Gaggia Vogue Platinum 90800 Espresso Machine
The Gaggia Vogue Platinum 90800 espresso maker is a pump machine that delivers 15 bars of pressure. It is designed with many built-in features that allow you to create many different coffee based drinks in the comfort of your own home, but it is also very easy on the eye. The Gaggia Vogue machine has a very professional appearance due to its stainless steel exterior, but stainless steel was also used to construct some interior parts of the machine.
For instance, the boiler is made from stainless steel. This is important because steel holds in warmth and allows the machine to hold a consistent temperature throughout the brewing process. The boiler is also designed for rapid steaming, which means you don’t have those long waits while the machine goes from brewing to steaming and back again. You can brew a shot and instantly move to steaming in needed.
Besides basic espresso shots, you can use the Gaggia Vogue Platinum espresso machine to make a long list of drinks. It comes with a built-in frother to create frothed cream for an endless variety of drinks.
Other features on the Gaggia Vogue Platinum 90800 worth mentioning include: * Bean Grinder * Strength Settings * Adjustable Cup Tray * Cup Warmer * Removable Water Reservoir * Backlit Control Panel
The built-in bean grinder is incredibly convenient! It will hold up to 8.8 ounces of beans at a time and delivers perfect grounds for delicious espresso of which even your pickiest guests will approve. You can even adjust the amount of ground beans to be produced, ranging from 8 to 10.5 ounces at a time.
There are settings that allow you to pick the strength of espresso desired and the cup tray can be adjusted to the perfect height for your cups. There is also a nice cup warmer that ensures you never put perfectly heated espresso into a cold cup. That leads to immediate cooling of the espresso which in turn leads to less tasty outcomes.
Everything on the Gaggia Vogue Platinum espresso maker is easily set through touch-buttons with nice backlighting. This means you can see exactly what you are doing even in those dark wee hours of the morning that you just need something to wake up with.
Finally, the water reservoir holds 57 ounces of water and is completely removable so you won’t make a mess trying to keep it filled. It is also easier to keep it clean when you can take it out, wash it, fill it, and stick it back in.
The Gaggia Vogue Platinum espresso maker is definitely packed with great features that make it easier and more enjoyable to create your own espresso and other drinks at home, but there is one potential downfall: the price. This machine does sell well above $500 and will be seen as a major investment for many people.
When purchasing espresso machines in this higher price point, most people have high expectations. Consumers who already own the machine confirm that it does produce delicious espresso as well as a variety of other drinks and that it is impressively nice looking in the kitchen.
Unfortunately, some consumers report that the quality of the Gaggia Vogue machine may not be as high as that of the espresso produced. Some find that it starts to show signs of wear and tear a bit quicker than other espresso machines might. This is definitely a machine to be gentle with and take good care of if you decide to bring it home.
