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. Verified against official
Gaggia pages on 2026-07-04.
