This is a great machine. The only reason I do not give it 5 stars is because the learning curve to figure out how to get great espresso out of it is a little steep, and it is like a small Italian sports car in that it can be temperamental. from Amazon.com I was able to test this machine at Peet's (great customer service, I would have bought from them if I had wanted it). I worked as a barrista in college and I know how to make excellent espresso drinks, having made thousands. from Amazon.com I went through about 10 different espresso machines and finally concluded that the Gaggia Classic is the best one for under $1000. I had gone through 2 KitchenAid Pro Espresso Machines and they both broke. from Amazon.com If you're looking to get a "real" home espresso machine, this would be the entry level to get. Enough pressure, solenoid valve, well made, stainless look. from Amazon.com This is a well built machine, does a great job of making espresso drinks, and is a pleasure to use. I investigated several automatic machines in the price range of the Gaggia, but in the final analysis, I was not willing to trade convenience for robustness of the Gaggia. from Amazon.com It makes a nice espresso, but really struggles generating flow with the pods. And, alas, shortly thereafter it started to leak pretty badly around the pump. Sent back to the vendor, who informed me that none of the espresso machines that promise ESE compatibility are very good at it. Sigh. from Amazon.com I bought this for my boyfriend after loads of research, as he's very particular about his coffee. On the plus side, the foamer works great! from Amazon.com During the past few years I've changed 4 coffee grinders and 5 espresso machines trying to find a combo, which would be able to produce professional quality cappuccino and espresso shots. I wasn't satisfied till I bought Gaggia MDF Burr grinder and Gaggia Classic espresso machine (~$700 for both). from Amazon.com To make real italian caff , one would need a professional machine, retailing at around 5 grand (the cheaper ones - some go up to staggering 20 thousand dollars). Besides the somewhat restrictive price, these machines need about half an hour to heat up, consume an obscene amount of electricity and demand constant maintenance. from Amazon.com I've had this machine now for two years. I did a lot of research before purchasing this particular machine and I could not be happier with it. from Amazon.com
