Gaggia Classic UP — PID single-boiler espresso machine, made in Italy
Cafform Limited Warranty
Covered for 2 years from the date your machine is delivered.
What it covers: pump failure, boiler and heating element defects, electrical component defects, and manufacturing faults.
What it does not cover: limescale or scale damage caused by hard water or inadequate maintenance; normal wear and tear; commercial use of a machine sold for domestic use where that use caused or contributed to the failure; damage caused by accident, misuse, neglect, or failure to follow operating instructions; damage or defects caused by an improper repair, modification, part, or service not provided by Cafform; and consumable parts that have reached the end of their normal service life, including gaskets, filters, and shower screens.
The fact that a machine has been repaired, serviced, or fitted with a part by someone other than Cafform does not by itself cancel this warranty. However, this warranty does not cover damage or a defect caused by an improper third-party repair, modification, part, or service.
To make a claim, email support@cafform.com with your order number and a description of the fault. We will review the claim, provide instructions, and, where a return is required, arrange return shipping at our cost.
For a covered claim, Cafform may provide repair, replacement, or refund as appropriate and as required by applicable law.
This warranty is provided by ELKADRI & CO LTD, trading as Cafform, and is additional to any mandatory consumer rights that apply to your purchase.

The modification everyone used to make, done at the factory
For years the standard advice on a Gaggia Classic was to buy it and then fit a PID yourself. The UP ships with one already installed, which removes the soldering iron from the equation and leaves nothing for you to open.
How it works
A dual PID system regulates the boiler, and you set brew temperature in single-degree steps between 176°F and 212°F, in Celsius or Fahrenheit, with the live boiler temperature shown while it climbs. While brewing, the same display doubles as a shot timer. A low-flow pre-infusion cycle wets the puck gently before full pressure arrives, which is the part that makes light roasts behave.
Specifications
- Boiler: single boiler
- Temperature control: dual PID, 1° increments, 176–212°F
- Pre-infusion: low flow
- Shot timer: on the PID display
- Water supply: reservoir
- Made in: Italy
- Height: 14.2 in
- Shipping weight: approximately 18 lb
Who it suits
A good fit if you are stepping up from pods or a pressurised basket, you want real temperature control without a four-figure machine, and you like that a large community already knows how to service this model.
Consider another machine if you need to brew and steam at the same time, or you want the heavier brass build of a machine twice the price.
