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 Odyssey Argos comes with a higher price tag of $850 and is targeted at intermediate users who are looking for more advanced features and control. Both machines are constructed with stainless steel, emphasizing durability and quality.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Gaggia Classic Pro Evo utilizes a rocker switch for activation and features a coated aluminum boiler with a brew boiler capacity of 0.1 liters. The Argos employs a lever activation and has a larger brew boiler capacity of 0.6 liters, made from stainless steel. Both machines have a single boiler system and a 58mm portafilter size; however, the Gaggia has a longer heat-up time of 5-15 minutes compared to the Argos's under 5 minutes. The Gaggia's water reservoir has a capacity of 2.1 liters, while the Argos draws directly from a reservoir with no specified capacity.

Features Comparison

Looking at their key features, the Gaggia Classic Pro Evo lacks auto shutoff, boiler pressure gauge, and PID control, but includes a steam wand and hot water function. The Odyssey Argos, on the other hand, offers auto shutoff, PID control with degree precision, and a flow control feature, enhancing its versatility. While both machines have a steam wand, the Argos includes additional functionalities like pre-infusion and a shot timer. The Gaggia features a solenoid valve, which the Argos does not include, highlighting a difference in their engineering focus.
