Gaggia Milano La Nera GT1 1 Group Coffee Machine

The La Nera GT1 is rated at 2,700 W on 230 V, which is roughly 11.7 amps. In Australia that is more than a standard 10 amp outlet supplies, so it needs a dedicated 15 amp point installed by a licensed electrician. In other markets, check your local commercial power requirements.

Yes. It runs from a fixed mains water connection rather than a tank, and the boiler level is controlled electronically. You will need a cold water supply and a drain point near the machine.

Yes. The group has its own heat exchanger fed from the 5 litre copper steam boiler, so you can pull a shot and texture milk at the same time without waiting for the boiler to recover.

There is 91 mm between the cup tray and the coffee spouts. That suits espresso, cappuccino and latte cups, but not tall glasses or takeaway cups.

Yes. It has four programmable dose buttons plus a continuous-pour button, so baristas can set each recipe once and repeat it shot after shot.

It is built for low-to-medium volume: small cafes, offices, restaurants, bars and coffee carts with a fixed water supply. A café pouring hundreds of coffees through a single morning rush is better served by a 2 group machine.
