Gaggia Classic Evo Pro or Sage Dual Boiler?

What actually differs between the Gaggia Classic Evo Pro and the Sage Dual Boiler, and what that means for who you are.

What differs

  • The Classic Evo Pro is €550.00 cheaper.
  • Both are the same kind of machine, a portafilter machine, so they work the same way.
  • Neither has a grinder. Budget for a separate one with both, and for a sum that comes close to the machine itself.
  • Milk works the same on both: with a steam wand you control yourself.
  • Cleaning the milk system is the same on both: after every use, a short burst of steam or water and a wipe with a damp cloth.
