The Gaggia Brera has a compact design, ease of use and energy saving capabilities enabling you to brew your coffee the barista way in the comfort of your own home, while the Gaggia Brera automatically switches to standby mode after one hour to save you energy when not in use, using less than one watt per hour when in standby mode, while the twin boiler brings the waiting time between coffee brewing and steam to only a few seconds.

This Gaggia coffee machine can use either coffee beans or ground coffee, making it ideal for preparing espresso. It also has twin boilers allowing you to brew coffee and add milk to make a cappuccino or latte without having to wait, so with just a turn of the steam knob you can froth milk to make cappuccinos, lattes and macchiato coffee.

The grinder in the Brera is a high-quality ceramic, which retains the purity of the coffee aroma as ceramic material is inert and thus ensures the best results without changing the consistency and flavor of the coffee and is durable and safe in use. The default setting gives you a medium grind but it can be easily adjusted to grind as coarse or as fine as necessary.

Obviously, grinding the coffee more finely produces more flavor than the same volume.

Ceramic grinders are long-lasting, make minimal noise and substantively reduce the amount of coffee residue left in the cup; so the quality of the grinder is extremely important.

It goes without saying that the settings on the Brera can be fully customized The dispensing buttons on the control panel can be programmed to your own personal taste.

You can customize everything to your personal tastes, from the amount of milk that is dispensed to the size of coffee.

This allows the saving of two individuals' custom settings and means that brewing a morning cup made exactly to your liking is as easy as pressing a button.

The Brera offers still more Variety as the ground coffee compartment allows you to brew a different blend without having to change the beans.

Gaggia have helped included a 'strength selector' feature to assist you in your decision making process; so you can play around with the coffee strength from very mild to very strong, or anything in between – and altering the settings is a breeze.

Cleaning the Brera is also effortless as it boasts a detachable brewing unit for easy maintenance. Regular cleaning is essential as it removes hard water mineral deposits, residual oils from previously brewed coffee and other impurities that can adversely affect the taste of your coffee.
