Gaggia are one of the most renowned manufacturers of domestic coffee machines and are an authentic Italian manufacturer to boot. Although you may not think this matters too much, it does generally mean that you are purchasing a truly top quality product if you go for the Gaggia Platinum Vision 74845, and this is reflected in the price.

The Gaggia 74845 Platinum Vision coffee machine also has a built-in bean grinder, processing the beans within the coffee machine itself making the coffee you achieve as fresh as possible. This allows you to brew your coffee without any of the mess which you may face when using separate grinders and espresso machines.

The additional grinding functions mean that the Gaggia 74845 Platinum Vision does have quite a lot of parts to clean. All of these detach quite easily as well as being made of stainless steel, so cleaning them is relatively simple if a little time consuming.

The quality of the different elements of the machine makes all the difference in creating a quality brew. This starts at the grinder, with its ceramic blades, making the grind selected consistent every time and also allowing for small changes to be made to create subtle differences in the grind.

Another important feature in allowing great quality to be achieved time after time is the inclusion of an aqua prima water filter. This makes the Gaggia 74845 Platinum Vision a particularly good investment for anyone living in a hard water area.

The Gaggia 74845 does however have a drawback, which is that it can be a little overwhelming to operate when you first use it. The vast amount of functions on the machine is a definite benefit but it can take a few tries to get the hang of some of the more complex operations.

Even though it is a little complicated, this is largely because of the sheer amount of different things that you can do with the Gaggia 74845. In addition to espresso, there is of course a crema to froth milk, and the Gaggia makes it quite easy to produce any variation on the cappuccino which you would find in the local coffee shop.

The Gaggia 74845 Platinum Vision is not only advanced in terms of functionality though ñ it looks really great too. Most of the main features are made of stainless steel rather than having an imitation finish. This means that the Gaggia 74845 looks great in any kitchen and is definitely one appliance you will proud to show off.

In summary, the Gaggia 74845 Platinum Vision Bean to Cup Coffee Machine is a great option for anyone who has the extra to spend. The quality of the coffee produced is at least as good as that from the local coffee shop, so the machine will probably pay for itself.
