The Gaggia Platinum Vision 74845 Our Product Review
Gaggia are one of the world’s most renowned manufacturers of coffee machines for the home. So although Gaggia machines like the Gaggia Platinum Vision 74845 are usually at the very high end of the cost spectrum, you can be sure that you are really getting a quality product.
The Gaggia 74845 Platinum Vision coffee machine benefits from a built-in grinder, which grinds the beans within the coffee machine itself. This means you are able to make really fresh coffee without much of the mess associated with separate bean grinders.
Although there are several parts of the machine which need to be kept clean, most of these detach quite easily with the stainless steel construction making them easy to take care of without worrying about rusting.
The quality of the different elements of the machine makes all the difference in creating a quality brew. This starts at the grinder, with its ceramic blades, making the grind selected consistent every time and also allowing for small changes to be made to create subtle differences in the grind.
The machine also has an aqua prima water filter to make sure that only clean water makes it into the brew. This can be a particularly good feature if you live in an area with hard water, which would usually spoil any drink made.
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.
While most will buy the Gaggia 74845 Platinum Vision for the high level of functionality, it is also a stylish addition to any kitchen. The machine is crafted from stainless steel as opposed to cheaper imitation products, so the quality of the product shines through in the look of the machine too.
The Gaggia 74845 Platinum Vision Bean to Cup Coffee Machine is definitely a great option for any coffee drinker who has a little extra to spend and is looking for a top quality product.
