This is more then just an espresso machine. It is easily capable of making any style of cappuccino or latte. In fact, most of our customers use their Super Automatic espresso machines for "crema coffee" instead of drip coffee. Crema coffee is simply an espresso brewed to fill a regular coffee mug. This produces a much more aromatic and flavorful cup of coffee. As a result of the pressure brewed process (8 to 10 atmospheres of pressure!), the gravity based drip coffee systems simply cannot match. The Gaggia Compact will also produce hot water for Tea or Steamed Milk for Hot Chocolate! |

It really does not get any easier then this. Just press the brew button and the machine does the rest. It will automatically grind and extract the coffee to your desired taste. When the coffee is finished brewing it will place the coffee grounds into an internal dump box for later disposal (it will even tell you when it is full). Depending on the size of the coffee that you are brewing it will be done in as quick as 35 seconds and ready to brew again. |
|
You have total control over the coffee volume (liquid) that is dispensed with two programmable buttons. These buttons come preprogrammed but can be changed easily to suit your needs. |
|
The Gaggia Compact has an adjustable doser which controls the amount of ground coffee used for each beverage (6 to 9 grams for a single shot and 12 to 18 grams for a double shot). Combine this ability with the "programmable volume control" and you have total control over coffee strength and flavor at the push of a button. Drop the drip machine forever! |
|
This is another advantage of the Super Automatic coffee center. The first step takes about 2 seconds as it moistens and conditions the ground coffee. Next a 2 second pause allows the aromatic oils to leach from the interior of the coffee. The second step activates the high pressure pump to ensure absolute maximum flavor extraction with a perfect crema topping. |
|
This is used with ground coffee only. Perfect for those occasions when you don't want to be "caffeinated" or have decaf-only guests. This is also useful for experimenting with different types of coffees. If you are naturally a decaf drinker then use the bypass doser for regular instead. This has proven to be a highly sought after feature. |
|
The dispensing spout slides up or down to adjust for different size cups, from small espresso cups up to large mugs. |
|
Preheating your cups is important. The Syncrony Compact will hold up to six espresso cups and is passively heated. When the machine is on the cup warmer is being heated. |
|
The grinder has 18 settings providing plenty of control. You can grind from fine to coarse to accommodate any style of coffee roast. Light, medium or dark, espresso or regular coffee beans. |

Hot water is instantly available by turning the steam/hot water control knob. Makes 8 oz for a cup of tea or hot cider in about 30 seconds. |
|
The Gaggia Compact comes equipped with a stainless steel steam wand that is covered by a newly designed frothing wand. The new design makes great froth every time with no problems. The Compact has a continuous steam system that draws from the reservoir as is required so you never have to worry about running out of steam when you have friends over. |

The large removable reservoir holds 44 oz of water; enough for 25 espressos or 6 cups of coffee at a time. |
|
The Gaggia Compact's brew group is easy to remove. Just open the front door and remove with the thumb release lever. This gives you access to everything that brews the coffee. Normal maintenance would include a quick rinse and dry. |
|
Holds 7.5 oz of fresh whole bean coffee - about enough for 25 espressos before refilling. |
|
The dump box is located inside the machine and is easily accessed from the left side. The indicator light will indicate when the dump box needs to be emptied. |
