From the temperature to the strength of the drink along with the quantity of water to be to the time when it shall be ready, everything can be customized by the user.

The Gaggia espresso machine Accademia 1003380 model is big and so its space. Not only will the charming looks of this machine and the space provided will captivate you, but the dedicated storage places for all the essential things will blow your mind. The water container can be removed and is quite big so that you do not have to refill it after one cup and the separate sealed container of the coffee beans is an excellent addition, a feature which is missing in most of the machines.
More than a Machine
According to most of the customers reviewed, this was one of the most simple machines as far as the operation was concerned, yet it did not leave any space blank. Undoubtedly, the best feature of the Gaggia Accademia 1003380 is the milk storage container, which is absent in every machine I have come across, and the user can actually decide how fine or how course the coffee beans should be grounded (yes, you can ground the coffee beans here as well!). The operation too, is extremely simple, with coffee being delivered to you in just the click of one button.
Just the perfect Companion
While one may argue how a machine can be someone’s favorite companion, the counter will always be to ask them to use this machine. Not only does it make seven different kinds of refreshing drinks for you, but is packed with a host of new features, features that can put even the best brands to shame.
If you are have already filled the cup to its brim, and yet the Gaggia Accademia has a lot more to offer, you can always have the option of stopping the drip. The drip tray is easy to clean and maintain and the presence of a water filter ensures you only get the best coffee, free from all potentially harmful minerals.
More than Just Looks
It would be a downright lie if I say this machine needs a little more touch-up to stand a chance. As big and heavy it looks, this charismatic machine with stainless steel front is more than just its looks. The machine is blessed with a unique feature named “tap”, which allows the user to fit different sizes of the cup and the machine will automatically adjust to the shape of the cup and will fill it accordingly.
Gaggia Accademia 1003380 also has the option of pulling out that part so that you can fit an even bigger cup (6-inches preferably) and of course, it feels damn premium.
Brewing and Frothing
One of the most important and essential features of the Gaggia Accademia 1003380 coffee and espresso machines are the brewing system and the frother, to add a texture and foam to the coffee to make it taste better. This machine however, has the best of both worlds.Be it the ‘Pre-Brewing’ system which extracts the maximum flavor and aroma from the coffee or the frother that will enable
Be it the ‘Pre-Brewing’ system which extracts the maximum flavor and aroma from the coffee or the frother that will enable you add different kinds of textures to the surface of your drink. What’s more is that it also comes with a steamer, which does not require the application of heat to froth the coffee, an essential features, if you’re in a hurry, yet want to enjoy a good coffee.
How and where should you use the Gaggia 1003380 Accademia Espresso Machine?
As I have discussed earlier in this article, this machine is extremely flexible as far as its functionality is concerned. But there are quite a few areas of concern that the people using this needs to jot down. This machine surely feels premium with stainless steel front, adding to the touch of the look but a lot of people have voiced their opinions saying that the major portion of this machine is made from plastic.
Now the percentage of the harmful substances that mixes with them is less compared to that in the plastic bags, but it is better not to use it in for a commercial purpose, since using it there will mean that the machine will run for the day without a break, and it can get heated up a little.Since the body is plastic, the dissociation of heat may entertain some harmful particles to be released in
Since the Gaggia Accademia body is plastic, the dissociation of heat may entertain some harmful particles to be released in air, whereas if this machine is used solely for domestic purposes, the machine runs a lower risk of getting heated up easily and also, the programmable timer can be used to its full potential. So, it is recommended that you use this machine for domestic purposes only.
Comparison Gaggia 1003380 Accademia vs Gaggia Anima Prestige Coffee Maker
- Though I must admit that the Gaggia Anima impressed me with its built-in functions, the Gaggia 1003380 Accademia is a clear winner when it comes to the quality of the functions. With a lot more to offer, the latter outsmarts the former.
- The Gaggia Anima too has dedicated storage containers for both water and coffee beans but the milk storage is not available and the space too feels a little cramped up, when compared to the Gaggia 1003380 Accademia.
- One of the most essential things that are missing in the Anima model is the steamer, which means that you cannot help but use the frother to create textures unlike the Accademia model. Even though the former is bigger in size, but is the latter that emerges the clear favorite in terms of looks, compact size and its flexible functionality.
