A closer look at the three new models of Gaggia Magenta

A closer look at the three new models of Gaggia Magenta

Gaggia Magenta is the machine suitable for the “home barista” who loves to prepare a perfect espresso with comfort and ease of use.

The Magenta line, conceived and made entirely in Italy, is composed of three models: Prestige, Milk and Plus, all characterized by a unique and qualitative design capable of embellishing any domestic destination environment. The prevailing color of these models is black but with a small note of red, a distinctive element of the Gaggia brand identity.

In terms of use, everything is very simple and fast thanks to the user interface consisting of a large display combined with a functional keyboard with capacitive keys. The user will then be able to easily prepare all the drinks available in the different models with a simple button. With Magenta Plus it is in fact possible to prepare up to 5 drinks, the Milk model allows you to prepare up to 9 drinks while Magenta Prestige ensures the delivery of 12 different drinks. All these drinks are obviously adjustable and customizable in terms of temperature, intensity and length thanks to the Optiaroma system.

A further distinctive point of the three automatic coffee machine models is the milk system:

  • Prestige is equipped with an integrated carafe that can be easily removed to be kept in the fridge and washable automatically thanks to the Quick Clean system.
  • Milk Version is equipped with a CAPPinCUP system connected by means of a small tube to a transparent external carafe that allows you to control the quantity of milk used for the preparation of the drink.
  • Version Plus, on the other hand, is equipped with a professional steam wand capable of emulsifying milk like a professional barista.

All three models are also equipped with:

  • A rapid heating boiler made of aluminum and stainless steel, materials that ensure the extraction of a perfect hot espresso
  • a height-adjustable stainless-steel tray which is very useful for bringing the cup closer to the dispensing spouts. In this way unwanted splashes are avoided and the espresso cream is preserved.
  • an integrated coffee grinder with ceramic grinders that allows for 5 different grinding levels.

Cleaning operations are easy to manage thanks to the possibility of extracting the brew group and washing it under running water. The automatic rinsing and periodic descaling functions preserve the duration and operating quality of the machine.

To support the choice of the most suitable model for the various consumption needs, we have prepared a table useful for discovering in detail the different characteristics of the three Magenta models.
