Coffee Machines with Italian Flair

We all know that Italians love everything about coffee – as we can see in the names of many of the
nation’s favourite drinks. From espresso to latte to cappuccino, Italian flair is evident at every turn. And

one Italian’s legacy continues to be important to today’s current generation of coffee lovers, wherever
they may be in the world. Back in the 1930’s Achille Gaggia revolutionised the way that aromas are
extracted from ground coffee, allowing customers to experience the perfect Italian espresso, complete
with its unique ‘crema’ for the very first time. This same process provides the foundation of every latte
and cappuccino to this day.

A Legacy Over 80 Years in the Making

Achille Gaggia left behind a legacy that today comprises a complete suite of stunning machines, fit for any
location. From the statement style of La Reale – that oozes sophistication and demands to be the centre piece
of any chic coffee shop or hotel lounge – to the compact design of La Nera. La Nera might be small in size, but
still packs a punch in terms of its in-built functions and brewing capacity, with a robust style ideally suited to
busy restaurants or thriving cafés. In between, La Guista, La Precisa and La Decisa are high performing, value for
money machines that encompass many features which make the barista’s life easy but at a price point that will

suit any café owner juggling the high pressure demands of a busy shop while keeping operating costs to a
minimum. Soon to be launched, La Dea will be the perfect machine for any salon, boutique or boardroom
looking to offer the wow factor when serving coffee. Ideal for the amateur barista who wants to impress their
clients!

Putting the Barista in Control

With features including Dynamic Flow Control (to give the barista the ultimate
control over their flavour profile), temperature stability,
ergonomic levers and cool touch steam wands, the Gaggia
range has been designed with the barista in mind.

Perfection at Every Angle

Crafting an amazing coffee is as much about the grind as
the machine. A good understanding of calibrating a
grinder and measuring an espresso dose is fundamental
to ensure you’re always serving the best tasting espresso.
