Gaggia wins two titles as Daily Telegraph puts coffee machines through tough tests to find the best in Britain

16/12/2024

0 Comments

 
Gaggia coffee machines have been tried and tested by a national newspaper and came out as best in the UK in two categories.

The Daily Telegraph put many coffee machines through their paces and found that the Gaggia Magenta Plus is the Best Automatic Bean-To-Cup Coffee Machine while the Gaggia Classic Evo Pro came out on top as the Best Coffee Machine For Expresso.

​
The coffee machines were exhaustively tested over several weeks and the Telegraph tells its readers: “Our thorough, real-world tests will always help you find the best product at the best price.”

This means both coffee machines are now official Telegraph Recommended products.

This is what the Telegraph said about the Gaggia Magenta Plus being the Best Automatic Bean-To-Cup Coffee Machine, scoring it 9 out of 10 and praising its “consistently good quality results.”

“Adjustable ceramic grinders offer five settings from fine to coarse and allow you to modify the amount of coffee used in each brew. There’s also an option to use coffee grounds – useful if you’re out of beans.

“An LED touch screen offers a choice of four coffee styles - espresso, espresso lungo, coffee and Americano - with options to vary size, temperature and strength and it’s very simple to navigate. The base plate can be raised up and the dispenser can be lowered too so a wide range of cup sizes can easily be accommodated.

“The espresso created was smooth and rounded with an excellent crema.”

This is what the Telegraph said about the Gaggia Classic Evo Pro winning the Best Coffee Machine For Expresso title, scoring it 8 out of 10.
​
“This is a manual machine for people who want to put the effort in to make their own perfect cup of coffee from scratch.

“Getting this manual machine up and running is the easy part. You simply need to fill the water tank and remember to fit the drain pipe too. It’s not that operating it is difficult but you will need to put in some time and effort to achieve the fantastic results this machine is capable of delivering.

“A timeless-looking machine made from stainless steel and with just three switches – power, brew and steam - plus a valve to control the intensity of the steam wand. There are no presets, volumetric dosing or pressure gauge so the length of brew time and the milk steaming are all controlled completely manually.

“The machine heats up quickly, including the handy cup warmer plate on top. There’s only enough space beneath the portafilter to fit espresso or shallow cappuccino cups so this is not the ideal machine for Americano lovers.

“Once you’ve worked out the perfect grind size, ideal weight of coffee grounds per cup and length of extraction, the resulting espresso will never disappoint. A great choice for those who enjoy the precision and care that goes into crafting the perfect, short brew.”
Generally speaking on coffee machines, the Telegraph states: “A manual bean-to-cup coffee machine offers the closest barista-style experience

“If, however, you just want a quick, no mess approach without compromising on flavour, then a fully automatic bean-to-cup machine may be the best option. They’ll deliver a high quality coffee in a wide range of styles, often at the touch of a button. They also have in-built rinse and purge cycles to make short work of cleaning up.”


Gaggia UK Direct managing director Raj Beadle says: “The Telegraph has put a lot of very good quality coffee machines through some tough tests here so we are delighted that two Gaggia models came out as best of class in a couple of categories.

“It’s another tribute to the top quality build of every Gaggia coffee machine which are manufactured in Italy and it’s also worth mentioning that every Gaggia coffee machine bought from us comes with our unique forever customer care.”
