Gaggia Magenta Prestige Super-Automatic Espresso Machine Black

Product Information

The original Accademia was known for being built like a tank and being a real workhorse, often used by busy offices which really should have installed a commercial machine! From what I can tell, they've not changed anything internally which will make this updated model any different in that regard. For more information on how to properly clean your espresso machine, read the article “ How to Clean an Espresso Machine? “. Very simple memory option – you're asked every time you make a change if you'd like to save the changes to that coffee This was until Mr. Gaggia cleverly flipped that into a positive, and coined the phrase “Crema” which was marketed as a positive byproduct of this new (at the time) espresso-making technology.

Any Gaggia Magenta Prestige review worth its salt has to take the competition into account, even if some of its adversaries are from the same manufacturer. Let’s see how our compact friend measures up in comparison to some other bean to cup machines. Gaggia Magenta Prestige vs Magenta Milk The one touch coffees it'll make, very simply from the tap of a screen, are espresso (single or double), ristretto, coffee, Americano, lungo, cafe au lait, latte, latte macchiato, cappuccino, cappuccino XL, flat white, melange, cortado & macchiatone. You can also select one-touch steamed milk or one-touch textured milk (at your preferred texture setting) to make your own drinks or use the pro steam wand.

CONCLUSION

Once you’ve completed a manual rinse cycle, you’re ready to start making coffee! If you’ve never used a super automatic espresso machine, don’t be alarmed. I say that because preparing your favorite specialty drinks really is a one button affair. Still, you’ll most likely spend a little time dialing in your settings, but that’s half the fun! Drink Preparation Before using the Gaggia Magenta Prestige for the first time you’ll need to jump through a few hoops. However, there’s nothing overly complicated about setting up the machine. In other words, it won’t be long before you’re able to start having fun. When you want to clean the drip tray, put the tablet into the tray, fill two thirds of it with hot water, wait 30 minutes and carefully clean it.

Being able to decide on the strength of your coffee from the standard single shot of 7g, up to 11g I do think is a good feature, and it's very simple to toggle between these three by simply turning the dial to either 1 bean (7g), 2 bean (9g) or 3 bean (11g).

To get the best results, watch the dedicated video in the HOW TO section and read these suggestions: You can pull a double shot with the Besana, but only by pressing the button twice. With the Naviglio, you can set it to pull a double shot. It doesn't do it by grinding double the amount of coffee and then pulling the shot in one, it grinds and pulls a single shot and then does it again, so not really a huge amount of difference to using the Besana really in this regard, it's just that you don't have to press the button twice. The water tank is at the side, so you don't have to remove the drip tray to fill it, and you don't have to pull the machine out from under wall cupboards to access the top of the machine.

When your home-brewed coffee tastes and smells just as good as the one you’d get at an Italian café, there’s no other way around it: a Gaggia bean-to-cup coffee machine is guaranteed to be behind it.

It doesn't have a grinder bypass for pre-ground coffee beans as the Brera and other Gaggia bean to cup coffee machines have, and it doesn't have multiple strength settings either, which are the main features that separate this machine from the slightly more expensive Gaggia bean to cup coffee machines. The Anima Deluxe has all of the features of the base level semi-auto anima, but with the cappuccinatore to handle the milk for you instead of the steam wand.

The standard version is the cheapest, and has a steam wand for the milk (usually a Panarello, but you can pull this off to use the steam pipe as a steam wand). There is another version of this that has the pro steam wand, the Cadorna Barista Plus, it has nearly all of the features of the Magenta Plus including the pro Steam wand plus the four user profiles and the Ristretto option. If you’re anything like me, there comes a time in the day when you reluctantly have to admit that consuming more caffeine would be a bad decision. I won’t try to convince you that cleaning the Gaggia Magenta Prestige is fun. Still, I can reassure you that keeping this machine in tip top condition doesn’t take too much hard work. Speaking of specialty drinks, the Gaggia Magenta Prestige has you covered, with more than enough options to keep things interesting. The menu offers 12 beverages including cappuccino, flat white and cortado; all of which are fully customizable.Firstly, most bean to cup machine users aren't going to do much with the grind settings anyway, I know from speaking to people who use bean to cup coffee machines that most people just leave it at whatever it was factory set to, and never change it. The one thing that would possibly lead me to spend a little bit more on the Gaggia if I'm honest, is simply that I know that Gaggia Direct supply and service them, so you can get good old fashioned support on the phone or online if you need it. These two options are the cappuccinatore option (usually these versions are referred to simply as either “deluxe” or “milk”, and the carafe versions which are usually referred to as either “prestige” or “one touch”. With Gaggia Magenta, you can easily prepare and customize your favorite drinks: all settings are displayed on the same screen.
