Gaggia Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine - The Espresso Deluxe - Black
A long time favorite in the espresso world, Gaggia has garnered a well deserved reputation for quality, performance, and reliability no matter what price you pay for one of their machines. In 1938 Achilles Gaggia patented the process that married an electronic pump to an espresso machine. This revolutionized the process of making espresso and rendered the piston (manual) espresso machine that was common at that time obsolete practically overnight. Mr. Gaggia is considered by many to be the father of the modern day pump espresso machine. Even after six decades, Gaggia is still the leading brand of espresso and coffee machines in Italy. The reason for this continued dominance is Gaggia's commitment to the quality of the product that it produces and their sustained durability. The key to obtaining fine cafe quality espresso and espresso based drinks like lattes and cappuccino is to have the right tools. It takes a powerful pump, commercial grade components, powerful boiler, and a little know-how. Well, Gaggia provides the tools, and you provide the know-how. Speaking of that, unique to Gaggia is the fact that they provide a fully interactive and ground breaking CD ROM to teach you everything you need to know about your Gaggia, and it's included with most models. After a little time with the CD instruction, you will be pouring out espresso drinks like the Pros.
For price sensitive shoppers who are seeking a great cup of quality espresso, the Gaggia Espresso de Luxe is the perfect solution. Boasting a hefty commercial style portafilter and brew group, this machine refuses to back down from the bigger competition. And backing these components up with its 55-watt pump and boiler that contains two heating elements for superb heat distribution and quick recovery time, it doesn’t have to. More reasons for this machine to stand tall include its automatic frothing attachment, which allows for “instantly” frothed milk, Turbo-Frother frothing wand (a patented Gaggia exclusive) and a single shot filter basket that is ESE certified for use with pods. Top this off with easy to use controls and a solid ABS plastic housing, and you have a top contender in the semi-automatic espresso machine category.
