Key Features

• Retro Italian Styling
  The Gaggia Carezza De LUXE features a retro design that brings a nostalgic touch to any kitchen. The classic Italian styling is a standout feature, blending form and function in a timeless package.

• Built-in Temperature Gauge
  A built-in temperature gauge provides a real-time readout of the boiler temperature, ensuring you're always brewing at the optimal temperature. The boiler heats up quickly, making the machine ready to brew within moments of powering on—ideal for those with busy schedules.

• Automated Pre-Infusion
  The Carezza's automated pre-infusion function evenly soaks your coffee grounds before complete extraction. This process helps maintain temperature consistency and enhances the coffee's flavour profile extraction, resulting in a more balanced and flavorful shot.

• Crema Perfetta Portafilter
  The machine's Crema Perfetta double-walled pressurized portafilter is designed to create thick, velvety crema. It works seamlessly with ESE pods and ground coffee, making it a versatile option for those who want to enjoy quality espresso without needing a grinder. Tamping isn't required, but a light can improve your shots, as our tests found.
