Gaggia 16103 Evolution Espresso Machine, Silver Review

This is not meant to be a complete review of this espresso maker.If you see my "So you'd like to make great espresso at home" guide, you'll find that I argue that Gaggia's are best espresso machines in the $100-$400 range, always besting anything made by Krups or other non-Italian manufacturers.In other words, this is a great espresso machine.

That said, Gaggia uses the identical internals on their Evolution, Carezza, Espresso, and Coffee de Luxe machines.The only differences are in the external "looks."I personally find the Evolution the most attractive, with the Carezza a close second, but you can form your own opinion by simply looking at the pictures.Why these models sell for different prices remains a mystery.In Europe, I have seen the Carezza typically cost the most, and the Evolution sell for the least.(For example, just check Amazon.co.uk.)In America, the Carezza usually sells for the least.If you're looking for the best value, consider the Carezza.

Product Description:
Combining advanced technology with classic form, this 1425-watt espresso machine features a high-power 55-watt pump and heavy-duty, commercial-grade materials for quality that goes beyond the exterior. The unit's high-wattage dual heating element boiler has a quick heat-up time, and its grouphead and portafilter are made of heavy-gauge chromed brass that allows for excellent temperature stability. To take the guesswork out of brewing cafe-style espresso at home, the machine offers simple fingertip controls, is approved for use with Illy pods, and includes all necessary "temperature ready" lights.
For added convenience, the unit's self-priming pump reduces prep time, and its Turbo Frother steam wand quickly froths milk. The machine's laterally removable water reservoir allows for easy filling or cleaning--simply slide it to the left and pour the water in. Other useful features include a large drip tray, a stainless-steel grill, vibration-resistant rubber mounts for stability, and a warming plate to accommodate cups. Two stainless-steel filter baskets (single and double shot), a coffee tamper, and a 7-gram measuring scoop are included, along with an instruction manual and a tutorial CD-ROM. Designed in Italy by Gaggia, one of the most respected names in the espresso industry, the machine measures 8-3/4 by 10-1/2 by 13-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
