Great value for money

 

The Gaggia was a bit more expensive than our previous machine but at the price from Tesco it's well worth the money.\nWe've started grinding our own beans too and can now make fantastic coffee at home, it's has a really creamy finish to the expresso!

Gaggia RI8161/40 2.1 Classic Coffee Machine -Brushed Stainless Steel

 

Good Points: Produces an excellent frothy cup of espresso! Bad Points: You MUST use bottled water or risk progressive blocking (scaling) of the hot water 'coils' (that you can not directly access to clean). Only very regular use of Gaggia (SAECO)...

The first thing that strikes you when setting up the machine is that it looks lovely in its Brushed Stainless Steel. The second thing you notice is that the machine is very solid and built to exacting quality standards. Setting the machine up and...

Treat yourself!

 

I bought this after my delonghi icona started leaking and it was worth the extra money. Its solid construction and perfect design made the icona feel like a cheap toy. The pressurised basket is fiddly but it does improve the crema for a cheap espresso...

Excellent product -- poor delivery & customer service

 

Product is excellent. The problem I had was the first machine I received did not work. So I visited my local store to get a replacement. I was told I would get a new machine within a few days but I had to visit the store twice and make numerous phone...
