MILAN, Italy – No brand represents the tradition of Italian espresso coffee as well as Gaggia does. This launch brings to life the link between tradition, constant innovation to achieve the best espresso coffee experience and the most avant-garde technology to ensure that all parameters are under control in the process of making each cup of coffee.
The new traditional espresso coffee machine Gaggia La Vetro, and its premium version Gaggia La Vetro Pro, boast an elegant and modern design with detailed finishes that adapt to the decoration of any establishment.
What’s more, it works in a way which is handy and secure, and its touch-sensitive intuitive interface is really practical, with backlit dials and buttons that are easy to use. Built-in PID temperature control offers advantages such as ensuring that coffee is highly consistent and allowing the desired water temperature to be adjusted for different kinds of tea.
These are energy-efficient models as their software includes an eco-friendly mode and their boiler is insulated so as to reduce energy consumption. Maintenance of these models is also straightforward, as their panels are easy to remove, meaning that users can get into them quickly. 95% of the contact surface with the user is tempered glass too, which is an elegant, durable and recyclable material that is easy to wash and keep clean with any cleaning or disinfection product.
Sustainability has also been one of the main objectives of this machine, as recyclable parts based on the circular economy model and environmentally-friendly packaging have been used.
Gaggia La Vetro can be easily customised on the sides of the machine. It is available in 2 and 3 group heads, as well as in 2 and 3 Tall Cups group heads, and comes in 2 colours (black and white). Its insulated and backlit capacitive buttons offer 4 direct selections and 1 continuous button in each group head.
As well as the backlit working area, there is 1 hot water outlet and 2 adjustable steam outputs (10 mm ⌀) with a quarter turn tap mechanism. The group head solenoid valves are hidden behind the front panel, which includes a standard rail in addition to resistant and non-slip supports.
Other advanced optional features can also be added to this machine, such as a cup warmer, boiler insulation, filter holder kits for various capsule formats and Smartia (the smart connectivity solution that allows users to control the machine remotely).
What’s more, with Gaggia La Vetro Pro it is possible to add other options such as Autosteam (electronic steam wand with temperature control to optimise the result of espresso coffee drinks with milk), LED on side panels with 16 colour settings and Mixed Water (which allows users to choose the water temperature by mixing water from the boiler and mains water).
In addition to all the advantages and features mentioned above, in the premium model, Gaggia La Vetro Pro, hot water can be measured out with a capacitive button and an innovative 2.8” TFT display.
The display offers information about the machine parameters and allows users to configure various functions such as language selection, programmable switch-on and switch-off, coffee and tea service meter, control of any times that self-cleaning is activated, parametrization and display of the boiler temperature, monitoring of warnings to change the water filter, meter for total litres consumed, activation of eco mode to keep the boiler temperature at minimum consumption, indication that dispensing has been properly completed in the established time, monitoring of inner parts and monitoring of the last 10 alarms recorded.
It boasts a highly intuitive display that takes the features of the machine to the next level for establishments that strive for excellence when making espresso coffee with a traditional machine from the iconic Gaggia brand.
Quality Espresso invites all professionals from the world of coffee to GUEXT, the new exhibition of suppliers and services for the hospitality sector, which will take place in Madrid from 18 to 21 October 2024.
