Gaggia Brera – Style And Simplicity

Gaggia is a company synonymous with Italian espresso heritage, and this quality bean-to-cup coffee machine from Gaggia looks to have all the features that a coffee aficionado would want.

The Gaggia Brera has a compact design, ease of use and energy saving capabilities allowing you to brew your coffee the barista way in the comfort of your own home, while the Gaggia Brera automatically switches to standby mode after one hour to save you energy when not in use, using less than one watt per hour when in standby mode, while the twin boiler reduces the waiting time between coffee brewing and steam output to just a few seconds.

This Gaggia coffee machine can use either coffee beans or ground coffee, making it ideal for preparing espresso. It also has twin boilers allowing you to brew coffee and add milk to make a cappuccino or latte without having to wait, so with just a turn of the steam knob you can froth milk to make cappuccinos, lattes and macchiato coffee.

The grinder in the Brera is a high-quality ceramic, which retains the purity of the coffee aroma as ceramic material is inert and thus ensures the best results without changing the consistency and flavour of the coffee and is durable and safe in use. The default setting gives you a medium grind but it can be easily adapted to grind as coarse or as fine as necessary.
Naturally, the finer the grind the more flavour can be extracted from the same volume.

Ceramic grinders considerably reduce the amount of coffee residue left in the cup, make little noise and are very long-lasting;  so the quality of the grinder is extremely important. 

Of course the settings on the Brera can be fully customised. The control panel has dispensing buttons which you can program to suit your own personal taste.

You can customise everything to your personal tastes, from the amount of milk that is dispensed to the size of coffee. The Gaggia coffee maker has a finger touch function to save user settings incorporating two buttons which can each be programmed for a personalised coffee. It can therefore store two individuals’ customisations, making brewing a morning cup made exactly to your liking as easy as pressing a button.

The Brera offers still more Variety as the ground coffee compartment allows you to brew a different blend without having to change the beans.
Gaggia have helpfully included a ’strength selector’ feature to assist you in your decision making process; so you can experiment making anything from very mild to very strong coffee, and everything in between – and altering the settings is not complex at all.

Cleaning the Brera is also effortless as it incorporates a detachable brewing unit for easy maintenance. Regular cleaning is essential as it removes hard water mineral deposits, residual oils from previously brewed coffee and other impurities that can adversely affect the taste of your coffee. Scale forms while the machine is in use, so it’s also necessary to de-scale every three to four months of use.
 

The Gaggia Brera is a compact and stylish bean-to-cup coffee machine delivering excellent quality coffee in the comfort of your own home. This compact and lightweight machine comes with an electronic LED control panel, a 250g bean hopper and a 15 bar pressure pump for professional results. It has an integrated ceramic coffee grinder, and is easy to clean due to the detachable brewing unit.

It also boasts a stainless steel boiler and 1.2 litre watertank.

The Gaggia Brera would make a great addition to any kitchen as it is a simple yet accomplished bean-to-cup coffee machine.
