Review of the Gaggia Velasca and Velasca Prestige bean to cup automatic coffee machines. Marc from WholeLatteLove.com takes an in-depth look at the new Velasca machines from Gaggia. These machines make espresso, coffee and milk based drinks like latte and cappuccino at the touch of a button with beans ground fresh for every cup.

which would you choose velasca prestige or anima prestige / deluxe ?
Hi, does this have two boilers, can we simultaneously steam milk right after brewing a shot?
How does the Velasca differ from the Anima? Thanks.
Interesting. Looking forward to reading feedback from users. Have owned my Anima Prestige for about 1 1/2 years and love it. Mark
can these machines make a flat white?
Does this have auto-on so it is hot when I wake up in the morning?
The new Gaggia Velasca is essentially a rebadged Saeco Intelia Focus HD8758/57 which has been around for a few years. Both machines seem to have the same build quality. They are also priced similarly on most sites in case anyone wondered 🙂
Part of me thinks these are super cool, but part of my feels like there’s a bit of over complication for what I need from an espresso machine. I feel like just a standard espresso machine is quicker and easier to maintain.
When doing a double shot do you hit the espresso button twice or how does that happen
My titanium just died (15000 cups later!). Is the velasca a reasonable replacement? Also, big concern, how hot is the coffee produced? With the titanium I always had to microwave the coffee (with some half and half). Will this machine be the same or could it make hotter coffee? Thanks!
I am planning to buy an automatic machine and I am not an expert but in simple terms looking for an easy one touch Machine that can make expresso and Capaccino. I have looked at the videos on the internet on Melitta Barista TS, Gaggia Academia, Gaggia Valesa Prestige. Please could you help me understand the difference between these machine or also please could you suggest from your side any. Thank you for your support.
do you mean milk carafe produce hot milk which is suitable do drink with out coffee ? not as most delonghi producing just warm not hot milk
How much sir?
Milk should only be steamed though not frothed. I learnt this after buying the nespresso machine. I guess the standard velasca is a better choice
