Note: 1)Too coarse a grind, too little coffee, or insufficiently tamping the grounds before brewing can all lead to inadequate pressure for a proper brew. 2)It is important to note that the amount of espresso extracted will vary depending on the grind size and amount and reprogramming may be needed when the size and amount are adjusted

About Gaggia
With humble beginnings as a cafe owner in Milan, Achille Gaggia's ingenuity and passion for coffee inspired him to invent a new way to brew espresso without the use of steam. That vision led to the creation of the Lampo device which produced the characteristic crema which has since become the hallmark of quality espresso.
Gaggia Velasca Prestige
One-Touch Automatic Coffee Machine
The Gaggia Velasca Prestige is a powerful super-automatic espresso and coffee machine, perfect for brewing espresso, coffee, cappuccinos, and lattes at home. The carafe auto-froths and steams milk to craft specialties like you would order at the cafe. Programmable buttons customize drinks just for you. The bypass doser lets you add pre-ground when you want to relax with decaf. The Velasca can fit easily beneath your cabinets, and the reservoir and dreg drawer are front-loading for ease of use.
