Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Combining advanced technology with ease of use, this fully automatic espresso machine grinds the right amount of coffee, doses, and brews, all at the simple push of a button. The unit's innovative Espresso Plus System allows for adjusting the strength of coffee, from mild to strong intensity, making an infinite variety of coffee drinks possible from just one machine. Whether an Italian "ristretto" or a long coffee, it maintains a truly unique creamy finish. Its drip tray can be raised or lowered electrically with a simple touch, allowing the use of different cup sizes. Even more, the unit's 15-bar pump provides plenty of water pressure for authentic espresso extraction, while its stainless-steel rapid-steam boiler system reduces the time between coffee and steam delivery to just a few seconds. Its exclusive steamer swivels 180 degrees and produces hot water for tea, coffee, or instant soup, plus makes quick work of frothing milk for hassle-free cappuccino and lattes even a novice barista could master.
In addition, the espresso machine features a touch-screen digital LCD control panel with programming information and alerts, an 8-4/5-ounce bean hopper with adjustable ground-coffee dosage from 7 to 10-1/2 grams, and a built-in ceramic burr grinder with adjustable grind settings. Other highlights include a 57-ounce removable water reservoir, a pre-infusion option, an Aqua Prima water filter, a stainless-steel actively heated cup warmer, the ability to make two cups of coffee at the same time, a Gaggia Milk Island accessory connection, and a removable brewing unit for easy maintenance. Housed in impact-resistant ABS plastic with a stainless-steel-finished front panel, the attractive appliance will look great on any kitchen counter. Designed in Italy by Gaggia, one of the most respected names in the industry, the 1500-watt espresso machine measures 14-3/5 by 12-3/5 by 16-2/5 inches.

Revolving Frothing WandThe exclusive revolving frother is always ready to deliver hot water or steam for a menu of drinks such as lattes, cappuccinos, americanos, and more. Mounted on a ball joint, it accommodates any size pitcher and is easy to maneuver.

Ceramic Coffee GrinderThe ceramic burr coffee grinder assures quiet functioning, high performance, and a consistent grind each time. This grinder not only enhances the functions of the machine, but its ceramic construction ensures longevity and flavorful beverages.

Aqua Prima FilterThe Aqua Prima water filter was developed to remove impurities from your water.The result is fresh, clean-tasting coffee every time. The Aqua Prima water filter also reduces the formation of lime scale in the machine, protecting your boiler and brewing components.
