Description

The Gaggia Anima is the first machine in the Anima series. The Anima is a super-automatic espresso machine that wraps over 75 years of espresso making experience in an elegant design that blends modernity and tradition. PANNARELLO STEAM WAND: A Gaggia innovation, the Pannarello style steam wand simplifies the milk frothing process by injecting air directly into your milk to create rich, velvety milk foam perfect for lattes and cappuccinos. To stop adding air while frothing, simple submerge the wand's air intake hole in your milk. The steam wand can also be used to dispense hot water for drinks like cafe americanos and hot tea. SLEEK DESIGN: The Anima sets itself apart from the plastic housing found on machines in the same price range with striking stainless steel front paneling. The machine is has a slim profile (less than 9 inches wide), intuitive buttons, and an LED display. PROGRAMMABLE: The Gaggia Anima drink buttons can be programmed with your preferred beverage volume, strength, pre-infusion, and temperature (Min/177.5 °F, Med/182.9 °F, Max/184.5 °F). You are also able to choose between using whole bean or pre-ground coffee. LARGE CAPACITY: The Anima has a 60oz removable water reservoir and an 8.8oz bean hopper. The drip tray can hold up to 24oz of water and the internal dreg bin can hold up to 15 pucks of spent coffee. EASY MAINTENANCE: The machine features a removable brew unit as well as an automatic rinse and descale cycle. LOW-ENERGY STANDBY MODE: After one hour of idle time, the Anima will enter a low energy (-1 W) standby mode to reduce power consumption.

  • Superb and affordable super automatic
Style: Machine
Yes, I did state affordable but let's put this into perspectives. I'm coming to the Anima from a Gaggia Titanium which I purchased here on Amazon in 2005 and at the time, paid $1499. I loved it and made over 25,000 cups until last month when the water pump finally died. I was told by Gaggia it would be too expensive to ship and fix and that the Anima was the 'replacement'. So at more than half the price of the Titanium, and considering what other super automatics can cost, I found this unit 'affordable'. It makes superb coffee, perhaps better than the Titanium. There are mostly pro's, a few con's in comparing the two. I talked about price. Further: 1. Quality of the coffee. I think this unit grinds and thus produces a better, stronger cup. I've played with the various controls and nailed how I like the coffee. The quality is outstanding (see below, comparison to French Press and Chemix). 2. The unit appears to hold a bit more coffee beans and the same amount of water as the Titanium. 3. The coffee dispensing spout has a wider range than the Titanium and allows very tall mugs which is a major plus for those of us wanting coffee. 4. The control panel is icon based and attractive. It's a bit more descriptive. 5. The unit is smaller in footprint than the Titanium. It doesn't swivel on it's base which I could care less about. 6. The unit has a more robust "reactivation" (energy saving) mode which is programmable by time. When the unit first wakes up and cleans itself, it uses far less water than the Titanium which makes the water in the tank go longer between refill. 7. Once you set the desired amount of product with one push of the button, two pushes produces twice as much like the Titanium. I like the progress dialog on the LCD letting you know how much longer the process should take. More about this in #2 below. Possible cons: 1. Build quality isn't close to the Titanium, but with careful use, I don't think that's going to be a factor. The Titanium was solid with lots of 'metal' while the Anima has a lot of (what some might call) flimsily plastic instead. And that's what one would expect at half the price. I believe if a user is careful with the parts that need to be removed, cleaned and handled, this will not be an issue. 2. The Titanium had three "coffee" buttons, this unit has two. Not an issue for me. Both are programmable for the amount of product and thus strength. I have one for espresso and one for 'coffee'. So you can program the amount of product to dispense and double that by clicking on one of the two buttons twice. Titanium also had a cup warmer I never used; not necessary IMHO. 3. Seems to require a bit more maintenance. One has to 'oil' the brew unit occasionally and once a month, it's recommended it be 'cleaned' with a Gaggia tablet. That wasn't the case with the Titanium. I don't know yet if this will be a factor. Both units need occasionally to have a descaling. 4. This unit is a bit slower in dispensing the coffee perhaps due to the strength of the pump or, it just has to do this to make a better, stronger cup of coffee. Hardly a con but I wanted to mention you'll wait a bit longer for one 'round' than with a Titanium. Both produced lovely creama. 5. To alter the grind with the supplied tool, you're told to start the process of making a cup of coffee and turn the dial while grinding. That's not possible as when the door to the coffee beans is open, the unit stops so I can't figure out how to follow the instructions. None the less, I was able to carefully turn the dial to the desired grind and now it's perfect. All in all, I'm very happy with the unit after a few weeks of use. I miss (and loved) my dear Titanium but I'm very happy with this unit. I hope I'm lucky enough to brew 25K cups of coffee and get 13 years out of this unit. There doesn't appear to be a number of coffees produced menu option but that's not a big deal. When my Titanium died and while waiting for this unit, I went back to a French Press and a Chemix (my backups) and it only took a few days to want my super automatic back. Grinding the coffee, boiling the water (to ideal temp) and clean up was a major hassle compared to having a super auto. Push one button, you get a superb cup of coffee. And I really prefer the taste of the coffee from the Anima from either backup method. So if you've never had a super automatic, go for it. If you think it's too expensive, you can spend a LOT more. ... show more

