CoffeeKid - The Gaggia Years

CoffeeKid - The Gaggia Years ()

  „During my schooling, I had less and less time to fitter with my machine. And in the interest of convenience I even started drinking (gasp) instant again - though this time I was buying Tasters Choice Columbian (one of the more expensive instants on the market, and probably the best tasting).“

  „Best Value is kind of obvious - the Gaggia Carezza (again supplied by EspressoPeople ) is about 90% "Gaggia Classic" inside (save the metal body and 3 way solenoid valve) but at nearly half the price. Nice beginner machine that gives you a commercial sized portafilter and basket.“

  „Gaggia is now shipping the new Carezza in full force. This looks like a promising machine - for $200, you get what is essentially the Gaggia Coffee machine, but in a plastic body. Save $120 and go for this updated model, if you were considering the Baby, you may want to wait... the new "Evolution" model from Gaggia is coming.“

  „Up tap next for first looks are a Spidem machine, a coffee roaster (no, not the lost Hot Top), and machine in the Gaggia lineup. Then a whole whack more.“

  „It wasn't. During the 1950s, the spring/piston lever system first introduced by Gaggia was widely copied by other Italian espresso machine makers. The biggest problem with this gear was the inconsistency it allowed - the pressure, eventually raised to 9 atmospheres (130 psi) was directly dependent on the strength and "touch" of the barista. Faema changed all this in 1961 when they introduced their E61 Espresso machine.“

CoffeeKid - The Vacuum Brewer FAQ CoffeeKid - The Vacuum Brewer FAQ

  „This was the start of a long road that finally led to the mid 1940s when Gaggia first manufactured a reliable device that pushed water through superfinely ground coffee at pressures of 130PSI and higher. By comparison, a vacuum brewer probably only pulls water through a vac pot at maybe 1.5 times the pressure normal gravity provides.“
