Product Information

As always if you have any product queries please don't hesitate to get in touch and we'll be able to help. Notably, the espresso tended towards under-extraction, missing some of the rich, deep flavours that are extracted at the very end of the shot.

Ground Coffee Option: This allows you to brew a different blend of coffee without changing the beans in the dedicated container but using the ground coffee program.My main piece of advice here would be to avoid forcing the carafe into place if it doesn’t want to engage. Unlike many rival machines, though, you’re not limited to using beans alone: a small hatch on the Anima’s top allows you to use the provided scoop to brew a single serving of ground coffee if you get desperate. Looking for a wide range of home barista accessories, including tampers, milk jugs, knock out boxes, manual brewers, manual grinders, brew scales, and loads more? To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Plus, thanks to the carafe’s ingenious design, you don’t have to move your cup during drink preparation.

Scale is a normal consequence of using the machine, and it depends also on the quality of the water you use. This means that you can be a real barista and learn to steam and froth and texture the milk for a frothy cappuccino or a caffe latte or a flat white. We offer a fantastic range of carefully chosen, freshly roasted coffees, including stunning single origins and mega blends. Moreover, the integrated 100% ceramic grinders let you have freshly ground coffee at every use and preserve all the aromas. The machine alerts you when it is time to descale it and guides you step by step throughout messages on the display.Directly from the Gaggia tradition, the stainless steel steam wand is thought to make you relive, at home, the authentic barista rituals. All you need to do is​ to pour the milk into the milk carafe and press the button for the required milk drink.

I’m thinking of going from a nespresso machine to a bean to cup and have looked at various machines and makes. Thanks to its shape, you can use different kinds of milk jugs and always have an impeccable milk froth. If you’ve got it set to the 1 bean setting, at the factory defaults for espresso you’ll get 25g of coffee from 5g of beans, and from the lungo you’ll get 50g of coffee from 5g of beans. Once the descaling program is finished, rinse the water tank of your coffee machine with clean water. If you’re more a cappuccino kind of person, then the steam wand may prove a tad annoying: it’s rather short and doesn’t have a huge range of movement.

We offer a complimentary diagnostic service online, aiming to explore the potential for salvaging your existing machine. There are only two moans on the build quality front: the steam wand both looks and feels plasticky and cheap, and the adjustable dispense head also fails to inspire confidence.

The Gaggia Anima Prestige comes with a nice and quiet ceramic burr grinder with five adjustment settings.Many people are more than happy with the “ball park” results that you're likely to get with a bean to cup espresso machine straight out of the box, especially if they're mainly drinking milkies (cappuccino, latte, etc. Independent Business: We are a self-reliant business dedicated to maximizing the lifespan of coffee machines. Although there’s an optional automatic cleaning cycle after each use, you’ll need to take the thing apart for thorough cleaning.
