Gaggia is one of the most well known manufacturers of domestic coffee machines and is an authentic Italian manufacturer to boot.
The Gaggia 74845 Platinum Vision coffee machine also has a built-in bean grinder, processing the beans within the coffee machine itself and therefore making the coffee you brew as fresh as possible. This allows you to brew your coffee without any of the mess which you may face when using separate grinders and espresso machines.
One inconvenience with the Gaggia 74845 Platinum Vision is that there are several parts which need cleaning and this can be a little fiddly. All of these parts do however detach and are made of stainless steel, so you can simply soak them before cleaning to make the job a little easier.
The quality of the coffee which you can make with the Gaggia 74845 Platinum Vision Bean to Cup Coffee Machine is largely down to the quality of the elements within the machine. One of the most important of these is the ceramic coffee grinder, which allows you to finely adjust the grind, making subtle changes to the brew.
Another important feature in allowing great quality to be achieved time after time is the inclusion of an aqua prima water filter. This makes the Gaggia 74845 Platinum Vision a particularly good investment for anyone living in a hard water area.
The Gaggia 74845 does however have a drawback which is that it can be a little overwhelming to operate when you first use it. The vast amount of functions on the machine is a definite benefit but it can take a few tries to get the hang of some of the more complex operations.
The complex nature of the operating system is definitely worthwhile learning though, allowing you to create coffee which is exactly to your taste, and in pretty much any style you like. As well as espresso, the Gaggia 74845 is great for creating cappuccinos with its in-built milk frother, or indeed any other variation which you would find in a coffee shop.
The Gaggia 74845 Platinum Vision is not only advanced in terms of functionality – it looks really great too. Most of the main features are made of stainless steel rather than having an imitation finish. This means that the Gaggia 74845 looks great in any kitchen and is definitely one appliance you will proud to show off.
To summarise, the Gaggia 74845 Platinum Vision Bean to Cup Coffee Machine is the one of the best options to go for if you have a little extra to spend since the quality of the brew it produces is exceptional.
