From the country that is known for fine espresso, Gaggia espresso machines are some of the finest espresso machines in the world. Achille Gaggia (Gah-jah) introduced and patented the first pump-driven espresso machine in 1938 and has continued to develop quality espresso machines ever since. Because Gaggia espresso brewers are crafted using commercial grade components producing exceptional espresso, cappuccino, and latte drinks with ease, they dominate nearly half of the espresso machine market in Italy today.
The Gaggia Classic sets a standard for home espresso machines, offering elegant style combined with commercial-grade construction in stainless steel housing. It has a heavy duty portafilter handle and brew group forged of chrome-plated brass and a 17.5 bar pump. The Gaggia Classic features an improved turbo frother steam wand adapter and powerful high-wattage boiler that make frothing a snap so that even a novice can create creamy froth for the perfect cappuccino or latte. A commercial-grade 3-way solenoid valve was added to the Gaggia Classic which relieves pressure following the brewing process, eliminating soupy leftover coffee grounds and yielding a solid puck that can be removed with one knock. Other features include a 72 oz. removable water reservoir and a cup warming surface. You can use either fine ground coffee grounds or E.S.E. style espresso pods.
The Gaggia Titanium is a super-automatic espresso machine built to brew to the standards of high-minded espresso lovers. Not only can this machine grind, tamp, and brew automatically, but it is one of the only espresso machines to include an automatic frothing attachment to make cappuccinos and lattes with ease. The Titanium’s programming options give you the ability to customize your drink from volume to strength to temperature. Unlike many home espresso machines, the Titanium features two boilers to eliminate wait-time between brewing and steaming, making it one of the most popular choices for households with lots of coffee drinkers or guests.
Other espresso machine models from Gaggia you may want to consider for home use are the Academia, Brera, Platinum Vision, Platinum Swing Up, Platinum Swing, Platinum Vogue, Platinum Event, and Syncrony Logic.
Once you mastered how to make coffee with your Gaggia espresso machine, you will be able to make espresso, cappuccino, or latte drinks easily that beat the local café hands down. All Gaggia espresso machines now include a 2-year warranty, with the first year covering both parts and labor, and the second year includes coverage for parts.
