Aug 14, 2024 · Gaggia even improved the mounting of the vibratory pump to reduce machine noise. For these reasons, along with the Italian heritage and the vibrant ownership group online always ready to share mods and improvements, the Gaggia Classic Evo Pro is a machine worth a lot more than its $450 entry price.
