Consumer Ratings for the Gaggia Classic Pro Espresso Machine:
The Gaggia Classic Pro Espresso Machine has almost 900 ratings on Amazon giving it an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars. 82% of these reviews have given it 5 star ratings.
A lot of customers like the Gaggia Classic Pro Espresso Machine for making really good espresso that they say will surely make you skip Starbucks as soon as you get the hand of pulling the shots. One of the customers left a review saying they were upset they did not purchase sooner. Many people say the Gaggia Classic Pro Espresso Machine is a machine and not an appliance. All the parts of this machine are industrial strength and will last for many years to come.
But on the other hand there are a couple of customers who had to deal with a smoking machine and tripped circuits. Some other customers who love the machine only wish it was able to fit a mug instead of a smaller cup. Very few people had complaints where the machine or some part of it stopped working after a few months. A customer also noted that the minimum water requirement for even one shot of espresso is 6 cups which seems like a lot of water to waste.
Bottom Line:
The Gaggia Classic Pro Espresso Machine is built mainly for commercial purposes. It is recommended for those who own or manage a large-scale barista because it produces professional level coffee. Its size, features and build are all suited for coffee houses.
