Win a Gaggia Classic Espresso Machine in December’s Free Prize Draw
In our December free prize draw we are giving you the chance to win a Gaggia Classic Espresso Machine. Due to the incredible response that we received to last month’s competition when we gave away two Gaggia Baby D Espresso machines, we have decided to give people another chance to win a Gaggia coffee machine.
The Gaggia Classic is the best selling of all Gaggia’s coffee machines. It normally retails on the Pots and Pans Website for £274.99, this is £24 below the normal recommended retail price of £299.95.
If you want to win the Gaggia Classic Espresso Machine you need to visit the competition page on the Pots and Pans website. When you get there all you need to do to enter the competition is complete the form on the page. The page also contains more information and details about the rules for the competition.
We are still offering a free gift for anybody who orders goods worth £100 or over on the Pots and Pans website. In keeping with the festive time of the year we are now giving a free set of Tom Smith Crackers to anybody who spends £100 or over. In 1847 Thomas J. Smith, the founder of the Tom Smith company invented the cracker. His original crackers actually contained sweets and not gifts as the present version does. Several years later in effort to differentiate their crackers from rival companies who copied their original idea his son decided to include gifts and hats as well as introducing variations on the design of the cracker.
We are still offering free delivery on all orders of £75 or over for customers in Great Britain. There is an equivalent discount for customers outside of Great Britain.

The first of the new additions are two new 5 piece pan sets from Raymond Blanc by Anolon. Both of these pan sets include a milkpan, 16cm, 18cm and 20cm saucepans and a 24cm frying pan or skillet. The first of these pan sets is from the Stainless Steel range. We are currently selling this pan set for £149.99, which is a £95 saving on the recommended retail price. The second pan set is from the Raymond Blanc by Anolon Professional range. This is presently retailing for £125, this is £90 below the usual recommended retail price.
There is also a new 4 piece pan set from Circulon. The Circulon Steel Elite 4 Piece Pan Set includes 16cm, 18cm and 20cm saucepans along with a 20cm skillet or frying pan. This pan set is currently available for £149.99, this is £95 below its recommended retail price.
Other new additions to the website include several new serving dishes by Prestige. These dishes have all been made with double walled insulated stainless steel, this has been used as it enables the dishes to maintain a consistent temperature. The serving dishes are available in different shapes, there is a round serving dish as well as different sized versions of the oval shaped serving dish.
Also new on the website are seven new models of Krups coffee machines. Included among the new machines are three colour variations of the popular Dolce Gusto model, as well as the standard black model there are now Ivory and Red models which are now available on the website. We have also started to stock the Dolce Gusto Circulo model. This machine as the name suggests features an unique circular design that makes it look unlike any other coffee machine currently available. The Dolce Gusto Circulo is more than just a striking looking coffee machine though, it also makes a fantastic cup of coffee.
There has also been a major increase in the range of Joseph Joseph products that we stock. We are now stocking numerous designs of their worktop savers, including the designs based round the inside of fruit. This includes the kiwi, orange, tomato and onion designs. Other new Joseph Joseph products that have been added to the website include a stylish new salad bowl, and an ergonomically designed colander. If you are a fan of Joseph Joseph you will instantly recognise their unique design style in both of these new products. They share a chic modern aesthetic which helps give them the look and feel that is unique to Joseph Joseph products.
Even in the run up to Christmas, the busiest time of the year for an online retailer, we are continuing to expand the ranges that we stock. We are continually on the lookout for new ranges that we believe will add value to our online cookware and kitchenware store. If you believe that there is a range we should be stocking that we currently don’t have let us know and we will see what we can do about adding it.
Win a Gaggia Baby D Espresso Machine
We have decided to something special for our November free prize draw. This month we are going to give two people the chance to win a Gaggia Baby D Espresso Machine. If you were to buy of these on the high street you would normally expect to pay £329.95.
Gaggia are widely considered to be one of the world’s leading manufactures of coffee machines. They have earned this reputation not only from the quality of the coffee makers that they produce but also because just as importantly because of the quality of the coffee that is produced by their machines.
Achille Gaggia the founder of Gaggia, patented the first modern steamless coffee machine in 1938. He originally developed this coffee machine to be used commercially in his own coffee bar. Ten years later, in 1948, he decided to start producing coffee machines full time. He founded Gaggia, the company that bares his name for this purpose. Originally the company produced professional coffee machines for use in commercial establishments. It was only in 1977 that they started to produce machines that were intended for use in the home. The Baby models were the first home machines that Gaggia produced. Since the original machine was produced in 1977 Gaggia have continued to refine and update the Baby Espresso Machine with each new model. Manufacturing coffee machines for the home now accounts for the majority share of Gaggia’s business. They still produce all of their coffee machines in Milan.
If you want to win one of the two Gaggia Baby D Espresso Machines then you should visit the competition page on the Pots and Pans website. This page has instructions for how to enter the competition and well as more information about the competition rules.
Le Creuset 3-Ply Stainless Steel and new Magimix Nespresso coffee machines added to the website

The latest additions to our online cookware shop include the new Le Creuset 3-Ply Stainless Steel cookware range as well as the new Magimix Nespresso coffee machines.
Le Creuset has always been one of the most popular and definitely one of our top selling brands. We expect to find that the new Le Creuset 3-Ply Stainless Steel range will be as popular as the existing ranges from this world renowned cookware manufacturer. Although they are best known for their cast iron cookware range the new 3-Ply range is made from a mixture of high grade stainless steel combined with a dash of aluminium. The pans have an aluminium core which ensures that heat is spread evenly across the pan which eliminates hotspots. The pans in the new Le Creuset 3-Ply range are suitable for use on gas and electric hobs as well as induction hobs. All the stainless steel products in this new range come with a life time guarantee, the non-stick coated products in the range have a 10 year guarantee.
We have also started to sell the new range of Magimix Nespresso coffee makers. All of the new coffee machines have been produced to use Nespresso Grands Crus capsules. There are currently 16 different flavours of coffee available in the Grands Cru range. We use one of these machines in our office so we can agree that they do as they claim make the perfect espresso every time.
These are not the last of the new ranges that we will be adding to the Pots and Pans website, we will continue to keep you informed when we add new ranges or expand our existing ranges.
Gaggia Coffee Machines – Back in Stock !
Gaggia have a long history of producing quality coffee machines for both home and commercial use. We have been retailing their machines for many years but unfortunately their parent company SAECO has recently become a casualty of the recession.
Gaggia UK has also been hit by a very weak pound and the combined effect has been to make Gaggia products unavailable in the UK.
The GOOD NEWS is that Phillips has announced that it will be acquiring the SAECO Group and as a result Gaggia has been saved!
Gaggia UK Supply
We have been unable to get Gaggia machines or coffee for several months due the difficulties faced by the UK distributor. Several popular models such as the Classic and Cubika are manufactured in Italy exclusively for the UK market and supplies had dried up as the companies future was in doubt.
Current Position
Gaggia have just restarting supplying the UK and as one of their long standing retailers we will be the first to receive the popular Gaggia Classic and Gaggia Cubika machines.
We will also be receiving stocks of their popular coffee over the next few weeks.
Thank you to all our Gaggia customers for your patience over the last few months.
