The Breville Duo Temp Pro is priced at $499.95 and is categorized as a semi-automatic espresso machine suitable for beginners. In contrast, the Gaggia Classic Pro Evo has a lower price point of $449 and also targets beginner users within the same semi-automatic category.

Brewing Comparison

For brewing information, the Breville Duo Temp Pro activates via a button and features a primary heating element made of thermoblock, with a heat-up time of less than 5 minutes. The Gaggia Classic Pro Evo utilizes a rocker switch for activation and employs a single boiler as its primary heating element, taking between 5 to 15 minutes to heat up. The water reservoir capacity of the Breville is 1.8 liters, while the Gaggia holds slightly more at 2.1 liters. Both machines use vibration pumps to deliver consistent pressure during brewing.

Features Comparison

In terms of key features, both machines lack automatic shutoff and pressure gauges, but they do provide hot water dispensing and have steam wands for frothing milk. The Breville model includes a pre-infusion feature, while the Gaggia does not. Additionally, the Gaggia Classic Pro features a solenoid valve for improved functionality. Both machines do not have integrated grinders or advanced PID controls, focusing on essential brewing capabilities for beginners.
