London 20th August 2007
We are organising our second barista competition for users of Espresso machines in restaurants. This will be held at the Restaurant Show, Earl's Court from the 8th -10th of October. The first competition was held last year and was well received.
This is a competition to encourage restaurants to serve better coffee at the end of a meal and also to encourage coffee making generally. Gaggia's Caffe Academie has been involved in training and encouraging baristi for a number of years. The quality of coffee served is continually improving but there is a lot more to be done. The UK and the World competitions have given a high profile for coffee making and I have had the priviledge to be associated with two UK champions -Simon Robertson and James Hoffman. James started his coffee career in our Academie and has gone on to become the world champion and is probably one of the most knowledgeable coffee experts in the world today.
James Hoffman has kindly agreed to judge this year's competition along with Paul Meikle-Janney who is another world renowned coffee expert and trainer.

GAGGIA launches Capsule system
Award Winner
Gaggia chose two from its complete range of espresso makers and fitted them with an exclusive extraction system which gets all the best from the Caffita capsule method. The Caffita capsule is structured specifically to allow the water to fully irrigate each tiny grain of coffee, thus guaranteeing a constantly even flow of coffee and, above all, a consistently excellent brew in the cup.
GAGGIA’s traditional quality and experience in espresso-making joins forces with the advanced technology of the Caffita System, an innovative method of packaging coffee in capsules. The ideal amount (8 g) of ground coffee is vacuum-sealed in each disposable, ready-to-use capsule for a great cup of genuine Italian espresso.
