Gaggia Classic Evo Pro (E24): your first espresso shot
Start with 18 g of coffee in and 36 g in the cup (1:2) for a medium roast. The grind number depends on your grinder: find yours below, then taste and adjust.
The recipe
- Dose: 18 g (about what the double basket holds; if the top of the puck is marked by the shower screen, use 1 g less).
- Stop at: 36 g in the cup (1:2) for a medium roast, 45 g for a light roast. Manual switch: stop when the scale reads your target weight.
- Temperature: No temperature control (thermostat). Preheat the portafilter by running water through it, brew once the ready light is on, and after steaming run water through the group to cool the boiler.
Where to start on your grinder
Starting settings in each grinder's own numbers. They are starting points from the makers' published ranges, not a guarantee: taste decides. Tap a setting for the full recipe with your roast and the next-shot fix, or a grinder for its light and dark starting points.
