Gaggia Carezza Deluxe Espresso coffee Machine - RI8525/08

Product Information

As standard, the Gaggia Carezza Deluxe performs a rinse cycle when turned on, too, which means you can’t simply jam in the portafilter first thing in the morning, but have to wait for it to do its thing first. The machine also occasionally seems to require a few presses of a button to actually respond: it’s a quirky little thing. I Say one of, them because they also bundle the Gran Gaggia, and the Gaggia Viva in the same bundle, and they're even cheaper and will produce the same espresso quality, but I'll explain in the comparisons section why I believe the Carezza is worth the relatively small amount of extra cash vs these and most slightly cheaper alternatives. It has a manual shot button, press to start, press to stop, so nothing flashy there, but it's fine, it does the job & it's very simple. It does heat up fast as well, so although I inherently just don't like such a short auto off, and I have to be honest and say it's one of the things that would put me off this machine, it's really not a big deal, and I don't think it would be an issue for most people.

Gaggia Carezza Deluxe Review - Not What I Expected At All!

If you decide to use coffee beans, grind them at the right size: not too coarse (or water will flow too fast) and not too fine (or water will not flow) The Gaggia Carezza Deluxe has more style than most coffee machines. With a rounded front and a retro-looking analogue temperature dial, it has a lot more personality and Italian flavour than most.This breville espresso machine features low pressure pre-infusion that attaches low water pressure opening linage to gently spread grinds for an equalize extraction. As a largely traditional espresso machine, the design caters primarily for smaller espresso cups, and the portafilter height is fixed, but there is enough room to fit a mug if you like your coffee Americano-style. I got some really pleasant surprises when I started using this machine! The first one is the size of the drip tray. Most of the cheap machines have tiny little drip trays that really don't do much, this is a 300 ml capacity drip tray, so it's a really nice-sized practical drip tray. Frothing up milk with a steam spout naturally requires a bit of expertise, but we also found its occasional stop-start operation to be a complicating factor. The analogue-style control knob is also a slight red herring, with the actual delivery of both steam and water being much closer to a straight on/off relationship. Much like the temperature gauge, its design is as much for the pro look and feel it provides as anything else.
