  I really wonder about the good reviews. I'm in my third month and I regret the money I spent. I use Miss Rose and I cut at 1. Anywhere else it's a disaster. Yes, it heats up quickly, maybe the only positive thing about it. Non-existent frothing. The mechanism inside gets moldy within a week, I don't know how it's possible, maybe the water? I don't have a problem with cleaning, but it's excessive... Milk frother? Madness. I have experience with a professional machine and I know how to make proper froth, of course, with the barista's choice from Nounou's scooter. It doesn't work here... Lack of power? I saw that there's a video, I did the same, it just doesn't froth, it just heats up milk... I wouldn't buy it again.

  I have had it for 1 month and I am very satisfied with the coffee it makes. (The grinder is great, nice crema and full flavor). The quality of the coffee one chooses plays a big role. It takes a little practice to get used to the milk frother. The noise it makes is expected. For anyone who doesn't have high demands but wants to drink a nice espresso, it is one of the best purchases they can make.

  The result of the espresso is terrible even if the settings are at 1 (grind) and max (coffee grams) and max (water temperature). All tests were done with Illy coffee beans. I did not try frothed milk. For me, the machine is not worth its money.

  Whichever setting you use, you won't see a strong foam on your coffee, meaning intense froth. I have tried various coffee beans. In my personal opinion, get one around 150 to 200 € max and quickly make back your money and have a nicer foam. I'm always talking about manual, not automatic, as this one is only for show and aroma, don't waste your money on something so expensive but not as good quality coffee. No, it's not worth its money. Up to 300€ max, okay, not more, and you won't see strong foam, only watery no matter what I tried

  Very good espresso machine for home. I believe it's worth every euro. I use it daily for making hot and cold coffee. Also for frothed milk and drinks like hot chocolate. Those who have tasted the coffee have been impressed. It has settings for grinding the coffee from two to one for intense results. If you like coffee but don't want to get a manual one, it's a very good choice.

  What coffee should I get for good foam?
  It doesn't give me good foam at 1 to 2 that I grind.
  The money I spent is wasted.
  The ground coffee makes good foam.
  It has notable foam.
  It makes noise when grinding.
  The dial is not good; the buttons don't light up so you can see them.
  It dispenses water at 75 degrees C.
  It takes 9 grams of ground coffee.
  If you put in more, it throws it in the bin

  Purchased almost a month ago, really perfect coffee with grinding at level 2. The noise is so low that it doesn't wake up the others in the house at 6 in the morning! Very easy to use and the milk frother is very good!

  Very easy setup, it has memories, it doesn't make much noise, it doesn't wake up others, the coffee becomes very nice, I have the grind at 1. Cleaning is easy, as well as maintenance.

  Having ordered the product and expecting to receive it, can someone guide me on what extra products I will need for the general cleaning of the machine, including the grinder? I have done some research but I would like guidance from someone knowledgeable on this subject, as it is the first machine I am purchasing. The advice on settings for fredo espresso would also be extremely helpful (to avoid wasting a large amount of beans until I become familiar).

  A top proposal from Gaggia, as it always has accustomed us, in espresso machines. The machine produces high-quality coffee, comparable to the expensive machines used by professionals in coffee shops. Of course, the better the raw material you use (coffee beans), the better the result you get from your machine. We use Coffee Island's beans, specifically the Master Blend blend, which has excellent performance in both hot and cold drinks.

  So, comparing the coffee we bought from Coffee Island stores with the coffee produced by the machine, the result is exactly the same and even a very well-trained palate cannot tell which drink was bought from the coffee shop and which one was made by the machine!

  As for the milk frother, once again the machine has no rival, as the nozzle produces high-quality froth. If you are new to the whole process, it requires a little familiarization until you find the ideal way to prepare it. Once you get used to it, the whole process will be very easy and your drink will have an excellent texture! So, enjoy your drinks!

  After about 5 months of use, I'm thinking why I didn't buy it earlier. No comparison with coffee capsules. Easy to use and clean. The nozzle needs a little practice and you will be able to make good frothed milk. In terms of size, you can't say it's small, but it's definitely not huge. Before buying it, I was considering the Magenta Prestige, which is fully automated, but in the end, I think I made a better choice and spent less money.

  I have had it for about a month, I have to say that the panel it has with the settings is very good and easy to set up. You can choose the quantity, grind, strength, and of course it has memory so you can save the option you want. With 30ml of double espresso, it makes a very good crema, although it is still early and requires experimentation. The nozzle seems decent to me (although I just started making cappuccinos, so I'm not the best judge if it's good) personally, I am satisfied with the milk froth I make. I make about 2-3 doubles a day and every 4-5 days, the water and coffee container needs to be emptied. It's not terribly difficult, you can clean it in 20 seconds. I also put the filter in the water container and it needs to be refilled about once a week. Truly a very good construction, beautiful, easy to use, and it makes good espresso.

  The only thing left is experimenting with different types of coffee, light/medium roast single origin, and adjusting the grind to 2-3.

  After a month of intense use, the conclusion is that the machine is very good and definitely worth its money. It makes very good frothed milk for cappuccino. As for the choice of coffee, it depends on each person's preference. For settings, after intense testing, I ended up with the following: 30ml quantity, grind at 1, high temperature, intensity at 5, and double dose for both espresso and cappuccino.

  Excellent solution for good, quality coffee at home. After making 3-4 kilograms of coffee, I can say that it's worth its money. Compact in size, it doesn't take up much space on the countertop, it's relatively quiet. At 6 in the morning, when I make a double espresso and it grinds twice, it doesn't wake up the rest of the sleeping family.

  Its menu is easy, you learn it easily. Although for now, the option I have worked with is for espresso, double espresso, and steam. After a few tests and some wasted coffees, you find the best solution for the coffee. Personally, I don't know why they have the option to grind from 1-5 since the best result is achieved up to 2. I started from there and ended up at 1. From 2 and above, the coffee was quite watery without body.

  Owner of the machine for a month now. Well, I use Mrs Rose coffee, but tastes vary. The machine has several options for coffee that even a novice can make because they are all automated. The only thing I haven't been able to do well is frothed milk for cappuccino. I have changed 3-4 types of milk but it doesn't become thick enough, it gets a nice texture but a little watery. Now, it could be my fault or it could be the machine, we'll see. I have watched several videos but the result is the same. I don't know. Anyway, in general, it is very good and you will drink good coffee as long as you find the right setting for you, it is very easy to clean.
