Who was Achille Gaggia?

Well, if you love the feel and texture of that caramel layer of crema at the top of your coffee you’ve got Achille Gaggia to thank for it.

On the 5th, September 1938, Achille Gaggia filed patent No. 365726 for a steam-free coffee machine. Thanks to his revolutionary system, called ‘Lampo’, he was able to manage the entire process by which hot water under pressure passed through ground coffee: the espresso with a natural “crema” was born.

But today, you don’t need complicated pieces of specialist equipment to create the perfect crema for your coffee. UKVending has a whole range of crema’s for you to choose from. Have a look at our website and try and few with your next order.
