EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Gaggia Classic Pro Evo is priced at $449 and is designed for beginners, making it an accessible choice for those new to espresso making. In contrast, the Diletta Bello+ has a higher price point of $1899 and is geared towards intermediate users, offering more advanced capabilities for those with some experience.

Brewing Comparison

When it comes to brewing information, the Gaggia Classic Pro Evo uses a rocker switch for activation, has a heat-up time of 5-15 minutes, and features a single boiler system with a brew boiler capacity of 0.1 liters. On the other hand, the Diletta Bello+ utilizes a lever for activation, also has a heat-up time of 5-15 minutes, but employs a heat exchanger with no brew boiler capacity specified and a steam boiler capacity of 1.8 liters.

Features Comparison

In terms of features, the Gaggia Classic Pro Evo does not include auto shutoff, gauges for boiler or steam pressure, or pre-infusion, while it does offer hot water functionality and a steam wand. Conversely, the Diletta Bello+ includes a range of added features such as auto shutoff, both boiler and steam pressure gauges, pre-infusion capabilities, and a no-burn steam wand, making it suitable for more nuanced espresso preparation.
