sort of sixties, sort of now
Comparison:
It makes just as good coffee as the Classic, for example.
This trendy little machine is built as well as the Classic, Amante, Espresso, Cubika and Baby versions from Gaggia. Its not steel, granted, but sturdy and quality never the less.
It doesn't feel like most Delonghi's (for example) or usual household economy brands.
Water:
It heats up really fast and froths/ steams well and reliably.
Value:
For a starter machine that doesn't break the bank - this really ticks all the boxes. You'll get a great shot every time with a superb crema - better than more expensive machines! Got to give it 5/5 within its price range Kind of like a Honda (if you get my drift!). Not as good as a Mercedes etc, but better than a Fiat! :-). Most Gaggia's are Honda's - great products, reliable, do their job - but Not quite top of the range.
Operation:
The design works very well in a small area - so ideal for most standard kitchens.
Summary:
Bottom line is....Get good beans, and a quality grinder & this will serve you well.

Hello! Please, could you tell me how I can get a good crema with this Gaggia? Do you know if exists an auxiliary piece that I have to buy to get a really good crema? I always have troubles on this way... Thanks for your help!
