One other thing to consider is that the Gaggia Classic has earned itself a loyal following; so loyal, in fact, that some people have even seen fit to modify it with improved parts. These modifications can add features such as PID temperature regulation (a regular feature on high end machines), or simply upgrade and replace elderly parts in years to come. In short, this is a machine for which replacement parts are plentiful, and with sensible repairs may last longer than your kitchen. That’s something of a rarity in today’s world.
