Gaggia Coffee Machines

The market for coffee machines in Russia is represented by more than 4 dozen different manufacturing companies:

• Philips
• Bosch;
• Gaggia;
• De’Longhi;
• Polaris
• KitchenAid etc.

Of all the companies represented, Italian Gaggia cars, despite the extremely competitive quality and reasonable price, are not the sales leaders in our region. The reasons for this are most likely hidden in an unsuccessful marketing company in the Russian Federation and the CIS countries.

Features of the Gaggia coffee maker

The Gaggia coffee maker is a device with a friendly and simple interface that has a minimal and, at the same time, a sufficient set of parameters and functions for making real strong coffee.

Based on the many reviews of Gaggia coffee brewing machines, it’s possible to conclude: the devices, despite the apparent fragility, are capable of long and high-quality service, taking into account decent personal care.

What to look for when choosing

The main criteria for choosing any coffee maker are the following characteristics:

1. Number of cooking modes and their automation: espresso, latte, cappuccino, etc.
2. The power of the machine is how quickly the coffee brews.
3. The presence of a built-in coffee grinder.
4. Coffee pot capacity - an indicator of the maximum possible volume of brewed coffee.
5. Various control functions: temperature, water level and activity of the coffee maker, coffee strength, grinding modes in the presence of a coffee grinder, etc.

In addition, the material of the body and tips is important: preference should be given to metal options. To some extent, the disadvantage is the lack of a drip system for all Gaggia models, as well as the rare presence of metal models. Also, in almost all models there is no pressure gauge to control the pressure of the pump.
