    Overview

    Made in Italy, the Gaggia Besana Automatic Coffee Machine brings the art and passion of espresso-making in the comfort of your home.

    Starting with the beans, the adjustable ceramic grinders bring out the essence from every bean, while allowing you to customise the grind to suit your taste. You have the option of an espresso or a lungo shot, plus a Pannarello steam wand for that perfect milky froth—just like how they do it at your local coffee shop. Compact and thoughtfully-designed, all the compartments are within reach to streamline the coffee-making process.

    Fill your home with the warm aroma of freshly brewed espresso and enjoy cafe-quality beverages to enjoy for yourself, or to serve to guests when entertaining. It’s like having your very own barista at home with this automatic coffee machine from Gaggia.
    Classic Pannarello steam wand

    Froth milk like a professional using the Pannerello steam wand. Designed to make it simpler to steam milk, you’ll be creating velvety lattes and beautifully layered cappuccinos in no time.

    Easy-to-navigate analogue controls

    The control dial and touch buttons make it easy to control and customise your perfect brew. In just a few simple steps, you’ll have freshly made coffee ready to enjoy.

    Modern Italian style in a compact design

    A stunning addition to any countertop, the gentle curves, stylish black finish, and minimalist interface makes coffee-making a beautiful process.

    Ceramic grinders

    The premium grinders not only last long, they ensure that aroma and flavours are perfectly extracted from your beans. With five coarseness options to choose from, you can adjust the taste and strength of your coffee just the way you like it.

    Gaggia Besana.
    Coffee actually tastes like it's from the coffee shop. Once I got over the fear of using the machine and being disappointed yet again as from previous different makes. I am enjoying experimenting with different styles of coffee. The manual dial that needs to be turned for different functions isn't marked very clearly, just a slightly longer line than others on the dial so reasonable eyesight needed but otherwise extremely pleased. Service and delivery from appliances online excellent as usual.

    Love my new Gaggia
    We had a Saeco for years and when it died we tried many different brands. We weren't happy with any of them. I was told the Gaggia is the domestic Saeco machine and we are so happy with it. We mainly use it for espresso's and it hasn't missed a beat. It gives a hot coffee and looks great on my bench. Very happy A+++++
