Gaggia Accademia Glass - One Touch Cappuccino Beans & Grounds Coffee Machine
What’s your cup of coffee? Latte? Macchiato? Cappuccino? This versatile machine can brew them all, at the touch of a button. Its ceramic grinder preserves the aroma and flavour of coffee, by preventing beans from burning during the grinding process. And its pre-brewing system moistens the coffee before the actual brewing to produce a flavourful, aromatic cup. Easy to clean and maintain, thanks to its removable brewing group and automatic cleaning mechanism, it's also energy efficient and has a variety of settings that let it adapt to individual tastes. It also comes with an integrated cup warmer that allows coffee to stay warm for a long time. And if you’re the type that simply hates waiting for your cappuccino, its double boiler can whip you a cuppa, in just a few seconds.

About Gaggia
Gaggia is an Italian manufacturer of coffee machines, especially espresso machines, in addition to small kitchen appliances. The company is owned by the Evoca Group.
The founder, Giovanni Achille Gaggia (1895–1961), applied for a patent (patent number 365726) for the first modern steamless coffee machine on 5 September 1938, to be used commercially in his coffee bar. The machine forced water to flow over the coffee grounds at a high pressure, producing the 'crema' that is unique to espresso.
The Gaggia company was founded in 1947 and formally incorporated in 1948. It first produced machines for commercial use, but shortly thereafter released the Gilda, its first home machine.
Gaggia has four product lines. They market automatic espresso machines, manual espresso machines, accessories, and coffee beans under the Gaggia brand name. The company continues to produce espresso machines (as well as accessories) from classic manual machines to the innovative semi-automatic and super-automatic models recently added to the line.
The Gaggia S.p. A company was purchased in 1999 by fellow Italian competitor Saeco International Group, which in turn was purchased by Dutch manufacturer Philips in 2009. Gaggia still operates a separate line but now is using Saeco designs in some of its domestic espresso machines. Before the takeover by Philips most domestic espresso machines from Gaggia had aluminium boilers. Now they have stainless steel boilers.
In 2017 Philips sold the Saeco Professional division, along with the Gaggia brand, to N&W Global Vending SpA, an Italian Bergamo based company known as a leader in vending machines for drinks and snacks. In November, 2017 N&W changed its name to Evoca Group, which revitalized the Gaggio Montano plant in Bologna. The company specialized in the production of machines for bars and restaurants and relaunched the Gaggia brand.
