Gaggia S.p.A.
 PROFILE
If any company has grounds to celebrate, it's Gaggia, the company that marketed the first commercial espresso/cappuccino machine in 1947. Italian engineer Achille Gaggio founded the company after developing a piston system that could force hot water through finely ground coffee in a filtered basket in 1938. Gaggia offers nearly 30 commercial models of espresso machines, as well as some 40 different models for home use. The company also produces coffee grinders and machines that make gelato (Italian ice cream). Gaggia, which is controlled by the Bompani family, sells its products through distributors worldwide.
