Gaggia Magenta Plus Bean-to-Cup
About the Brand
Gaggia has shaped modern espresso since 1938, when founder Achille Gaggia patented the lever-brew system that first produced crema naturale — the golden crema now considered proof of a properly pulled shot. Built and engineered in Italy, Gaggia went on to launch the world's first mass-produced domestic espresso machine in the 1970s, bringing café-standard coffee into home kitchens. The brand's bean-to-cup range carries that same engineering discipline through to fully automatic machines that grind, dose and brew at the touch of a button.
The Product
The Gaggia Magenta Plus moves up from the Anima range with a full colour TFT display and a professional steam wand in place of the classic pannarello, giving you sharper control over milk texture. It's built for home users who've outgrown a basic bean-to-cup machine and want a more capable interface without stepping up to a commercial-style unit. The result is a machine that feels considerably more capable to operate day to day.
Key Features
Full Colour TFT Display (Clearer Navigation)
A vibrant TFT screen paired with capacitive buttons shows every drink option clearly, replacing the Anima's simpler LCD interface.
Professional Steam Wand (Barista-Style Milk)
A dedicated steam wand gives you hands-on control over milk texture, rather than the pannarello's more automated froth.
Ceramic Burr Grinder (Consistent Grind)
A single ceramic grinder with 5 adjustable settings lets you dial the grind to match your beans.
Height-Adjustable Espresso Tray (70–150mm)
The tray adjusts from 70mm to 150mm, so tall glasses and small espresso cups both sit properly under the spout.
Adjustable Dose Per Cup (Personalised Strength)
Choose how much ground coffee goes into each cup across 5 selections, adjusting strength without changing beans.
Memory Function (Repeatable Pours)
The machine remembers your preferred beverage length, so once dialled in, every pour after that matches it automatically.
Automatic Cleaning Cycles (Low Maintenance)
Built-in rinsing and cleaning cycles keep the brew group working properly between manual descales.
Who It's Built For
The Magenta Plus suits home users who want a more serious interface and steam wand control, but who are still frothing their own milk by hand. It's the step for someone who's used a basic bean-to-cup machine before and knows what they'd want improved. More control, same simplicity underneath.
