Gaggia Classic Pro is an entry level espresso maker built to last. It builds on the long-standing reputation of the classic Classic with a few upgrades such as a frame that displays how much water remains along with rocker switches, as well as temperature-ready lighting. In terms of brewing, the Classic Pro utilizes the same commercial-style portafilter and brew groups that Gaggia employs in their professional coffee makers and also includes a three-way solenoid valve to purge any remaining steam or water after the brewing. It also has a commercial espresso machine-style steam wand, which is major improvement over panarello wands that are found on many less expensive machines that can do little more than inflate air to boost foam production from undersized boilers.

Although it's not as sleek or modern as some of the competition it's stainless steel body offers a pleasant feature that adds a bit of durability to many of its plastic rivals.

ECM is a sister company of Profitec (another well-known high-end espresso machine) is not known for its entry-level machines. However they do manufacture one that is called the Casa V.

The stainless steel mirror-finished housing and the articulating steam wand are both striking.

The heating element with 1200 watts is able to heat the 0.4 milliliter eco brass boiler quickly, bringing it up to brewing temperature in 5-7 minutes and ready for steam in just an hour. The pressure gauge for brewing is an important feature, as it lets you monitor and adjust the pressure of the pump.

ECM has packed reliable espresso machine technology into small size, which is easy to integrate into any kitchen. The Casa V will also look great in any coffee-themed design. It's built in the same way traditional commercial espresso machines have been constructed for decades, using easy-to-access parts that any mechanically adept home user will be comfortable fixing or maintaining.(Image: https://cdn.freshstore.cloud/offer/images/778/2238/de-longhi-dedica-style-traditional-pump-espresso-machine-coffee-and-cappuccino-maker-ec685m-1-liter-silver-2238.jpg)
