Espresso machine Gaggia 1.8 L Anima OTC

Gaggia Anima Class fully automatic espresso machine with 1.8 L water tank, integrated milk carafe and compact footprint. Designed and made in Italy, the machine delivers five beverage specialties (four available at one touch) including espresso and cappuccino, and offers customizable cup length and strength. It includes a bean hopper with aroma-preserving lid, a ground coffee option, automatic cleaning and guided descaling routines.

Advantages

The Anima Class uses 100% ceramic adjustable grinders with five grind settings to preserve flavour and avoid overheating, an Optiaroma system to select coffee intensity by choosing the dose of ground coffee per cup, and a pre-brewing function that improves body and crema. The integrated double-chamber milk carafe froths milk automatically and features a quick-clean cycle and refrigerator storage compatibility for hygiene and convenience. The machine performs automatic coffee-circuit cleaning at switch on/off and provides guided descaling messages.
