Title: Gaggia Espresso Machine
Review: This is our (wife and self) 5th espresso machine in 12 years. This included De Longhis, Mr. Coffee and Capresso. Four wore out, mainly in the area where the coffee holder is inserted - never the pump (even though one was accidentally run dry all night). The last one (a Capresso semi-automatic) self-destructed when the rotating shaft snapped and the entire mechanism exploded.The Gaggia took a few days to get used to - fineness of grind, pressure when tamping and experimentation with the "Perfect Crema" device. It now delivers reliable espresso and cappucino with very finely ground regular coffee solidly packed in, or decaf ground somewhat less finely and packed in less solidly. Both give a good crema without the "Perfect Crema" gadget.So far we are quite pleased with this machine and would rate it as very good.
