Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Lelit Grace, is priced at $652 and is designed for beginners, while Machine 2, the Gaggia Classic Pro Evo, is more budget-friendly at $449 and also targets beginner users. Both machines belong to the semi-automatic type, making them accessible for individuals new to espresso making, but they come from different brands, Lelit and Gaggia.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Lelit Grace features a brass boiler, a brew boiler capacity of 0.3 liters, and a heat-up time ranging from 5 to 15 minutes, while the Gaggia Classic Pro Evo has a coated aluminum boiler with a smaller brew boiler capacity of 0.1 liters, also taking 5 to 15 minutes to heat up. Both machines utilize a vibration pump, but the Lelit has a 57mm portafilter compared to the Gaggia's 58mm portafilter. Additionally, both machines have a similar water reservoir capacity, with Lelit at 2.5 liters and Gaggia at 2.1 liters.

Features Comparison

When it comes to key features, the Lelit Grace is equipped with auto shutoff, PID control, and a pre-infusion feature, providing greater precise control over brewing. In contrast, the Gaggia Classic Pro Evo lacks PID control and features like auto shutoff and a shot timer but does include a solenoid valve and hot water functionality. Both machines come with steam wands but lack integrated grinders; however, specific aspects such as gauges and smart connectivity substantially differ between the two.
