95% of the contact surface users touch is made of tempered glass, making it the safest professional espresso machine on the market.

Quality Espresso, has pioneered the use of tempered glass in coffee machines, which is one of the best-acting materials against biofilms (bacterial microorganism colonies) and against Covid-19, thus increasing user safety. And the Gaggia Vetro is the benchmark brand as 95% of the contact surface that users touch is made of tempered glass.

There are multiple advantages with tempered glass: maximum hygiene as it facilitates easy cleaning and disinfection with regular cleaning products without altering its characteristics, less adherence of dirt and external agents, quick cleaning of the surface after each use, great durability and resistance as it does not deteriorate due to products that are more or less acidic which necessary to remove lime from the water, minimal maintenance, high resistance to heat and humid environments, and it is a 100% recyclable material.

In addition, the Gaggia Vetro has pushbutton controls integrated into the glass itself, with a completely smooth surface void of gaps or joints, increasing user safety against possible contagions derived from the formation of biofilms and against Covid-19. These safety and hygiene features are backed by certification from the NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) in the United States.

Its elegant, smooth, clean, and aseptic tempered glass exterior alone doesn’t make the Gaggia Vetro the safest machine on the market as its interior is also safe thanks to the use of uncoated copper in the manufacture of its boilers, pipes, and other components. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognized copper as the metal with the highest bactericidal properties when it was observed that surfaces made of copper alloys inactivated different types of bacterial species (Wilks, et al., 2005; Yoon et al., 2007; Borkow & Gabbay, 2009).

Quality Espresso takes the health and wellbeing of its employees, customers, and partners very seriously. With innovations like the Gaggia Vetro, it is confirming its role as the leading company on the market for professional espresso machines. Quality Espresso is a company with over 65 years of history that encompasses tradition and innovation, and is present in more than 90 countries.