  • The Gaggia Anima - excellent espresso, easy to maintain, easy to love!
Style: Machine
Just as the pandemic kicked into high gear, both of our Nespresso machines died. We had never taken to newer models, and were still using 2 D290 machines. We replaced one with the Creatista Uno machine, which we like very much. But we’ve used Nespresso machines for over 10 years, and have watched the cost of the capsules rise from 50 cents each to almost 80 cents each. When I looked at what we spent on Nespresso capsules in 2019, I decided it was time to consider a superautomatic. The difference in the cost of the coffee would pay for the machine in around a year. After researching many different machines, we settled on the Gaggia Anima. I was concerned that the maintenance on a superautomatic would be burdensome, or would get away from me, causing the machine to break, but honestly it’s pretty easy to care for (more about that later). Though it is expensive, Nespresso espresso is excellent, to match the quality would not be easy. Luckily we chose well, and we love this machine! On the Anima, we set the grind to fine, and set the amount of coffee to 5 - the highest. We’re lucky to know someone locally who roasts his own coffee, we buy regular medium roast coffee from him. We use half caf, mixing the coffee we buy locally with Don Pablo decaf we buy on Amazon. Between the two, my husband feels the espresso is even better than Nespresso, I think it is as good. We have cappuccinos with 2 shots every morning. The crema is great, and the Panerello milk wand makes the microbubbles in the milk, the consistency of the frothed milk better than the wand on our Nespresso D290 was. Overall our cappuccino from the Anima is at least comparable to cappuccino from a great coffee shop. As to the maintenance, it’s easy peasy. Every day I clean the removable milk wand, and the under wand. I pull out the drip tray and wash it. Once or twice a week, I pop out the brew group, rinse it in the sink, and pop it back in. None of these tasks takes more than 5 minutes. There is additional maintenance, including decalcifying the machine, but most of it you do once or twice a year. There are videos on you tube to run you through it, so it’s pretty simple. The one thing I would recommend is using the available filter for the water tank, and using only filtered water in the machine, or frankly any good espresso machine. The quality of the water has quite a bit to do with both the quality of the espresso and the longevity of the machine. We’ve had water filters on our kitchen sinks for years in an effort to wean ourselves off bottled water. The filters get changed infrequently, no more than once every 1 to 5 years, depending on the filter system you choose. Anyway, that’s our story. We’ve had the Anima for 4 months now, and we love it! I will update this review if that should change. ... show more

  • Very good for the price
Style: Machine
I have used a Jura J5 for the past 11 years and have found it to be excellent in all phases of automatic coffee results. I purchased the Gaggia for use in my motor coach when on the road. I find it to be above average in both brewing and flavor. I am able to use darker roasts but make sure I clean it more often. Crème on espresso is above average. It has worked well for the past 6 weeks with over 8 cups per day brewed. It cleans very easily -easier than the Jura. Now I am hoping for the length of service similar to what I have had with the much more expensive Jura. The smaller size is perfect for the Motor home counter top. ... show more

  • 4 years and now she's gone.....
Style: Machine
We bought this machine after traveling to Portugal and enjoying midday espressos at the many Autogrills along the highway. It became our main coffee maker and we put our trusty drip machine on a shelf. After 4 years, she's finally died. Wow... this really made great coffee and espresso. Very simple to use and EASY! But really, I would have expected to get about ten years of use from it. Four years is too short. We did all the routine maintenance - descaling, monthly and weekly cleaning. But now she leaks like the Titanic and spews ground beans in places she isn't supposed to.... I can't see buying another machine and tossing it again after 4 years. We've gone back to our drip coffeemaker and I'll make French Press coffee on the weekends as well as use the Bialetti moka espresso maker. They're not nearly as convenient.... but that's ok. ... show more
