FEATURES

• Bean to Cup
  The Gaggia Velasca’s built in adjustable ceramic burr grinder lets you grind beans fresh with every cup.
• Bypass Pre-Ground Chute 
  Should you opt for a decaffeinated coffee or an alternate blend, you may use the bypass chute. As long as this coffee is already pre-ground, and the machine is told to take from this area, you can “bypass” your grinder and extract your cup from this alternative blend. This feature allows you to have a secondary type of coffee without having to remove any of the current coffee beans.

• Coffee Volume Adjustment
  The Gaggia Velasca offers some customization to the beverages. You can easily personalize your beverage and have it memorize the length (volume of coffee) desired. Both the “Espresso” and “Espresso Lungo” buttons have this programmable feature.

• Coffee Strength Adjustment
  5 aroma strength options are available at your fingertips to customize before making your beverage selection.

• Coffee Temperature Adjustment
  You can select your coffees to extract at a low, medium or high temperature

• Coffee Spout Adjustment
  The adjustable spout will fit your cups at ease and will prevent the coffee from having a large drop between the spout and cup. This will help maintain a better temperature and allow the coffee not to splash.

• Front loading dreg drawer & water tank
  This machine is designed with its water tank and dreg drawer accessible from the front of the machine. This is convenient as you dont have to pull the machine forward or to the side when you need to replenish with water or empty its coffee grinds.

• Milk Froth with a Classic Milk Frother (CMF)
  The Classic Milk Frother, which is also called a Pannarello, dispenses steam so you may prepare milk foam for a cappuccino, or any milk based espresso beverage you desire. You may use regular milk, or if you prefer any non-dairy milk options like almond or soy, those are suitable as well.
