CoffeeSpecs does not sell and does not show shop prices: check the price where you buy.
Gaggia's Velasca Prestige is a bean-to-cup machine made in Italy: it measures 25.6 cm in width, 34 cm in height and 44 cm in depth, weighing 9.4 kg. The European version runs on 230 V, 50 Hz, and draws 1850 W.
The grinders are made of 100% ceramic, adjustable across 10 steps, fed from a 300 g bean hopper. The brew group is removable and rinses under running water; anyone who prefers pre-ground or decaf coffee can bypass the grinder.
The milk system is an integrated carafe that froths milk in two passes and cleans with a dedicated quick cycle; it's hand-washed under running water like the other removable parts, while only the drip tray plate is also rated for the dishwasher. The machine offers 6 drinks, including cappuccino and baby cappuccino.

Pros and cons
In favour
- The brew group is removable and rinses clean under running water, no service visit needed.
- 100% ceramic grinders adjustable across 10 steps, more durable than steel burrs.
- A pre-ground coffee option makes decaf easy without touching the bean hopper.
- A dedicated quick-clean cycle rinses the milk circuit without emptying the carafe. source
Worth knowing
- Gaggia does not disclose any user profiles or app connectivity for this model. source
- The milk carafe and the other removable parts are hand-wash only: just the drip tray plate is also rated for the dishwasher.
- Only 6 drinks, less than half of what the Magenta Prestige offers in the same Gaggia range.
