, giving you real-time feedback during extraction.

Combined with adjustable temperature and the built-in shot timer, you now have three extremely useful pieces of information when dialling in:

Temperature. Pressure. Time.

Instead of simply pressing the brew switch, you can start understanding how changes to your grind, dose and preparation affect the extraction.

Colour TFT Display

Classic on the outside.

Much smarter underneath.

The colour TFT display with four capacitive buttons gives you access to the Classic UP’s settings and brewing information.

From the interface you can configure functions including:

• Brewing temperature
• Pre-infusion
• Preset extraction time
• Celsius or Fahrenheit
• Scheduled switch-on
• Automatic standby
• Button sounds

During extraction, the display also provides useful information including boiler temperature and shot time.

Built-In Shot Timer

One less accessory to add to your coffee setup.

The Classic UP includes an integrated shot timer, allowing you to monitor extraction time directly from the machine.

When dialling in espresso, you can now work with:

Dose → Yield → Time → Temperature → Pressure

without needing a separate timer on the machine.

Preset Your Extraction

Want greater consistency for your everyday coffee?

The Classic UP allows you to configure a time-based preset extraction.

Set your preferred extraction time and the machine can reproduce it when required.

Prefer complete manual control?

You still have it.

Professional 58 mm Brewing Platform

The Classic UP retains one of the characteristics that helped make the original Classic so popular:

A professional-size 58 mm brewing platform.

The machine is equipped with a 58 mm stainless-steel portafilter paired with a lead-free brass group.

The 58 mm platform also gives you access to a huge ecosystem of baskets, tampers, distribution tools and other espresso accessories as your home setup develops.

Lead-Free Brass Boiler & Group

At the heart of the Classic UP is a lead-free brass boiler, paired with a lead-free brass group.

Combined with PID temperature management, the brass brewing system provides the thermal foundation needed for consistent espresso preparation while retaining the compact format for which the Classic is known.

Professional Steam Wand

Espresso isn’t the whole story.

The Classic UP features a fully articulated professional stainless-steel steam wand.

Its wide range of movement makes positioning your milk pitcher easier, while the professional steam tip gives you the control required to develop smooth microfoam.

Perfect for:

Cappuccino • Flat White • Cortado • Latte

And, with some practice, latte art.

Two Drip Trays

A simple change that makes the Classic significantly more practical.

The Classic UP includes two interchangeable drip trays.

Use the standard tray for traditional espresso cups, or install the lower-profile tray when you need additional clearance for a larger cup or coffee scale.

Cup clearance increases from approximately 7 cm to 9.5 cm, depending on the tray installed.

A Proper Tamper. Included.

The Classic UP includes a stainless-steel Gaggia tamper with a removable black handle.

It’s a small detail, but an important one.

You’re starting with a proper espresso preparation tool rather than the basic plastic tamper traditionally included with many home espresso machines.

Made in Italy

The Gaggia Classic UP is designed and manufactured in Italy.

It retains the unmistakable industrial character of the Classic while introducing the control that modern home baristas increasingly expect.

A Classic on the outside. A very different machine underneath.
