The Gaggia for Illy espresso machine is one of a new generation of coffee makers. These new machines use pre-packaged pods, bags or capsules that each contain enough coffee for a single serving. Individually packaged, the pods keep the coffee fresh. The brewing process is simplified because the need to measure coffee, flavorings and additives is eliminated. Unused coffee remains fresh until it is required because the individual packages keep it sealed and away from oxidising air.
The Gaggia for Illy espresso machine is very easy to use. There are only three buttons: An on/off button, a programmable cup button and a button for activating the steaming function for lattes and cappuccinos. The pods are completely disposable. At no time does the coffee come into contact with any part of the machine; this simplifies cleaning.
Single-cup coffee brewing systems are a relatively new addition to the lucrative hot drinks market. The concept of separating the heating and pressure functions was introduced by Francesco Illy (1892-1956) in 1935. This makes a better-tasting, not burnt, cup of espresso. This system is the product of a collaboration between the third generation Hungarian Illy family and Italian Achille Gaggia.
Home-brewed coffee using one of these systems is very fashionable. What separates the Gaggia for Illy system from all the others is its unique iperEspresso capsule, known all over the world. The Gaggia for Illy espresso machine is also very compact and weighs barely nine pounds. It comes in one of two colors, the iconic Gaggia red or elegant black.
The beauty of these little machines is that they effortlessly produce a shot of perfectly flavored, aromatic coffee topped with a luxuriously thick crown of golden crema. To obtain this pinnacle of caffeinated bliss with a conventional coffee maker requires selecting your own perfect blend of beans and roasts, correctly dosing and tamping the perfectly-ground beans (from your own grinder, of course) and carefully hand-pulling the brew into your waiting demitasse.
For the coffee purist, brewing the perfect cup requires the same level of skill, high-quality equipment and delicate palate that is used in brewing really great beer or making a fine wine. Selecting the perfect blend of beans is a mission in itself. Before deciding how much of which Brazilian blend should be combined with what roast of El Salvadoran Bouron varietal, the individual beans must be sampled in each of three different processing methods: wet, dry and semi-wet.
Who do you trust to perform this labor of love, generations of baristas with crema woven into their DNA, or your own clumsy, uninitiated palate. Let the connoisseurs have their metal tampers and thermoblocks. Leave the hard work to the professionals and enjoy your one-step, expertly-blended brew.
The only possible means by which the coffee or tea brewing process can possibly become easier than using a Gaggia for Illy espresso machine is by standing in front of a Star Trek-style replicator and saying, ?Coffee, Indonesian medium roast, hot.? You never know. With three-dimensional printers already in use that day may not be far behind.
