DESCRIPTION
Gaggia Carezza Deluxe is a semi-automatic espresso machine that allows you to operate as a professional barista. Gaggia Carezza Deluxe has a very traditional look with a rounded front and a retro-looking analog temperature dial. The exterior of the machine is mainly made of plastic materials while the front control plate and the cup warmer are made of stainless steel. The design and the materials used give the machine a very elegant appearance which makes it capable of combining in any domestic or professional environment. Gaggia Carezza Deluxe has a single dual-use boiler for heating water for preparing coffee and for producing steam. A 15 bar pump provides more than enough pressure to obtain quality extraction. The water tank has a capacity of 1.4 liters and is positioned behind the coffee stand.
Using Gaggia Carezza Deluxe
To prepare an espresso with Gaggia Carezza Deluxe, it is necessary to fill the supplied filter holder and hook it to the machine. Starting the machine activates the preheating function. Gaggia Carezza is equipped with a pre-infusion function aimed at moistening the ground coffee for a couple of seconds in the moments before the drink is dispensed. Gaggia Carezza Deluxe has 2 “perfect cream” filters respectively dedicated to the use of ground coffee for 1 or 2 cups and for the use of single-portion pods. The Pannarello steam wand is used to prepare the milk froth. the steam spout emits steam or hot water and is activated by means of the buttons on the front by turning the dial towards the type of function required.
Gaggia Carezza Deluxe Maintenance
Gaggia Carezza has an automatic rinsing system for the coffee circuit that starts when the machine is turned on and automatically turned off. The rinse cycle allows greater cleaning of the circuits and a longer life of the machine over time. The need to carry out a descaling cycle is automatically communicated by the machine through a specific alert.

I love this coffee machine however the coffee temperature is only between 50 and 60 degrees Celsius more than 10 degrees below the optimum. Does this mean my machine us faulty. Only had it for about three weeks

My wife didn’t want me to buy a coffee machine as she said you can never get the coffee hot, she has now changed her mind and has had her first piping hot coffee from a machine. Love it.
Pamela harvey –
Excellent. Makes fantastic Espresso etc. Easy to use and clean.

Started with Gaggia Classic some ten years ago, then onto Gaggia Baby (Top machine in Which survey) , then when that wore out, a brief unhappy flirtation with a Coffee Pod machine, now I ‘m back to Gaggia, and real Espresso coffee and Cappaccino’s. This Carezza Deluxe machine is an up date version of my first two Gaggia’s and produced a stunning coffee from the first try. I’m on day 5, and the coffee it makes at home is the equal of the specialist coffee bar, A bargain at the price

The best home made coffee I have ever produced and the machine is also great to look at.
Mrs. D. J. Harper (Bath England) –
Given as a Christmas present but I understand the recipient was very pleased with this machine
Maeve Barrans –
I had a little trouble initially inserting the water filter but after a little time and effort, the machine works very well and I am very happy with it.
Richard –
Superb product easy to use gives coffee with superb crema and the steam jet is powerful froth just like the shops
John Needham –
Did a lot of shopping around before buying this having had another Gaggia Espresso Deluxe for 15 troublefree years. Was delighted with the functionality (15 bar essential), style, price and delivery – all the way from Italy.
Fast delivery and good product –
Was looking to upgrade to a better espresso machine and Gaggia was recommended to me. So far this seems like a good choice, but the instructions are confusing and I’m still trying to figure out what the “rinsing” button does.
Katrina Orr –
Looks good and makes excellent coffee. Thought our previous machine was good but this gives a superb crema – a new home made coffee experience !
Adam Harris –
My first ‘proper’ coffee machine. I’ve had cheap ones in the past that just didn’t make good coffee. I was concerned that I would not be able to get this to work perfectly, but it is easy to use and right of the bat produced brilliant coffee. Further more, it looks really good as well. My mother, who has a very expensive Krupps machine is now looking to replace it with this one!

When my long-suffering Gaggia Classic finally gave up the ghost after many years of hard service, I decided to give this a try. My only reservation about the Gaggia Classic was its disappointing steam flow rate for steaming milk. I hoped that this would be better and I was not disappointed. The Carezza Deluxe is a great machine which has proved to be an all round improvement on the Classic – everything about it is better designed and it produces much more steam. It isn’t as robust as the Classic, so I don’t expect to get quite as many years of service out of it but I have no regrets about making the change. A great machine.
Sylvia Wells –
Extremely pleased with it, makes great coffee. The only one negative is that you cannot see the level of the water very easily.
E. A. Tranter “lool” (Jakes Mums Room) –
Fast delivery, especially as it came from Italy. Good product, as I would expect from Gaggia, and makes excellent coffee. Highly recommended

We have owned Gaggia coffee makers for over 20 years and this one is fantastic. The coffee is piping hot and the creamer works really well (we had to buy a taller milk jug as there is so much pressure, the milk really steams and froths high). If you are wanting an easy to use, good performing coffee maker, then look no further. We would highly recommend thiis Gaggia.
Iainf –
Very impressed. Makes perfect hot espresso. Simple and easy to use. I use my machine a lot. Would recommend highly to others.

Made few cappuccino’s so far and it is excellent! Happy with the purchase at this time, will see if it stands the test of time

I decided to go for a Gaggia after my previous machine packed up. I have had several espresso machines and consider myself to be reasonably serious about coffee. I prefer a manual machine as I think it leaves you in control of what you are making and allows you to tailor a cup of coffee exactly to your liking. I have only been using this for 4 days and it was very easy to get to grips with. In fact by cup 3 I had it spot on! It makes an excellent coffee with a superb crema. The Milk brother is the best I have come across and overall I think it bring excellent quality at a very affordable price. So far so good I am delighted with my choice!

I love my coffee Machine
j w forrest –
the gaggia coffee machine is easy to use and produces perfect coffee every time.
IK –
An excellent machine. I had a Baby Gaggia and decided to upgrade. It’s as quick and makes as good a coffee as the Baby but the water top up is slightly more difficult because you can’t easily see the water level. But overall seems to be great. Hope it’s a reliable machine. … time will tell.

I’ve had my Carezza for almost ten years and it is going strong, making my daily cappuccino as well now as it did when it was new. I highly recommend this work horse of coffee machine.
