Anima Deluxe is a superautomatic with an automatic cappuccinatore: a suction tube draws milk from an external container and froths it with the MILK FROTH button, with no carafe to fill and refit. The built-in grinder uses ceramic burrs, fed by a 250-gram bean hopper; for those who'd rather skip it, a dedicated compartment takes pre-ground coffee, though it only brews one cup at a time.
The brew group is removed by pressing the PUSH lever and rinsed under running water, with no detergent and no dishwasher; the manual recommends greasing it on a schedule tied to use, from every 4 months at 1-5 coffees a day to monthly beyond 10. The cappuccinatore is rinsed after every milk drink and comes apart for a deeper monthly clean with Gaggia's milk-circuit product. The machine flags on its own when it's time to descale, with a cycle of about 30 minutes to run only with Gaggia's own descaling solution.
The interface relies on four dedicated physical buttons (ESPRESSO, ESPRESSO LUNGO, MILK FROTH, HOT WATER): a no-frills machine for anyone who wants a handful of drinks always one press away.
