Customer Review: "Professional" bang for your "Amateur" bucks.
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow -- ordered this baby when my Krups Gusto bailed on me and a coworker recommended the brand and distributor (I did not order direct from Amazon, but rather from a company based in Oregon that offered free shipping and no sales tax...). I have NOT looked back since -- except to bemoan my lack of measuring forethought; the Carezza was too tall to fit under my 1936-era kitchen cabinets. Its size, especially compared to the aforementioned Krups, has been the only hurdle. Other than that, I am completely impressed and satisfied with the sturdy construction (marine brass innards, people!), power (more bars of pressure than machines over twice the price!), and overall quality (rich, crema-topped heaven) of this Italian Stallion. It even made the move overseas in style -- pulled it out of the crate, started it up, and after 2 months in transit/storage, it performed like a dream. I am a Gaggia convert.
Description of Gaggia 35008 Carezza Espresso Machine, Silver
The Gaggia Carezza is one of the hottest products in the low $200 price range. No other espresso manufacturer will bring you the pump power, heating capacity, brass components and pure results at this price. Hi-tech performance combined with simplified fingertip control takes the guesswork out of making delicious espresso and cappuccino at home or in the office. Each cup will be creamy, tasty, robust and rich with flavor. Gaggia is in the process of rolling out a new Turbo-Frother wand replacing the metal frothing wand and sleeve. Your Gaggia may have shipped with the Turbo-Frother wand or the frothing wand. Both are designed to help you get great froth with minimum fussEspresso Machines
