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!

Happy that it can make actual Americano… but would have been nice to be able to select double shot.
Biggest let down though is the bean hopper, very small compared even to the Gaggia Brera I owned before this. It is very easy to spill beans into the groves utilized by the aroma lid which then prevents it from sealing properly. Last niggle is that I am unable to really distinguish between Medium and High temperature settings… both feels pretty much the same as previous machine.
Aside from that, coffee tastes good and is easy enough to set up and use.

Very Nice Coffee Machine, it took some learning and figuring out. But that’s what coffee is all about.
