The transcript doesn't detail the specific shortcomings of the Gaggia Classic Evo's milk frothing. It only mentions that milk frothing "didn't work perfectly." More specific information about the issues encountered is not provided.
This video reviews four popular espresso machines priced under €500. The reviewers test the machines' build quality, espresso extraction, and milk frothing capabilities, ultimately identifying two superior models and two that underwhelmed. A giveaway of all four machines to the viewers is also announced.
Gaggia Classic Evo: This machine produced the best espresso in the test, boasting excellent build quality and a standard 58mm portafilter. However, its milk frothing capabilities were less impressive.
Solis Barista Granuto: This machine offers excellent value for money, outperforming the Sage in several aspects despite a similar price point. Its 58mm portafilter is also a plus.
Sage The Bambino: While compact and visually appealing, its build quality was perceived as somewhat cheap, and the unusual 54mm portafilter proved inconvenient. Milk frothing performance was adequate.
Lelit Anna: Though aesthetically pleasing with an attractive design, this machine received criticism for several design flaws, including a poorly designed water tank and a 57mm portafilter. Its espresso quality was also deemed inferior to others tested.
