The Gaggia Carezza is one of the company's "budget entry" espresso machines. It features many of the same parts found on other Gaggia machines.

Bottom Line: Hands down this is a professional machine for a discount price, spend the extra 30 bucks on a good tamper...

Bottom Line: For making a reasonable shot of espresso this machine is a bargain, it has already paid for itself, having kept me chain store free since I've had it.
