Picture this. An exquisite cup of espresso, freshly ground beans, a rich, golden crema and personalized intensity, all delivered with grace and style to your kitchen. Sound complicated? It doesn’t have to be. With the Gaggia Platinum Vogue, enjoy haute couture coffee with hassle-free ease. Completely automatic, the Vogue will grind, dose, and brew your coffee to taste. Add a few more individual touches with the Pannarello frothing wand or optional Milk Island. The Vogue’s stainless steel body is designed for both sophistication and simplicity, and is an attractive addition to any kitchen or office. The stainless steel Rapid Steam boiler system cuts out the wait between brewing and steaming. We like to think of the Gaggia Platinum Vogue as “practical decadence” at its best.

Control Panel |
|
The main feature of the control panel is a circular knob, in the middle of which are two buttons. This is the volume control knob. The larger button controls brewing. Press it once or twice depending on the number of cups you want. The smaller button, with the beans on it, controls brew strength. The hot water button, which is backlit, is to the right of the knob. If it is lit, hot water is selected, when it is unlit, the machine is in steam function. |
|
Indicator Lights |
|
The control panel features four indicator lights, to the left of the volume knob. The lights each stand for different alerts. The top light means the grounds drawer needs to be emptied, the bottom light signals it is time for descaling. In the middle are an alarm light that when it is permanently on tells you the hopper is out of beans, the water tank is empty, or the drip tray is full. Flashing slowly it means the brew group is not inserted, the grounds drawer is not inserted, the service door is open, or the steam/hot water knob is turned wrong. Blinking quickly it indicates the boiler needs to be primed. The fourth light, if blinking, means the machine is warming up. If steady, it means the machine is ready. |

Brewing on the Vogue |
|
It is all up to you! Adjust the volume knob to brew an espresso, a short coffee or a long coffee. The Opti-doser allows you to choose how much coffee is ground, tamped and brewed. Press the brew button for either one or two coffees, and the machine takes it from there. |

Rapid Steam Boiler System |

With many espresso machines the user must wait for the machine to heat again between brewing and steaming. Not the with the Platinum Vogue! The stainless steel boiler and Rapid Steam boiler system allow you to go right from one to the other and back. |
