Gaggia, among the most popular Italian espresso manufacturers, uses commercial-grade parts in all their machines for consistently superb performance that will last for many years. The Espresso Deluxe GAESP BLK16002 features a 17.5 BAR pump and high-wattage boiler for quick heat-up and recovery between batches.

Two external heating elements ensure optimum brew temperature and, because they don't come in contact with the water, protect against corrosion and calcium build-up. You also get a 64-ounce clear water reservoir that removes for easy filling, commercial chrome plated brass Porta filter assembly, Turbo Frother, and built-in cup warmer.

A handy feature is the water-fill chamber, which lets you easily refill the water tank without disrupting the machine if subsequent batches are desired. You can use the Espresso Deluxe with pre-filled pods, but for best results, you should use ground espresso coffee. Once preheated, the unit dispenses either one or two shots of piping hot espresso in seconds and with an impressive layer of rich crema.

The three-button operation (On/Off, Brew, and Steam) is easy to master, even for a novice. A separate steam dial lets you utilize the frothing jet, which makes quick frothed milk for cappuccino. You can also use the steam knob to dispense hot water for tea or cocoa.

Also included in the Gaggi Espresso Deluxe GAESP BLK16002 package is a coffee tamper, a 7-gram coffee scoop, and an interactive CD-Rom tutorial that familiarizes owners with the features of the Gaggia machine.
