Intro to the Gaggia Espresso - coffeecrew.com - victoria, b.c. canada (#)

„To pick one point of issue with the machine, from the lofty perspective that the Gaggia Espresso is already so very capable, would be to question the length of the steam wand. Designed to be long enough with the plastic turbofrother attached, Gaggia has thankfully made this crutch removable as they did for the pressurized filter insert. However, removing the frothing device to achieve what Gaggia is truly capable of results in an overly short and awkwardly bent wand that is difficult to manage. Those with a Classic, Baby, or possibly the Carezza will rejoice in that several owners have fitted Silvia steam wands to their Gaggias without much trouble.“

Gaggia Home Espresso Equipment - Gaggia Espresso, Gaggia New Coffee, Gaggia Classic, Gaggia Baby (#)

„in fact modern pump espresso machines were a Gaggia invention! I started pondering the merits of the Gaggia home equipment when I checked over their machines at the Specialty Coffee Association of America trade show (in fact I had been eyeballing the machines for years at the shows). What made me start to test them in my lab was the fact that their "low end" machines, starting at just $229, had a no-gimmick full-size commercial coffee handle, a pump that produced 17+ bars of pressure, and could make true 2 ounce double espresso with bucket-loads of crema. I could also get a fine ristretto from the machine modifying tamp and grind.“

The Story of the Bialetti Moka Express (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„At this time, other Italians were busy trying to create new and better ways to brew coffee-using pressure rather than steam to extract the best from the coffee bean. But the high pressure-lower than boiling water solutions of companies like Gaggia were to take years of developing. These modern “true” espresso machines would remain fairly large and costly, using complex systems to attain their superior results. (For a history of the refinement of espresso see www.coffeekid.com/espresso/nirvana ) Italians were still used to the steam pressured “espresso” machines that dominated the coffeehouse scene and were, therefore, open to simpler solutions that would give them the same style coffee at home.“

Coffee (#)

„Has a deep, removable drip tray which facilitates in clean up. Like the commercial machines that Gaggia began making decades ago, this machine demonstrates the company's care and concern for the quality of their products. Evidence of this is seen in the secure chrome-plated brass portafilter and other main components. The machine makes a smooth, bittersweet, delicious cup of espresso with a generous layer of golden brown crema.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)

„In 1948 Achille Gaggia introduced the first truly modern espresso machine. As Gaggia's design eventually evolved, the water tank was laid on its side and concealed inside a streamlined metal cabinet with lines like a Danish-modern jukebox. The simple valve of the old days was replaced with a spring-powered piston that pushed the water through the coffee harder and faster. The operator depressed a long metal handle.“

„She paused and gazed round at the pretty room with its brand-new furnishings and smart bed linen. And there were all the other new things downstairs, from the leather sofa to the widescreen TV and Gaggia coffee maker, plus of course this lovely home to put them in. Look at Roy and Hayley, still living with his parents, and here was she - and Will too, she supposed - with everything. And all in return for keeping that silly old goat happy once a week!“

„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.“

Gaggia Topazio - Espresso for the budget minded - coffeecrew.com - victoria, b.c. canada (#)

„Gaggia's Topazio is borne of a long line of budget-oriented espresso makers, like the Gran Gaggia. The 'toppy', as I have now nicknamed it, has some instant advantages: The toppy has a smaller boiler and a correspondingly economic heating plant. Power consumption, at 680 Watts (the boiler heater), is perfect for the cabin-cottage-RV crowd as well as students and those on the go.“

Mostly Italian Coffee (#)

„Earlier I had an low budget steam driven espresso machine with which I just barely could make a decent cup of espresso with very thin crema. I then bought a Gaggia Tebe and it was another ballpark altogether, thick delicous crema without any trouble at all. After seven years my trustworhy Gaggia now has earned retirement and I´ve replaced it with a Pavoni Europiccola. An advice!“

„The accessory is a rubber plate with a pin hole at the center and fit into the coffee holder. I tried and found there is really making more "crema" like froth but the customer service of Gaggia said this froth is just a fake. The "crema" I made with this device got a bigger bubble. Please comment if you know something about this "Perfect crema device", thanks.“

Schomer's Table@Lucidcafé (#)

„In 1947 the Gaggia company of Italy patented a spring piston device to achieve pressure without exposing the coffee to boiling water and the cream coffee, caffe espresso, was born. So our cuisine is only about 50 years old by my method of dating it. The lack of standard practice in espresso preparation is related to the short history of the espresso machine.“

CoffeeKid - July Musings and Detailed Reviews (#)

„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.“

Schomer's Table@Lucidcafé 16 (#)

„Machines of this type were made obsolete by a patent filed in 1946 by the Gaggia Company of Italy. I date the arrival of the caffe espresso on the world scene to this 1946 patent to create pressure with a spring piston assembly. Thus, temperature could be independently adjusted and we see the emergence of true espresso crema.“
