Last week, I received an email from my old friend ask me something about the best espresso machine. He told me that he wants to buy a coffee machine, but he’s a little bit confused that which one to decide, either delonghi or gaggia? When choosing an espresso machine, it is more important to know what is important to you. Both the Delonghi and the Gaggia are great machines. With the Gaggia, you will have more control over your shots. You will be able to change the grind setting along with the tamp pressure which will change up the shot quality. Of course, you can also get some reviews about Delonghi Espresso Machine here.
Actually, if you have read my latest espresso machine reviews about Gaggia 14101 Classic Espresso Machine, you must be deeply attracted by that coffeemaker. Now we’re here still with the Gaggia Classic. And I remember that the Money Magazine just recently named this machine the top home espresso machine to get that makes the perfect espresso.
“Consumers Best Buy! Very good, housing, stainless steel, very heavy duty.” As they said.
But I think the reason why it’s one of the best sellers is three key components, and it’s going to be, temperature stability, water distribution, and brew pressure.On the front of the machine, you have three switches which are very simple to operate. You have a main power switch, a steam switch and a brew switch. The brew switch operates the pump, and turns it on or off to start or stop the brewing process. On the right side of the Gaggia Classic, there is the steam knob. The steam knob controls the hot water or the steam that comes through the steam wand. At the same time, you will notice that’s got good height of the counter so you can fit a good sized pitcher underneath. And the drip tray is accessible from the front of the machine, which can be removed, taken over to the sink, and drained out and then replaced back. And then we have our water reservoir. Water reservoir can be filled from the top of the machine, and it has space for 72 ounces of liquid, and also can be removed from the front of the machine if you need to. Just so easy to use, the Gaggia Classic turns anyone into a Barista in our own home.
OK, if you are more interested in this great machine. Maybe you want to know more about the internals of this machine, I can represent it to you. First, the brew group, which is fitted up inside of the machine and the portafilter there locks into it. Both are chrome plated brass. Commercial sized and commercial weight. So what you get here is a large diameter that you have a large surface area of the coffee that’s exposed to the water.
Usually, there is a brass piece controls the actual brew pressure. So we can have pumps in there and it can create somewhere between 15 to 17 bar of pressure, but these actually regulate the brew pressure down to 9 bar. Of course, it will brew at the same pressure as a commercial machine. There are two very high wattage heating elements in the boiler, both imbedded into the aluminum on the boiler. It heats up very quickly to brew temperature and to steam temperature. Also in there we have they call a three way solenoid valve. What it does is released the water pressure off the coffee and puts it into the drip tray when you’re done brewing so that you have a nice dry coffee puck that you can knock out of the portafilter. It’s a positive closing valve so that you don’t get water leaking through the brew group. It’s also very easy to clean as many reviewers said.
What’s more, a couple of accessories with your machine ars going to come with. You’re going to get three filter baskets. One for a single shot, one for a double shot, and one that’s able to
do pods so any ESE or easy serving espresso can be placed into the third basket. The grinder of this machine is the Gaggia MDF. This is a dosing grinder, very similar to what you’ll find in the commercial espresso shots. You pull the handle and it dispenses the coffee. Now one of the good things about the Gaggia Classic is that it only takes about five minutes for it to heat up and then to get to the steaming function is only about twenty seconds. This machine is the best selling espresso machine on Amazon now. Many customer purchase it which prove it’s a real classic and worthy machine.
