Ideal for Home Baristas and Espresso Enthusiasts
The Gaggia Classic E24 is built for home brewers wanting commercial-level results. Perfect for quiet mornings, weekend rituals, or impressing guests. Works with both ground coffee and standard pods for flexibility.
How It Works
Fill the 2.1L water tank with cold water, power on the machine, and preheat the filter holder. Select your filter, tamp your coffee grounds evenly, and lock the portafilter in place. Wait for the ready light, then brew with a single press of the button. Watch the espresso flow rich and golden as the crema rises to the top – your morning ritual just got an upgrade.
Maintenance & Best Practices
Clean the steam wand after each use and rinse filters daily with warm water. Descale every 2–3 months using the Gaggia descaling solution. Remove the drip tray and water tank weekly to rinse. Always use fresh cold water and never run the machine dry.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What makes the Gaggia Classic E24 different from previous models?
The E24 includes a new lead-free brass boiler, upgraded brass group, and a redesigned stainless steel body. It offers better thermal stability, improved steam performance, and a more intuitive interface.
-
Can I use pods with the Gaggia Classic E24?
Yes, the E24 supports standard 44mm coffee pods using the included traditional 1-cup filter. Just insert the pod and brew as you would with ground coffee.
-
Is the steam wand suitable for latte art?
Absolutely. The two-hole stainless steel steam wand creates fine-textured microfoam, ideal for latte art and silky flat whites.
-
Does the Gaggia Classic E24 have a PID controller?
No, it does not include a PID. However, the new brass boiler offers excellent heat retention and stability for consistent shots.
-
How often should I descale the Gaggia Classic E24?
We recommend descaling every 2–3 months, or whenever water flow reduces. Use only the Gaggia descaling solution for safe and effective maintenance.
-
What is the frothing jet device, and when should I use it?
The frothing jet device is used only with the pressurised “Crema perfetta” filter. It helps beginners get better crema using pre-ground coffee. If you're using traditional filters, remove the jet device — leaving it in place will cause the machine to squirt coffee and may be unsafe.
-
How does manual pre-infusion work on the Gaggia Classic E24?
Manual pre-infusion can be done by briefly opening the steam valve before brewing. This reduces pressure in the group head, allowing water to gently saturate the coffee bed for better extraction and deeper aroma. It’s a simple trick that improves shot consistency.
