Customer Review: Excellent espresso -not so great foam
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very anxious about choosing the wrong espresso machine, as this was a large luxury purchace for me. Last year (after reading dozens or reviews) I choose this Gaggia and have been extremly pleased with it. I can't stress how important it truly is to get a good burr grinder to go along with it, the quality of my shots went up enormously. I started out getting the coffe bar down the street grind my Stumptown beans, but it was tricky working with the barista to get the grind just right. Once that was down I noticed my espresso tasted much better the day the beans were ground, so I was constantly running back and forth chasing the perfect shot. After a few weeks I brooke down and bought an economy grinder (Leilo). To my dismay, you apparently can't skimp on a grinder and expect a good espresso grind. I exchanged it for the more expensive Capresso and my shots are now always great. The complaint the other reviewers had about the frothing wand is 100% accurate, it is way to short and awkward. My husband bought me one of those hand-held frothing wands to make lattes, and suprisingly it actually works pretty darn well. I too agree that the quality of espresso more than makes up for this machines steaming drawback.
Description of Gaggia 16001 Espresso Cappuccino Machine, White
The Gaggia Espresso is a great choice for an espresso machine in the low $200 price range. No other espresso maker 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 fuss. Includes two stainless steel filter baskets (one and two shot), coffee tamper and 7g measuring scoop.Espresso Machines
