The Gaggia Platinum Swing is one of the new models from Gaggia. It is a fully automatic bean to cup machine with a metal chassis and very attractive titanium coloured ABS plastic sides with polished stainless steel panelling on the front. This machine brings together Gaggia's expertise and experience with beans-to-cup machines and the durability, attractiveness and easy-care of a metal body. It features all of Gaggia's latest developments from their range of fully automatic domestic espresso machines.
You make your espresso with a simple touch of a button and the machine will grind the coffee beans and extract your espresso directly into your cup. The machine also has the Gaggia E-Plus - Espresso Plus System control knob on the front that allows you to control the amount of water being dispensed into your cup. The used coffee grounds are automatically removed from the brewing head and stored in an internal container which only needs to be emptied when full or at the end of the day.
The machine has a digital display allowing you to program variables such as the coffee quantity and water temperature, and also gives you access to the machine's many useful functions; for example, it allows you to program the machine to automatically switch on or off at chosen times on chosen days of the week, it has a digital clock and a cup counter, and it prompts you when you need to descale, clean, empty the coffee grounds, and even when to refill the water tank. As well as using the built in grinder, pre-ground coffee can also be used giving more flexibility in terms of coffee choice, for example to use decaffeinated coffee. The cup warmer ensures that the cups are kept at the right temperature ready for when you want to make a cup of coffee. The height of the drip tray can be automatically adjusted allowing you to use many different sizes of cups.
This machine incorporates a double boiler heating system with a "Rapid Steam" function which reduces the time between coffee and steam delivery to just a few seconds. For those that don't want to froth the milk themselves - as an optional extra you can use the "Milk Island" with the Platinum Swing. This automatically froths the milk in a separate container ready for you to pour onto your espresso shot.
Suitable for domestic use only.
