- Gaggia Classic GT (58mm portafilter)
- Gaggia Classic Pro (E24) (58mm portafilter)
Gaggia’s OEM pressurized basket — the “Crema Perfetta” — sold as a replacement kit with the 2-way splitter pin. Gaggia states it fits its 58mm espresso machines and is the factory replacement for the pressurized basket that ships with the Classic. Pressurized baskets are Gaggia’s design for pre-ground or inconsistent grinds; the Classic also ships with traditional (non-pressurized) baskets for fresh-ground coffee.
