What is a Super-Automatic Espresso Machine?
A super-automatic espresso machine will at one touch of a button complete the entire brewing cycle, and be ready to brew again without any manual intervention. A super-automatic espresso machine will grind the coffee beans, deliver an exact amount of coffee to the brew basket, tamp the coffee, pass an exact amount of water through the brew basket, and deliver consistently exceptional espresso to a cup. It will then dispose of the grounds from the brew basket (portafilter) to the dump box.
About this Gaggia Super-Automatic Espresso Machine
The Gaggia Syncrony Compact Digital Espresso Machine is a super-automatic espresso machine. The Syncrony Compact Digital Espresso Machine features the same functions as the Gaggia Syncrony Digital Espresso machine, but with a smaller footprint suitable for smaller areas. This espresso machine provides full control over the brewing process, The coffee dosage or the grind setting for fineness can be adjusted with the simple to use external levers. The espresso temperature and volume for each serving can also be adjusted. This espresso machine also features a ground coffee by-pass doser that enables you to easily serve decaf or a special request. It can also be programmed to pre-grind or pre-brew. The pre-grinding function allows you to grind coffee for the next two cups, which saves time when making multiple cups of espresso. The pre-brewing process slightly moistens the coffee before the actual brewing begins which brings out a fuller aroma of the coffee. This espresso machine also has an automatic de-calcification cycle. Simply pour de-calcification liquid into the water reservoir and push a button.
The Gaggia Syncrony Compact Digital Espresso machine is easy to use. The 44 oz. water reservoir is removable and has a handle for easy gripping. The reservoir is also easy to access and refill while in the machine. There is a thumb release lever for the brew group that makes removing the brew group easy. The turbo frother also functions as a hot water dispenser and it is equipped with a heat-insulated handle to avoid burns.
The Gaggia Syncrony Compact Digital Espresso machine has been built for durability and performance. It features a heavy-duty metal frame with upper ABS thermoplastic housing and commercial grade components. Gaggia machines use a 1250 watts heating system that provides for a shorter heat up time. This espresso machine also features a pressure relief system (three-way solenoid valve) that is found on commercial espresso machines. This pressure relief system exists to immediately remove pressure from the portafilter once the espresso shot is completed. This ensures a dryer puck for less mess and easier cleanup. Gaggia espresso machines come with a commercial quality portafilter. The portafilter is made from chrome-plated brass and has excellent heat retention. It holds 16 ounces. Every semi-automatic and super automatic Gaggia machine contains a frothing adapter that makes frothing milk easier and eliminates having to "work the milk".
