Great coffee should be available to everyone. Gaggia's Topazio espresso-cappuccino maker and partner grinder, the Gaggia MM, bring cafe style espresso based drinks within the reach of virtually everyones budget.
The technicians at the CoffeeCrew gladly accepted a sample from EspressoTec - Vancouver, Canada to run this combo through our stringent test lab. As usual, our benchmarking gear is a Rancilio Silvia machine and a Rancilio Rocky grinder.
The Topazio and MM Grinder are well packaged for coast to coast travel; double boxed and styro-padded to death! Usually my biggest hassle when testing gear is getting the stuff out of the box. Gaggia is no exception. It is wrapped to survive the most abusive courier, good thing I guess. The Topazio comes with instructions, warranty card and all the bits, pieces and accessories to get started right away. Sorry, you have to provide the coffee and water!
