The Gaggia Classic semi-automatic espresso machine has earned the "Best Buy" designation from Consumers Digest magazine. Considerations such as "Beverage quality, ease of use, features, and quality of construction" were used to select "Best Buy" machines.
In the article "Best Buys in Espresso Machines," appearing in the August issue of the magazine, Consumers Digest praised the Gaggia Classic for its "combination of features that's unmatched for a consumer model." The magazine goes on to cite the boiler, two heating elements, large water reservoir, and three-way solenoid valve as reasons for selecting the Classic.
"The classic has been a consumer favorite since its debut," says Todd Salzman, National Sales Manager, Gaggia USA. "In addition to the highlights cited by Consumer Digest, the Gaggia Classic also has a variety of commercial components, such as chrome-plated brass brew group and portafilter as well as Pannarello steam want to deliver an enhanced home brewing and frothing experience. We are honored by the award and proud to represent the Gaggia Classic, a model we believe to be one of the best home espresso machines on the market."
