About Gaggia
With humble beginnings as a cafe owner in Milan, Achille Gaggia's ingenuity and passion for coffee inspired him to invent a new way to brew espresso without the use of steam. That vision led to the creation of the Lampo device which produced the characteristic crema which has since become the hallmark of quality espresso.
Gaggia Anima
Automatic Coffee Machine
The Gaggia Anima is a slim super-automatic espresso and coffee machine. With six buttons and a chrome plated pannarello wand, the Anima can make cappuccino and lattes. The Anima is your personal barista, remembering your personal taste with Programmable Brewing, and adjustable strength and temperature settings. A Bypass Doser allows you to brew pre-ground coffee, making it easy to make different drinks for guests. With the Anima, it’s all about making a hot and personal beverage

Product 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.

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.
**EDIT: purchased in 2018, it is now nearly the end of 2023 and the machine is still running as good as the day we got it.

So we tried different beans as reports said that might be the problem but it made no difference.
When it does work it’s great but I wouldn’t recommend this machine.
