Gaggia Espresso Machines

The Inventor of "Crema"

History of Gaggia Espresso Machines

Italian coffeemaker Achille Gaggia patented the world's first stream-free coffee with a cream machine on September 5, 1938, and within 10 years had created the Gaggia S.p.A company, a name now backed by quality and reliability across the world. To this day, all products are still made in Milan, Italy, in the Robecco sul Naviglio plant and then shipped around the globe, finding their places in homes and coffee shops alike.  It is currently Italy's top selling espresso machine manufacturer, and as a brand that prides itself on innovation and technological evolution, its motto is to "constantly evolve tradition." This dedication and their immaculate attention to details enables Gaggia to bring consistent quality and the latest technological additions as coffee and espresso evolves to meet our ever-growing needs and wants.

Gaggia Home Espresso Machines

Originally a manufacturer of commercial machines, by 1977, Gaggia S.p.A began to produce the first home espresso machines, an area that has since become a large area of the entire production.  The range covers everything from classic manual machines to extremely automated models.  The domestic line includes automatic, traditional and capsule coffee machines, as well as coffee grinders.  Gaggia has also introduced Gaggia for illy and Gaggia for illy Plus, a project that combines the knowledge and experience of two major Italian brands to form extremely innovative espresso machines.  They have also teamed up together to create the iperEspresso Capsule System, a break-through capsule design that delivers an intensely rich, full-body espresso that produces fantastic crema that lasts up to three times longer than typical capsule or pod crema.
