Gaggia Classic Evo Pro or Sage Bambino?

What actually differs between the Gaggia Classic Evo Pro and the Sage Bambino, and what that means for who you are.

What differs

  • The Bambino is €141.00 cheaper.
  • Both a portafilter machine: the same way of working.
  • Neither has a grinder. Budget for a separate one with both, and for a sum that comes close to the machine itself.
  • Milk works the same on both: with a steam wand you work yourself.
