Congratulations on your wise choice!
As the proud owner of the Gaggia machine, you can now
experience the taste of a delicious cup of espresso or cap-
puccino in the comfort of your own home.
Espresso coffee, originally created in Italy, is made by
rapidly forcing water that has been heated to the correct
brewing temperature, through a special fi nely ground
coffee. The heart of the espresso machine is a precision
engineered pump.
The pump and water fl ow is easily controlled with just a
fl ick of the switch.
