This video compares the Gaggia Classic Pro and Breville Bambino Plus espresso machines, focusing on their design, accessories, espresso brewing differences, milk frothing capabilities, value, and overall recommendation. The reviewer highlights the trade-off between espresso quality and ease of use.
The Gaggia Classic Pro uses a boiler heating system, while the Bambino Plus uses a thermal coil system. Boilers generally provide more stable temperatures, but the Gaggia Classic Pro lacks a PID (proportional-integral-derivative controller) for precise temperature management, leading to temperature fluctuations. The Bambino Plus, in contrast, has both a PID and a pre-infusion feature for more consistent temperature control during brewing.
