Detailed Product Description

The Gaggia Classic UP is a machine that bridges the gap between home brewing and a professional barista experience. At coffeetime.si, we understand that premium single-origin coffee requires stability and repeatability, which is why the UP model is equipped with advanced technology for complete control over key parameters.

Precise Extraction Control The dual PID system allows you to adjust the brewing temperature according to your coffee's roast level, while the shot timer on the color display ensures extraction time is always under control. The machine also includes a Wake-up-Timer, ensuring the device is heated and ready when you wake up.

Professional Milk System For milk drink enthusiasts, there's a fully articulated professional steam wand with a single hole. This allows for the creation of silky microfoam, essential for latte art and premium cappuccino.

Premium Materials and Safety The brushed stainless steel (inox) housing is complemented by robust illuminated switches. The biggest upgrade, however, is hidden inside: the group and boiler are made of lead-free brass, ensuring the highest hygiene and compliance with international drinking water standards.
