New Espresso Pure is fitted with the traditional Gaggia's chromed brass filter holder and a new stainless steel boiler to guarantee the professional quality made in Italy.

The Gaggia Espresso Pure also uses a Pannarello wand for frothing and steaming, and comes with three different filter baskets for brewing a single shot, double shot, or with pods. The pump is capable of up to 15 bars of pressure to deliver a perfectly balanced shot, and for convenience, the 42 oz water reservoir is easily removable. Designed to please both the palate and the budget for amateurs, aficionados, and everyone in between, the Gaggia Espresso Pure truly stands out in the category of home semi-automatic espresso machines.

Baratza Maestro Grinder - The Maestro Conical Burr Grinder is one of the most eye pleasing grinders on the market, but the beauty isn’t skin deep.  Inside is the heart of a great grinder that can grind coffee beans for any style of coffee, whether it is an espresso machine, drip coffee maker, or press pot.  The Maestro was originally introduced in 2001 with lots of innovative features.  In March 2007, the Maestro was upgraded to include increased range of adjustment, an innovative calibration system, a new powerful DC motor and other improvements.

The Maestro uses the same 40 mm conical burrs it has always used.  Conical burr grinders are exceptional at producing consistent grinds from very fine to coarse. 

There are many coffee grinders on the market.  However, few have the ability to grind fine enough for a professional espresso machine and coarse enough for a press pot.  The upgraded Maestro has 40 steps of adjustment, up from 18 steps.  Choose the perfect setting by turning the bean hopper to the desired position.

Commercial grinders have a calibration system to ensure that the grinder will grind fine enough for espresso and has the range to grind coarse enough for a press pot.  Now this feature is available in a grinder designed for home use.  The grinders are calibrated when they are manufactured to ensure an accurate range of grind.  If necessary the grinders can be user calibrated.

A 240 watt DC motor is replacing the current AC motor.  The DC motor is twice as powerful as the current motor and turns slowly resulting in cool, quiet operation and permits long grinding duty-cycles.  The circuitry is equipped with an automatically resetting, thermal cutoff switch.

The Maestro uses a combination of gear and electronic speed reducers to slow the spinning of the burr to 450 RPM.  This slow speed reduces heat, noise, and static generation in the grinder. It also ensures that the beans feed smoothly into the burrs. 

The Maestro is equipped with a uniquely designed On/Off switch.  You may rotate the switch clockwise or counter clockwise from any position without damaging it.

Additional features include:

-Slow rotation insures extremely low static electricity issues
-Special gear reduction for slow rotation, ensuring the retention of the aroma and flavor of the freshly ground beans.
-Large 5 oz ground-coffee bin as well as the ability to grind directly into espresso porta-filters and drip coffee filters
-8 oz. Bean capacity
-A rotating timer switch provides automatically repeatable coffee powder dosing.
-A momentary push-button switch, prominent on the nose of the grinder, allows for precise custom coffee powder dosing.
-Ground coffee drops vertically into the tightly fitting coffee bin, insuring dust free operation.
-Bin area is large enough to accommodate even commercial sized port filters for grinding directly into them, without the bin.
-Dimensions: 5W x 14H x 6D in
