Meet the Gaggia G100: Big Coffee Energy in a Compact Package
If you’ve ever dreamed of serving barista-quality coffee without the drama of a full-sized espresso setup, we’ve got good news — the new Gaggia G100 has arrived, and it’s everything you’d expect from Italy’s most iconic coffee brand.
This little powerhouse brings together heritage, technology, and sustainability, wrapping them up in a sleek, compact machine that looks as good as the drinks it makes. Whether you run a hotel, restaurant, office space or showroom, the G100 was built for one thing — to make incredible coffee, cup after cup, with zero fuss.
Gaggia G100
A Little History: The Name Behind the Magic
Before we get into the shiny tech bits, let’s take a quick trip back to where it all started.
In 1938, Achille Gaggia — an Italian barista with a flair for invention — changed the course of coffee history. He discovered a new way to extract espresso using pressure, creating that beautiful golden layer we now call crema. That silky topping didn’t just make coffee taste better; it became the hallmark of Italian espresso culture.
Fast-forward almost a century, and Gaggia Milano is still doing what it does best — perfecting extraction. The G100 continues that legacy in true Italian fashion: stylish, compact, and engineered for performance.
Small Footprint, Big Personality
The Gaggia G100 is proof that size isn’t everything. At just 31 cm wide, it’s surprisingly compact — the sort of machine that fits seamlessly on a counter without dominating the room. But don’t be fooled by its modest frame; this is a serious professional performer.
It’s designed to handle up to 100 cups a day, making it ideal for:
Offices and workplaces that value a proper coffee break
Boutique hotels and B&Bs
Restaurants and cafés that want consistent, high-quality coffee without a full barista station
Self-service areas where ease of use is key
With its 7-inch customisable touchscreen, users can glide through drink choices effortlessly. Whether you want a strong espresso, a silky cappuccino, or a perfectly balanced hot chocolate, the G100 walks you through it intuitively — no training required.
Fresh Milk or Powdered Milk? You Choose.
Gaggia knows that every location is different, so the G100 comes in two versions:
Fresh Milk Model – Perfect for that authentic café experience. It delivers barista-quality milk foam thanks to Gaggia’s Prime Milk technology, which whips fresh milk into silky microfoam that would make any barista jealous.
Powdered Milk Model – A convenient alternative for higher-traffic or low-maintenance setups. It uses a dedicated powdered milk system for creamy, consistent drinks — and no fridge required.
Both versions can be configured to suit your menu, handling two coffee blends and a range of milk-based or instant drinks, including chocolate and speciality recipes.
Built for Easy Living (and Easy Cleaning)
Anyone who’s ever had to clean a coffee machine knows it’s rarely the highlight of the day. Gaggia clearly got that memo, because the G100 is built for effortless maintenance.
The automatic milk-cleaning system runs cycles that keep the milk system hygienic without manual intervention.
The waste bucket removes easily without disturbing the drip tray.
The brewing group (the heart of the machine) is removable, so servicing or deep cleaning is quick and painless.
It’s all designed for self-service environments — perfect for offices, hospitality, or leisure settings where you want reliability and hygiene without daily hands-on maintenance.
Engineered for the Perfect Extraction
Behind the G100’s sleek exterior sits the legendary Gaggia Z4000 brewing system, a 16-gram powerhouse capable of delivering espresso that could make an Italian cry tears of joy.
Every extraction is optimised automatically to hit that elusive “sweet spot” — enough pressure to bring out the rich, chocolatey depth of the bean, but not so much that it over-extracts. The result? Balanced, smooth, consistent coffee, cup after cup.
Pair that with a 0.5 litre dual-boiler system (one for coffee, one for steam), and you’ve got a machine that keeps up with demand while maintaining precision temperature control. That means faster service and better flavour consistency — no “burnt” second cups or cold lattes halfway through the morning rush.
Smart, Connected, and Sustainable
The G100 isn’t just about great coffee — it’s about doing it responsibly.
A-Class Energy Rating: The G100 achieves top marks under EVA-EMP energy standards, using smart energy-saving modes to cut consumption when idle.
Built to Last: With a projected 7-year useful life, it’s designed for durability and low total cost of ownership.
Eco-Friendly Design:
34 % recycled steel and 39 % recycled paper in its construction
100 % renewable energy used in manufacturing
96 % product recyclability and 100 % recyclable packaging
Low Carbon Footprint:
Fresh Milk model: 204 kg CO₂ eq per year
Powdered Milk model: 161 kg CO₂ eq per year
That makes it one of the most eco-conscious machines in its class — proof that good coffee and good conscience can absolutely go together.
And if you’re into the digital side of things, the G100 is compatible with Evoca Digital Services. That means remote monitoring, telemetry, and even remote rebooting — perfect for fleet operators or multi-site customers who want eyes on every machine without needing to be on-site.
Designed for the Real World
What really stands out about the Gaggia G100 is how practical it is. Every design choice has been made with everyday use in mind:
Adjustable cup height (up to 160 mm) means it handles everything from espresso cups to tall takeaway mugs.
Flexible canisters:
Fresh Milk model – 1.2 kg beans, 0.47 kg milk, 1.4 kg chocolate
Powdered Milk model – dual 600 g bean canisters and 900 g chocolate
Simplified internal layout for quick refills and servicing.
Compact footprint: 308 × 570 mm depth with under 700 mm height (depending on version).
It’s stylish enough for a reception desk yet powerful enough for a busy breakfast service. That’s a rare balance.
Sustainability in Action
It’s easy for brands to throw around “green” buzzwords, but Gaggia backs it up with real data.
Lifecycle analysis shows that more than 80 % of the G100’s total environmental impact comes from use-phase energy — so improving efficiency there makes a big difference. The machine’s intelligent standby and boiler management save 13–16 % total energy compared to traditional systems.
Add in its high repairability rating (9/10) and near-total recyclability, and you’re looking at a machine that’s as responsible as it is reliable.
So yes, it makes amazing coffee — but it also helps businesses hit their ESG goals without compromising on quality or convenience.
The G100 Experience: Simplicity Meets Style
Using the G100 feels a bit like having an Italian barista trapped in a touchscreen. The 7-inch portrait display is fully customisable — you can load your own drink menu, brand colours, or even promotional messages.
It guides the user step-by-step, so even first-timers can make professional drinks confidently. And because it’s designed for self-service environments, it’s fast, intuitive, and consistent.
For hospitality sites, it’s a classy front-of-house statement piece. For offices, it’s a morale-boosting miracle worker. And for operators, it’s a dependable partner that just keeps pouring excellence — no drama, no downtime.
