Boardies, your coffee is on us!

Hi All

Your coffee is on me:)

Well it will be soon anyway....

I will finally be seeing a few of the new GAGGIA COFFEE MACHINES very soon and we in The Philips Shop would love for you to call in have a coffee with us!

I've no doubt that after you have tried a fresh coffee from one of our new Gaggia Coffee Machines you'll certainly leave the shop more alert than when you came in...oh and use that extra pep in your step to carry a new Gaggia home:D


Below is a little more info on what we should have in stock.

As you may know Gaggia are world renowned for producing maybe the finest Coffee Machines on the market and are now under the Philips umbrella.

The nice thing about these machines is that most use ground coffee beans, which you can easily buy or you can grind your own if you like, Some of them can take the full bean and grind them internally as well.
This makes them much more economical to use than some other brands out there that are restricted to some form of pod or capsule.
Plus there is no shortage of different ground coffee types or coffee beans out there to try.

I'll post up the specs for a couple of the machines as a taster to start with
After seeing and touching them in the flesh you get great feeling of quality and solidity from them - they'll provide many years of use


This is the Gaggia Cubika Plus







It features -
an all metal body
A large 2ltr water tank
A Pannarello steam attachment for perfect foam
can make 2 cups at once
1100watt power
15bar pump pressure
takes ground coffee

Its spec sheet can be found here
This model will be priced at €229.99


A little higher up the range is the Gaggia Classic


This is a great machine

It features -
Stainless Steel body
Professional chromed brass filter holder and ring
Soleniod Valve which elimiantes hot spots which can burn the coffee
A large 2.1 ltr water tank
A Pannarello steam attachment for perfect foam
can make 2 cups at once
1300watt power
15bar pump pressure
uses ground coffee

Its spec sheet can be found here
This will sell for €349.99

Now this one looks very cool especially in deep RED, its called the Gaggia Espresso Colour, its also available in BLACK and goes by the name Gaggia Espresso Pure


[Embedded Image Removed]

Thes best photo I can find at the moment - its a new model and is a little more compact than the others but still fully featured

ABS Plastic Body
A 1.25ltr water tank
A Pannarello steam attachment for perfect foam
Professional chromed brass filter holder and ring
can make 2 cups at once
1100watt power
15bar pump pressure

This will be priced at €239.99

@dubguy45,

Get a grip man, the fact that you don't drink coffee is neither here nor there, those are real chromey Italian-looking-design machines with knobs and spouts and pumps and blah bar pressure and 1300 watts and everything, you know you need one of them, imagine it glinting and gleaming in the morning sun on your kitchen counter !!

Anymore whinging from anyone and I'll be getting out the ban stick (if I can find it......)

1300 watts will blow my ears off.

That's great news,
I have had a baby gaggia for years and am really satisfied with it. I set me heart on a gaggia brera but can't justify buying it because of the price difference between retailers here and in Europe.
Amazon.co.uk £559 :eek:
Amazon.de €334
I'm looking forward to see what you'll be able to sell it for.
Best of luck with the range anyway, classy products.

@ Dubguy45 - the Coffee will blow the cobwebs away!
@ Ritz - They are very sexy devices - Form and fuction in a tasty package
@ Molzer2 - thanks, I should have a better idea over the coming weeks of what models will be available and at what price.

keep eyes peeled

cheers all
Ash

smcelhinney

Im there! Was looking for a Baby Twin (careful now people..), do you stock those?

Richersounds.ie: Ashley

Hi Smcelhinney

I have not received the full range listing as yet so I'm not 100% sure as to what we will finally see:o

I should have more info by the end of the month.
We should have a pretty good range to offer out.

Once I have confirmed pricing and models I'll update this post straight away here.

Cheers
Ash

Molzer2

Any update guys?:)

Richersounds.ie: Ashley

Hi folks

I should finally see the new Gaggia range in next week:D

I'll postup here with the latest pricing and models once I have confirmation.

Looking forward to "testing" these out when they come in......

Molzer,

Thanks for the post & apologies for the delay getting back to you...

...We now have the Gaggia window display..

.......We now have the Gaggia Bonus gift packs...

........... We now have the Gaggia display cabinet..

................We still don't have any Gaggia machines (we do hope to have stock, finally, Tomorrow....

I know it sounds crazy but I can't tell you what's incoming - we're not expecting the Brera as, although I think it's absolutely beautiful, the projected € price is €699 and I'm trying to get a more competitive price - I'll chase again tomorrow (Friday) and revert...

I do hope to have some excellent offers on the RI8151 Cubika

and the RI8154 and the RI8161..


I'll have more info and firm pics and pricing tomorrow (hopefully.

Thanks again for the enquiry and your patience - we really should be brewing coffee tomorrow in Dame Street!

Hi Ashley,
Is there a difference between that machine and this one @ £169 delivered?

Richersounds.ie: John

KC,

I'll look into this for you and revert on asap - we've just had these machines delivered yesterday and to be fair included in our price we're offering a really beautiful Gift pack including really high quality Gaggia Cups, Saucers, Choccies, Coffee and other bits n pieces.

I also understand that there may be some old stock from prior to the Philips / Gaggia takeover which is still kicking around in the UK - as it appears that we are competitive on the other models (even before the gift packs..)

- however I'll speak to Mrs. Gaggia at Philips Towers and revert as soon as I have any news....never hurts to ask ..and as ever we will do our very best for you..

Thanks again for the post and drop me a line if we can assist in any way,

ATVB,
