Machine Overview

The Gaggia Classic Pro Evo is priced at $449 and is ideal for beginners, making it a suitable choice for those new to espresso. In contrast, the Xenia Espresso Dual Boiler comes at a higher price point of $2,500 and targets intermediate users who have some experience with espresso preparation. Both machines are classified as semi-automatic and feature stainless steel construction.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Gaggia Classic Pro Evo has a rocker switch for activation and utilizes a single boiler with a heat-up time of approximately 5-15 minutes. Its brew boiler capacity is 0.1 liters with a water reservoir capacity of 2.1 liters. On the other hand, the Xenia Espresso Dual Boiler operates with a button activation, featuring a dual boiler system with a larger brew boiler capacity of 0.3 liters. Its water reservoir capacity is slightly lower at 2 liters, but it also aligns with a similar heat-up time of 5-15 minutes.

Features Comparison

When looking at key features, the Gaggia Classic Pro Evo lacks advanced monitoring tools like a boiler pressure gauge but does include a steam wand and hot water functionality. Conversely, the Xenia Espresso Dual Boiler offers several advanced features, including boiler and steam pressure gauges, PID control, and a shot timer, enhancing user control and precision. While both machines are equipped with a solenoid valve and a steam wand, the Xenia's additional capabilities cater to users looking for a more sophisticated brewing experience.
