GaggiaSuper-automatic espresso machine

My Gagia automatic allows others in the family to make various types of coffee, including those some may find somewhat difficult to make, e.g., Cappuccino. Now we can all have whatever type of coffee we want whenever we want. True steam wand, rare for an automatic, is a real bonus feature, as I like true Macchiato espressos. Only down side with coffee maker--when it needs even the most basic routine service, e.g., new coffee beans, entire cycle is disrupted, and, once corrected, you must start over. Would be better if cycle were completed, followed by warning that service must take place before making next coffee product. Love this coffee maker, and don't miss my former 'Barista' life style (had two previous espresso machines)--ease and consistent quality of drinks with Gaggia automatic trump everything else!

One of the best bean to cup coffee makers out there. It does cost a bit, but the quality and design is worth it. A decent footprint means it doesn't use a lot of worktop space, while the design means its a talking point when people visit. A very easy to use machine that produces a super coffee if looked after well. The milk attachment allows consistent lattes to be created, while the multiple programming options make it easy to adjust for preferences. Unfortunately like any super-automatic machine, the milk heating mechanism is not the best, but the Accademia has a steam wand unlike other similar machines that allows the temperature to be raised just right for that perfect latter.

Machine is a great design my only challenge is the temperature of the drinks tend to be Luke warm.

Very easy to use,- many setting opportunities but the milk is too cold and the hot water as well.
