How It Works
Switch on the rear power, activate with the front toggle, and preheat your group head. Load your coffee, tamp, and lock in. Use the TFT display to track temps and timing. Switch seamlessly between brew, steam, and hot water modes. All settings are menu-driven and customisable via the control panel.
Maintenance & Best Practices
Clean the steam wand after each use and wipe it down. Rinse your portafilter daily, brush the group screen after every shot, and backflush monthly with cleaning tablets. Always use filtered water to minimise scale buildup and keep your machine performing at its best.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can the Gaggia Classic GT brew and steam at the same time?
Yes, the dual boiler setup allows for simultaneous brewing and steaming—no waiting between espresso and milk frothing.
-
What is the function of the adjustable OPV on the Gaggia Classic GT?
The adjustable Over Pressure Valve (OPV) allows you to modify the brew pressure between 6 and 12 bars. This lets home baristas fine-tune espresso extraction based on grind size, dose, and roast profile, with the factory setting at 9 bars for optimal balance.
-
How does the dual PID system improve temperature stability?
The Gaggia Classic GT uses two independent PIDs—one for the brew boiler and one for the steam boiler. These ensure precise, consistent temperature control, which is essential for optimal espresso extraction and powerful milk steaming. Adjustments can be made directly via the display menu.
-
What are the benefits of adjustable pre-infusion on the Gaggia Classic GT?
Adjustable pre-infusion allows water to gently saturate the coffee puck before full pressure is applied. The Gaggia Classic GT offers automatic settings for light, medium, or dark roasts, as well as manual control for customised wetting and soaking times. This leads to more balanced extraction and improved crema.
-
What’s included in the box?
The Classic GT comes with a measuring scoop, a stainless steel tamper with a black wooden handle, and three filters (single, double, and blind).
