You can even programme the machine to come on at a certain time great for an early morning brew or a post-dinner pick-me-up. It even warns you when you need to clean and descale it. The cup warmer ensures that cups are kept at the right temperature and its adjustable dispenser lets you use a variety of cups.

When it comes to the all-important steaming and frothing this machine incorporates a double boiler heating system with a Rapid Steam function that reduces the time between coffee and steam delivery to just a few seconds. The Panarello milk frothing attachment makes it easy to create perfectly frothed milk for a creamy cappuccino whilst the auto-cappuccino attachment automatically dispenses frothed milk directly into your cup.

Achille Gaggia filed patent for the first professional coffee machine in 1938. His idea was to force water under pressure to flow over ground coffee and produce espresso. The steam generated is used for frothing milk.
