Gaggia Classic E24 Ultimate Modded Edition (PID & OPV)

The Icon. Refined.

The Gaggia Classic Pro has earned its place as one of the most trusted home espresso machines in the world. Built in Italy with commercial-inspired components, it has become the go-to choice for home baristas who want exceptional espresso without stepping into the prosumer price bracket.

At Aura Bean, we believe an already great machine can be even better.

That’s why our Performance Edition comes professionally upgraded with two of the most sought-after modifications already installed: the Presso PID Temperature Controller and the Presso 9 Bar OPV Modification. These upgrades transform the brewing experience by improving temperature stability, optimising extraction pressure and giving you greater control over every shot.

Instead of buying a machine and immediately looking for upgrades, you can start brewing with confidence from the very first espresso.

Why We Created the Performance Edition

The Gaggia Classic Pro is an outstanding platform, but like many home espresso machines, there’s room to unlock even more performance.

By combining precise temperature control with the ideal brewing pressure, the Performance Edition produces sweeter, cleaner and more consistent espresso while making the machine easier to use every day.

It’s everything we believe the Gaggia Classic Pro should be.

Professionally Upgraded Before Delivery

Presso PID Temperature Controller

Consistent temperature is one of the biggest factors in producing exceptional espresso.

The integrated Presso PID replaces temperature surfing with accurate digital control, allowing you to select and maintain stable brewing temperatures throughout extraction. Whether you’re brewing a traditional chocolate-forward blend or experimenting with lighter roasted single origins, the PID helps unlock greater sweetness, clarity and consistency.

Presso 9 Bar OPV Modification

Espresso is generally extracted most effectively at around 9 bar of brewing pressure.

The factory-installed Presso 9 Bar OPV Modification adjusts the machine to this ideal pressure, helping reduce channeling and promote more even extraction. The result is improved balance, smoother body and a more forgiving workflow when dialling in your coffee.

Professionally installed before delivery, both upgrades integrate seamlessly into the machine while preserving its clean factory appearance.

Specifications

Aura Bean Brewing Tip

The Performance Edition gives you the tools to achieve outstanding espresso, but fresh coffee and a quality grinder remain essential. Pair this machine with freshly roasted beans and a stepless espresso grinder, and you’ll unlock a level of consistency that’s difficult to achieve with an unmodified machine.

We don’t believe in selling equipment that needs immediate upgrades.

That’s why we’ve taken one of the world’s most respected home espresso machines and refined it into a package we’d proudly use ourselves. Every Performance Edition is professionally upgraded before it reaches your doorstep, allowing you to spend less time modifying your machine and more time enjoying exceptional coffee.

When you buy from Aura Bean, you’re not simply purchasing an espresso machine. You’re investing in equipment selected, tested and recommended by specialty coffee professionals who understand what it takes to brew consistently great espresso.
