Welcome to Delicious and Aromatic world of Coffee Makers from Gourmia!

With the purchase of your new and innovative Gourmia 6500 Co�ee Maker, you’ll be able to make all your favorite co�eehouse beverages right in your own kitchen! Building on Italian heritage, this unique appliance has been designed to prepare delicious espressos and lungos quickly, conveniently and automatically with the touch of a button. ESPRESSO A unique method of co�ee brewing in which hot water is forced through �nely ground co�ee. Popular in Europe, it is a far richer and more full-bodied brew than regular drip co�ee. Because of its richness, espresso is usually served in 40-65ml (1.4-2oz) portions, in demitasse cups. LUNGO Lungo, the Italian word for long, is an espresso, which is prepared with more water. The Lungo Espresso is not just a variant but also the basis for other co�ee drinks such as the latte. The Lungo is not as intense as the espresso, but the taste is less bitter. Because of its �neness, a lungo is usually served in 100-130ml (3-4oz) portions, in large cups. CAPPUCCINO A drink made with about 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 frothed milk. All milk-based recipes such as cappuccinos and lattes can be prepared with the Gourmia 6500 Co�ee Marker.LATTE A drink made with about 1/4 espresso and 3/4 steamed milk. All milk-based recipes such as cappuccinos and lattes can be prepared with the Gourmia 6500 Co�ee Maker.
