EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Londinium R24, is positioned as an advanced semi-automatic espresso machine with a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $3,858. In contrast, Machine 2, the Gaggia Classic Pro Evo, caters to beginners and is significantly more affordable, with an MSRP of $449. This pricing disparity highlights the market segment each machine is targeting, indicating that the Londinium may appeal to more serious enthusiasts while Gaggia targets those new to espresso making.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Londinium R24 utilizes a lever activation system, features a copper boiler, and has a heat-up time between 15-30 minutes. The group type is a sprung lever, and it boasts a rotary pump facilitated by direct water connection. Conversely, the Gaggia Classic Pro Evo employs a rocker switch for activation, has a coated aluminum boiler, and reaches ready status in 5-15 minutes. Additionally, it relies on a single boiler and has a chrome-plated brass brew group, while its water source is a 2.1-liter reservoir.

Features Comparison

When it comes to key features, the Londinium R24 offers pre-infusion, concurrent brewing and steaming, and a manual steam wand, but lacks integrated gauges and PID controls. In comparison, the Gaggia Classic Pro Evo has a traditional steam wand and a solenoid valve, but does not include advanced features like flow control or concurrent brewing and steaming. Both machines share a lack of auto shutoff and PID controls, reflecting a basic feature set despite their distinct pricing and skill level orientations.
