Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Gaggia 35008 Carezza Espresso Machine, Silver
Customer Review: Makes great lattes, but is a bit messy
Summary: 5 Stars
Just got mine. It's a silver model even though I ordered a gray (almost black) model from someone other than Amazon. Do yourself a big favor and order it from Amazon. If you have been using a blade grinder, throw it away and buy a nice burr grinder. I bought a Baratza Maestro and it made a world of difference, even when making "regular" coffee. Trust me on this! The Carezza is pretty neat. It looks good and makes great lattes. However, it is a bit messy using the frother. See it tucked neatly back in the picture? It doesn't do that in reality. Also, it dribbles occasionally and you should do a purge of any water that collected before you froth. It's going to go on the counter, but it's only water. The frother (the black plastic thing) has a few components and a couple are small. Don't wash them in the sink or they may disappear down the drain. Water fills from a door on the top. I use a measuring cup, but it can get splashy as the Carezza is rather tall. Lastly the space between the Portafilter and the drip tray is ony 2.5 inches. Get some shot cups (I use) or a low demitasse or latte cup to catch the brew. Other than that, it works great and makes great lattes when you get the hang of it. To help you, Gaggia gives you a manual which is pretty complete, but kind of weird to read. Plus you get a tutorial CD, which tells you how to use the Carezza (and several of their upscale models). It came in handy after reading the manual. The water tank is easy to check, but the Power and Ready LEDs are bit hard to see. If you jump out of bed and make a brew, put in your eye drops and grab your readers and you will be fine. I was mightily impressed by the output of my Carezza. Buy one before the dollar sinks any lower. These Italians know their coffee business!
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
