Good Machine, Questionable Value: Gaggia Classic Up Review @LanceHedrick

Uploaded June 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

I love Gaggia. I think their Baby, Classic, and Classic Pro have revolutionized home espresso enthusiasm. But, I think they fall a bit short with this- and about 10 years too late. While the machine is well made, the price is actually reasonable against competition, I am just wanting a bit more for the price. I hope this review was helpful in understanding further what the Gaggia Classic Up has to offer!
