Automatic Love

I purchased this machine after hours of research and video watching. I have no barista skills and wanted a machine that would take the guess work out of good tasting coffee while giving me to flexibility to feel like I was also creating my drink experience. On my 12 hour shift work days I leave before everyone in the house is awake and I like being able to push the expresso lungo 2x and fill my travel mug with coffee. For an added bonus I still froth some milk to add and its already better than any on my previous drip coffees. On my days home I make a 2 shot expresso and attempt my hand at cappuccino frothed milk. The milk part doesn't always come out perfect sometimes it more latte like etc. but that is the learning curve with frothing milk for the first time. In the end I am having fun, making yummy coffee and enjoying my mugs at home once again. I thought the price point on this machine was exceptional. I also love the pull from the front water and dreg door. I have performed my weekly maintenance and it takes about 10 minutes. Nothing about it is challenging. I plan to use my accrued points for some decaf pre-ground expresso, like others, I am drinking more coffee than ever before. This is truly just as easy as a Keurig and far better tasting. Plus it feels a little like a hobby when at home.

Love it

This is our third Gaggia machine. Like the front loading water and ground dispenser. Much easier to deal with then the previous models.

Java on tap

Easy to use and attractive machine for a homebody coffee drinker. Only takes a couple of days to get familiar with it - Italian made and coffee go together.

Velasca

The Velasca is a great for making espresso.

Better than expected!

My decision to purchase the Gaggia Velasca came after two weeks of research and several emails with Jackie, who was very helpful, extremely professional, and didn't seem to be overly caffeinated (listen to the recorded answering message). I wasn't sure whether to get a semi- or super-automatic machine, and I happened to find the instructions for routine maintenance and cleaning of semi-automatics. This is my first espresso machine, and I didn't want to regret my purchase. Finally, I selected the Velasca because of Gaggia's reputation, reviews of virtually every super-automatic that I could identify, making tables showing the features that are important to me, and watching so many videos that Marc seems like a long-time friend.

My quest seemed simple: I was spending way to much at my local Seattle-based coffee shop on lattes, I hated driving there in the morning just to get a latte, and I wanted to make a decent one at home. An important requirement was that the machine have a steam wand so that I could have the best steamed milk possible. However, all the machines in my price range have pannarellos, which are easy but less versatile, or another way to handle milk. Then I read about the Latte Art Pannarello, which seemed to function more like a regular steam wand. (It does!) If you want to do the work -- and it's not hard -- this accessory is a must. Today is day #3, and I'm already making yummy lattes that I like better than what I can buy.

For just one double-shot latte each day, the Velasca is more than sufficient for my needs. The water tank is accessible from the front, which means that I don't have to wrestle the machine out from under my upper cabinets every day -- that's only necessary for a descaling every couple of months. There is plenty of steam for my needs. The size is perfect, so the machine doesn't overtake my small kitchen. I think it's cute, and it's so easy to clean. Unfortunately, because I don't like espresso by itself, I am therefore unable to comment on it except to say that it was relatively easy to dial in the strength and volume so that the espresso would stand up to a good amount of steamed milk. I'm delighted with the Velasca and especially with Whole Latte Love. I started on this adventure being hopeful. Now I'm delighted!

Q: Can this machine also make normal coffee, or just espresso style drinks?

Whole Latte Love

05/28/19

A: Hello Aiden,

It won't be the same as drip style coffee if that's what you're used to, but it can make Americanos which are close.

Albert

Q: Is the taste and flavor quality the same in Velasca than in Brera or pricier Gaggia superautomatic coffee machines?

Whole Latte Love

07/30/19

A: Hello Albert,

Thanks for your question! The Velasca has a larger gram quantity when brewing compared to the Brera.

Brenda

Q: Is the steam wand replaceable with a straight stainless steel more controllable, classic style one?

Whole Latte Love

10/28/19

A: Hello Brenda,

Thanks for the question. A stainless steel outer sleeve is available for your pannarello wand, however, it will not provide you with more control over your froth density.

To gain more control, we recommend the Latte Art Pannarello Wand. While it is still plastic, it has a single hole at the tip, providing you with the control necessary to really fine tune your milk froth.

Tony

Q: I'm looking for a super automatic to replace an old Gaggia Brera that is on it's last leg. Can you recommend one that will grind dark roast (oily) beans and make a quality espresso?

Whole Latte Love

12/02/19

A: Hello Tony,

Thanks for the question. The JURA line is more versatile when it comes to oily beans, though oils can damage any grinder.

Drew

12/08/19

Q: I am looking to get into this level of machine for the first time. Wondering the difference between the Velasca and the Anima Super or other recommendations at this level. Thanks.

Whole Latte Love

A: Thanks for your question Drew. We have a video here comparing the Velasca, Anima, and Brera.
