Why Choose the Gaggia Vetro?
1. Elegant Design Meets Durability
Crafted with 95% tempered glass on the exterior, the Vetro offers more than a sleek, modern appearance. This material is scratch-resistant, stain-repellent, and incredibly hygienic, making it ideal for high-traffic café environments. The glass also simplifies cleaning and provides a professional aesthetic that fits right into any upscale space.
Inside, the Vetro features copper boilers and stainless steel components, offering unmatched durability and heat retention. These materials not only ensure longevity but also reduce microbial buildup, promoting cleaner, safer coffee production.
2. Commercial-Grade Performance
With options for 2-group or 3-group configurations, the Vetro features independent heat-exchanger boilers. This means brewing and steaming can occur simultaneously without affecting temperature stability. You’ll be able to maintain consistent espresso quality during peak hours without any compromise.
Equipped with a 9-bar rotary pump, the Vetro delivers precise, consistent pressure with every shot—an essential feature for extracting rich crema and full-bodied espresso flavors.
3. Intuitive Touch Controls
The machine features backlit capacitive touch buttons, giving you full control in a sleek, modern interface. These controls are programmable, allowing baristas to fine-tune dosing, water temperature, and steam settings for different drinks. Whether you're pulling a single espresso or crafting a milk-based drink, the machine responds quickly and intuitively.
4. Easy Cleaning & Maintenance
Maintenance is streamlined thanks to features like the one-touch automatic backflush function. This allows you to clean group heads without manual disassembly—saving time at the end of the day. Components like the drip tray, steam wands, and brew groups are easy to remove and reassemble for deeper cleaning.
5. Versatile for Any Setup
Available in black or white finishes and both standard and tall-cup versions, the Gaggia Vetro adapts to any café or bar layout. The tall-cup version is perfect for takeaway service, accommodating larger cups without compromising shot quality.

The Gaggia Vetro offers optional Smartia connectivity, transforming your espresso machine into a connected smart device. With this feature, you can:
- Monitor performance remotely

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the Gaggia Vetro at home?
While it’s technically possible, the Vetro is built for commercial use. It requires a 220V power connection and a dedicated water line. For most home baristas, the Gaggia Classic or Classic Evo is more practical.
What are the main materials used in the Vetro?
The Vetro uses tempered glass for the outer body, and copper and stainless steel for internal components. This combination offers excellent durability, hygiene, and performance.
How often should I backflush the machine?
Backflush with water daily and use a detergent-based cleaner at least once a week. The Vetro’s one-touch backflush function makes this process quick and easy.
Is Smartia required for the machine to work?
No, Smartia is an optional add-on for remote monitoring and diagnostics. The machine functions perfectly without it.
What’s the difference between the standard and tall-cup versions?
The tall-cup version accommodates larger takeaway cups. It’s a great option if your café offers drinks to-go or uses 12–16 oz cups.
Does it come with a warranty?
Yes, the Gaggia Vetro typically includes a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty. Warranty terms may vary depending on your region and vendor.
Can I upgrade from the Gaggia Classic without changing accessories?
Some accessories like portafilters may not be compatible due to the commercial group heads. It’s best to confirm compatibility before transitioning.
