Gaggia Milano is one of the most iconic Italian brands, which revolutionized the way we brew espresso. Way back in 1938, Achille Gaggia, the founder of Gaggia Milano developed a system to control the coffee extraction process with high precision, no longer using steam. It has since become the hallmark of Quality Italian espresso, characterized by the ever-so-notable soft layer of marvelous “crema naturale”. Further, thanks to tireless effort towards development, this espresso culture spread in coffee bars around the world really quickly. At present, the company, in sync with its unique history and values, offers a wide range of automatic and traditional coffee machines for both commercial or home use. It combines state-of-the-art technology, sophisticated design, and professional details to satisfy the needs of all espresso lovers. Now available in South Africa, celebrate the art of brewing a great cuppa coffee with Gaggia!
Gaggia’s Anima Prestige is a completely Italian manufactured super-automatic machine made for the home coffee addict. The bean-to-cup machine is kitted with backlit buttons that are well suited to its perfected design.
The Anima Prestige boasts one-touch specialty espresso drink capability, which skips manual steaming and froths milk for you via an integrated milk carafe. The carafe is dishwasher safe and can be stored in the fridge for clean and easy usage. The Prestige is much more versatile than the standard Anima thanks to it's specified capability to produce an airy cappuccino foam as well as a silky latte milk. Like the rest of the Anima line, the Prestige’s espresso spouts are high enough to brew into a travel mug. Brews are customizable, with the facility of adjusting grind, coffee strength and even coffee temperature settings. The innovative Gaggia Adapting System, learns how fast to spin those ceramic burrs and how hard to tamp for the first fifteen brews for revolutionary results in your cup. Another important upgrade is the programmable pre-infusion, which pre-soaks the ground coffee, ensure the coffee is all fully saturated prior to extraction, resulting in maximum performance espresso extractions.
The Prestige also utilizes an integrated milk carafe to froth milk twice before dispensing it to ensure ideal temperature and texture. For easy and hygienic cleaning, it runs through an automatic rinse cycle to purge-away any milk residue for minimal maintenance. The carafe can be stored in the refrigerator when not in use, filled with milk and ready to be clicked-in for your next cup.
The Anima Prestige is as easy to maintain as it is to use, with maintenance alert indicators, automated descaling cycles, and Gaggia’s legendary removable brew group, which can be easily removed and rinsed under tap by hand. Additionally, you can install a Mavea Intenza water filter in the Anima’s 1.8 L water reservoir to preserve your coffee’s taste and the machine’s longevity even more.
