Gaggia Accademia - Super-Automatic Espresso Machines

Gaggia Accademia Overview

The Gaggia Accademia is an Italian espresso machine that oozes luxury. It is exclusively designed and manufactured in the periphery of Tuscany. This espresso machine is a fully automated bean-to-cup system that provides you with a diverse range of 19 customized beverages to choose from. You can personalize milk-based drinks using the automatic frothing carafe or the commercial steam wand, which produces milk foam of latte art quality.

The Accademia's top-notch design stands out by integrating premium materials such as all-steel housing and a sleek black glass front panel. Its 5-inch touch display is highly responsive, similar to a phone's interface, allowing you to navigate through menus and prepare your preferred beverage effortlessly.

Features

Touch Screen

The Accademia is a unique Italian-made espresso machine that boasts a sturdy metal frame and housing. One of its standout features is its full-color 5-inch touch display that is both vivid and highly responsive. The machine also includes a suite of four capacitive touch buttons on the left and a textured rotary knob and selector on the right for additional navigation. The front of the machine is made of black glass and features a backlit Gaggia Milano red stripe.

Heated Cup Warmer

The Accademia includes a programmable and electrically heated cup warmer, which can be customized with unique timers to turn on and off automatically throughout the day, providing a convenient and efficient way to store cups.

Customizable Brewing

When preparing coffee, it is possible to personalize each drink by adjusting its volume, strength (between 6.5 - 11.5g), temperature (low, medium, or high), level of pre-infusion (no pre-infusion, short, medium, or long), and flow rate using the Accademia-exclusive Espresso Plus System. This system allows you to choose between regular, full-bodied, or lighter cups of coffee.

The Accademia offers the option to use pre-ground espresso via the bypass doser, and many drinks can be doubled up with the "Two cups" function, which grinds and brews a beverage twice in a row. Finally, the Accademia introduces Gaggia's Coffee Boost system, which triggers a second grinding cycle while maintaining the desired volume of the beverage.

Automatic & Manual Milk Frothing

Milk frothing can be accomplished either through an automatic process using a detachable carafe or manually via a commercial steam wand. The Accademia machine offers 11 distinct milk-based beverages that can be personalized to your desired milk volume and texture, with four options for milk foam consistency.

Additionally, milk can be frothed manually with the steam wand, which can be flexibly positioned using a ball joint within the frothing pitcher. The steam wand can also be utilized to dispense hot water for standard infusions, as well as 90°C water for Black Tea and 80°C water for Green Tea.

Full Coffee Menu

The Accademia coffee machine permits users to customize their beverages by choosing from a range of options such as Ristretto, Espresso, Espresso Lungo, Coffee, Americano, Cappuccino, Cappuccino XL, Macchiatone, Melange, Cafe Cortado, Flat White, Caffelatte, Cafe au Lait, Latte Macchiato, Frothed Milk, Hot Milk, Hot Water, water for Black Tea, and water for Green Tea.

These customized beverages can be saved and renamed to any one of the four user profiles available, with the option to designate one of the profiles as the default start screen. Moreover, the Accademia machine also features an On-the-Fly function, which allows users to modify drink variables in real-time during the brewing process, with the added convenience of saving the changes made at the end of the cycle.

Flow Control

The Espresso Plus System, alternatively called Flow Control, is a novel advancement that enables you to regulate the water flow rate through the brew group. With the ability to set the system to one of three positions, you can achieve a coffee that is either lighter or more robust, depending on your taste preferences. Additionally, when paired with the four pre-infusion settings, the Espresso Plus System provides unparalleled customization of every beverage, resulting in a truly unique drinking experience.

Easy Maintenance

The Accademia offers various maintenance programs, such as quick rinsing and deep cleaning using specialized products, including a descaling cycle and a thorough cleaning of the milk system. To prevent the accumulation of scale, Mavea Intenza water filters are utilized, and a new filter is included with every new machine.

Eco Mode

To save energy, the Accademia also offers optional features such as the ECO mode and the ability to turn off the cup warmer, button lighting, and sounds. The screen brightness can be adjusted, and a timer can be set to enter the low-energy standby mode.
