The machine also occasionally seems to require a few presses of a button to actually respond: it’s a quirky little thing. As I’ve mentioned a couple of times already, this machine is not entirely free from a learning curve, but making coffee with the Gaggia Carezza is far from a complicated endeavour.

The brew path (the pipes from the tank to the group), the group itself, the portafilter and the cup, will all be stone cold, so if you pull a shot when it's just heated up, the temperature will be zapped as it's brewing. We actively give help and advice in these circumstances and can provide access to spare parts and drawings. Something else I really like about it is the availability of the compatible proper, traditional portafilter, or bottomless portafilter if you prefer.
