  • Mostly Love It
I like everything about this machine except the coffee temperature. I'm a "sipper", and this isn't really hot to begin with. It rather defeats the purpose to have to heat up your drink in the microwave. However, all else is spot on. It brews a great espresso and related drinks. It is easy to keep clean and is very solid and well built. I would buy it again even with the temp dislike. Solved the problem by buying JoyJolt double wall glass cups (sold on Amazon). ... show more

  • Gaggia is still the best!
Our old Gaggia super-automatic sprung a leak and bit the dust this year, after 15 years of reliable service. While we shopped around other brands for a replacement, we gravitated back to Gaggia on the basis of three things: 1) Gaggia was the first to market a large, commercial espresso machine, many years ago, 2) the machine’s reliability, based on our prior experience, is hard to beat, and 3) the coffee tastes amazingly good, just as we remembered. Also, the Gaggia is still built in Italy. The Velasca Prestige is a bit smaller than our first Gaggia, with an attractive brushed stainless steel front panel and chromed drip tray cover. The water reservoir and used “puck” container are both located conveniently at the front where they are easily removed to refill or empty. A large bean reservoir sits atop the unit. It holds about half a can of Illy beans, so doesn’t need frequent refilling. There are plenty of user-adjustable options (READ THE MANUAL or you won’t get the most out of the machine) for preparing coffee drinks, plus a front-loaded milk frother container that can sit in the fridge in between coffee-making sessions. The coffee, in whatever style you may like is uniformly delicious. My only issues with the machine are that the water reservoir is small and requires frequent refilling and ditto for the puck container. I imagine Gaggia was trying to keep the machine within reasonable dimensions to fit conveniently on a countertop, which it does nicely. Speaking from almost 20 years of experience using Gaggia super-automatics, read the manual, buy the cleaning products, and maintain the machine regularly. There is a learning curve, both for preparing drinks and for cleaning the machine, but you get to drink some great coffee during the process. Enjoy! ... show more

  • Latte Love for this machine - 8/16/19 update
I have been using this about two weeks now and love it! I make two to four cups per day. It really is very easy to use and clean. One important note....If there is coffee bean residue, it does not mean it is a return or refurbished. The machines are tested with coffee at the factory, cleaned after testing and packaged. Expect a small learning curve. Once you get the hang of it, it is really amazing. With the first cup I made, the puck was mushy, almost soupy. So I looked online and the grinder needed to be adjusted to a finer setting. Here it got a little interesting...I had read on line that it is much better to adjust the grinder while it is running but it won't run without the lid on making it impossible to adjust while it is running as where you adjust it is under the lid. There is a way around this is...You fill with beans, hold a magnet where the lid magnet would be and press a drink button...as it is grinding you can now adjust it. If you go this route, be careful to keep you fingers clear of the grinder. The finer the grind the bolder the flavor. If it is too fine the coffee will tend to have a bitter flavor. So only adjust it a little bit at a time. Cleaning the unit is very simple and doesn't take much time. It needs to be thoroughly cleaned once a week. Which is really just rinsing everything and removing the brew group to rinse well. After the coffee is brewed and has sat for a bit, you will hear the unit turn back on and hear it running. At first I thought oh no what is wrong. But it is only running a bit of water through to rinse everything before it goes to standby mode. Cleaning the Milk Carafe - When you are done making your drinks, run the quick clean. This rinses out the spout of the Carafe. When it is done I just put it in the refrigerator for the next day. Once a week I take it apart and thoroughly clean it. It looked a little intimidating in the instructions so I watched a you-tube video on how to take it apart. It actually is really easy to follow the step by step directions in the book but the video gave me a good idea on how it all comes back together. The only issue I have had so far is inserting the milk carafe (frother) into the machine. It just doesn't seem to go in very smoothly. After using it many times, it does seem a little better so I don't know if it was just learning how to insert it or it just has to be broken in. I am very happy with my purchase. I did purchase the extended four year warranty because I caught it on a day where it was only an additional $25.00. The manufactures warranty is good for one year and you can download the service manual from the Gaggia website along part list, instructions manuals etc. Update: Still love making coffee with this machine! A few things I have learned... When emptying the coffee ground container make sure the unit is turned on. Sometimes the empty indicator light was coming on and there would only be one or two pucks in the drawer. I did some reading and it was because at times I was emptying it when the machine was off. Has not happened since...the drawer is always full when the light comes on now. To brew 2 shots of espresso at once, push the button twice..x2 will show on the display(duh can't believe how long it took me to figure that one out). Finally, I added a picture of a cappuccino with a thermometer. The unit is set on the highest temperature and the cup was at room temperature, not heated. It is consistently 140-141°F when done. The milk froth was 140°F before the coffee was added. The SCA recommends heating milk to 139–149°F with a maximum temperature of 158°F and minimum of 122°F. So while I would like it a little warmer, it heats as it should :) ... show more

  • Love it
This is the best automatic espresso and cappuccino maker we have bought. And long lasting! Just keep it clean!

  • Perfect cappucino !
Did my research. Am a very picky coffee drinker. I've had many espresso machines and 1 Philips/Saeco automatic that only lasted less than 2 years. This appeared to be convenient and easy to clean, plus Italian Gaggia is a brand well known for best quality coffee. Not worth it for me to save $200 and get a Chinese brand name. And it looks great ! It is super easy to operate and clean. So easy to use milk container. I fill milk to max and use for a few days, run clean circle and put back in fridge right away. I keep a cup under dispenser to catch water. I've used medium and dark roast, and get perfect crema and milk froth. Its very easy to operate, selecting coffee strength and type. So far so good. I love it ! ... show more
