Customer Review

This will be of course no comparison between two portafilter machines. It would also be pointless, because my Saeco Magic Cappuccino is no longer produced and their successors are as the Gaggia models medium while the family of Philips.

However, I used the good part, which already has under his belt many years, as a reference in my assessment. Both are portafilter models with Pannarello to froth milk.

Both, to get to the first criterion, make cycling in the preparation of espresso and a fortiori of cappuccino. But the rumble and hiss is simply a must.

The design of this model is Gaggia, as the name implies, a classic. And rightly so, the Saeco works as being too cumbersome and is also a lot wider. However, the narrow shape at a price.

The water tank is located behind the drip tray. To get him to empty out, so the cup has to be removed. When pushing in is necessary to observe the correct position of the water hoses. This is better resolved by a lateral water tank at the Saeco. The filling of fresh water is simple when Gaggia from above.

The drip tray is made of thin material. While the top of stainless steel is still very presentable, the underlying disk made of thin brown plastic looks ugly. But you can do without them without further notice.

When preparing the first espresso I'm desperate, almost at the sluggishness of the portafilter. I had to hug the machine literally, to bring the thing into the right position. On the way out turning the same game from the other side. I was quite disappointed and can well understand that many buyers send back such an unstable skidding machine. However, patience is worthwhile. After a few days, the filter holder was much easier to install and the machine needed only a small pats on, so she stopped on the spot. I expect that after another week also eliminates these calming measure.

The filter carrier itself is quite heavy and has a very long handle, which is due to the design. However, this design not at all equivalent to that the two Ausgußnippel plastic are. Why not you stay with the original design?

Much plastic also surrounds the PANNARELLO which produces but from the soymilk very ordinary FOAM used by me. The steam intensity is fairly regulated. Foaming is carried out in a matter of seconds. This works much better here than in my old Saeco. For this, however, this creates a much thicker CREMA on the Espresso. The taste is impeccable in both machines. Pads I do not use.

Finally, it should be pointed on the 80 cm right short cable as it is, however, connected via a connector to the device, you can replace it with a longer it without any problems.

CONCLUSION:
Gaggia Classic RI9403 When / 11 is the new edition of a classic design, its beautiful details are now run partly unfortunately in plastic. After a sluggish adjustment period he makes regular espresso and very good milk froth.
