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 set the brewing temperature according to the roast level of your coffee, while the shot timer on the color display ensures that extraction time is always under control. The machine also includes a Wake-up-Timer, which ensures the device is heated and ready when you wake up.

Professional milk system For milk-based drink lovers, there is a fully articulated professional single-hole steam wand. This allows for the creation of silky microfoam, which is essential for latte art and a top-tier cappuccino.

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