Italy has a long history of producing high-quality coffee, and many people around the world associate the country with the art of making a great espresso, cappuccino and latte macchiato. With the release of the new Gaggia Accademia fully automatic coffee machine, Gaggia brings the taste and expertise of Italian coffee into the homes of their customers. The wide full color display features an intuitive, modern and responsive user interface that was developed with TARA Systems’ Embedded Wizard.
Gaggia, an iconic Italian espresso machine manufacturer for over 85 years, is known for quality and innovation. In 1938, founder Achille Gaggia patented a system to brew espresso with hot water pressure, creating the “authentic Italian espresso with crema naturale.” Originally producing professional machines for coffee shops, the company expanded in 1977 to home espresso machines. Guided by expertise, passion, and heritage, Gaggia’s mission is to turn everyday coffee moments into bespoke home barista experiences.
When Gaggia introduced a touch display for their new coffee machines, they chose Embedded Wizard to create an intuitive, user-friendly, and visually appealing GUI. Additionally, it was important that the GUI was customizable for different markets, as Gaggia sells their products all over the world. Focused on simplicity, clear feedback, and reliable performance on resource-limited hardware, the interface was designed by Gaggia, with Embedded Wizard's official distributor and partner in Italy, Tecnologix, supporting the implementation.
