Gaggia RI8760/18 Anima Automatic Bean to Cup Coffee Machine – Black, Stainless Steel, 1850 W

Product Information

Partiamo con il dire che ho impostato la macinatura sulla più fine e massima quantità di caffè con temperatura max.

If you’re looking for a straightforward, well-designed fully automatic espresso machine that won’t break the bank, this Gaggia Anima Prestige review is for you. The clear, uncluttered LCD display is accompanied by six clearly labelled buttons, and if you delve into the menus you can choose between five strengths of coffee, three temperature settings, and customise the amount of water used for the two coffee modes. For example, you can check whether the sensors are working correctly, move the brewing unit to work or home position, check the pump, check heating of the boiler and working of the grinder etc. The Brera has 3 bean options, one bean is roughly 7g (depending on the coffee beans, roast profile and grind size), two bean is 9g, and three bean is 11g. Thanks to the elegant design features with several steel details, Gaggia Anima is a treat for the palate as for the eyes, allowing you to create your own tailor-made espresso.Receive hand picked recommendations each month from our entire range to enjoy yourself or to use as the perfect gift for that someone special in your life. What I find especially satisfying about the design of the automatic milk frothing system on this machine is that it saves a lot of space. These cookies help provide information on metrics the number of visitors, bounce rate, traffic source, etc. Then again, I guess the Anima Prestige espresso machine does present a kind of 80s arcade game vibe, which gives it retro-chic bonus points! If you've decided that a bean to cup machine is for you, then of course the next decision is, which bean to cup machine to go for.

I tend to pour hot water into the glass cup, give it a few seconds to warm up, empty that, and then pull the shot into the glass cup.

I had to remove the milk jug with the steam still flowing, while I ran to grab the manual, only to read that the way to turn off the steam (and the hot water) is to press the aroma strength button, which I mentioned earlier has the tick icon. Still, just because there are limited options on the menu doesn’t mean you can’t create your own specialties. The one thing to note about the grinder hopper is that there's no rubber seal around the lid as there is with the Brera, which means two things.So easy to use and maintain, the puck bin holds a decent amount of used grounds before needing emptied out and the water tank is a good size meaning you aren’t refilling it every five minutes.

This means that you need to pull the machine right out on the countertop to get a good view of what’s going on inside your steaming jug – which isn’t always ideal if you have the machine positioned further back on a kitchen counter. It is possible to adjust the grinder settings by pushing and rotating the knob inside the coffee beans container with the grinder adjustment key (end of the measuring spoon), one notch at at time, and only when the machine is grinding. This automatic coffee machine will fit right at home in your kitchen or office, is easy to use and will bring the best out of your freshly roasted whole coffee beans. Thanks to its slim profile and integrated milk carafe, the Anima Prestige has a conveniently small footprint. You can do so directly with the hot water function on the Gaggia Anima Prestige or by using water from a kettle.This is a good thing: we experimented with lowering the settings, and with our selection of beans from Square Mile Coffee Roasters, the results were disappointingly watery and thin. This machines redeeming feature is the quality of the coffee produced which, once you have mastered the setup menus, is consistent and can be set to satisfy most requirements. All you need to do is​ to pour the milk into the milk carafe and press the button for the required milk drink.
