  I have had it in my possession for three days and my opinions are only positive, even if I had my doubts about an automatic coffee maker. The coffee result is very high quality without me experimenting at all. The construction is quite good and the size is small (for an automatic) with menus in Greek. Cleaning it is easy, as long as you spend a little time on it. It is worth its money and will pay off very quickly

  I received it and immediately tried it out. I will come back later for a durability evaluation.
  A classic machine, with its portafilter, makes better coffee.
  This doesn't discourage me, as I initially tested it after 6 coffees and adjustments, and achieved a good coffee much better than any café outside.
  With my old little machine, I used to drink good coffee but it would get dirty, tired, and I couldn't make froth. Now, you wake up before work with your eyes closed and you're ready.
  Settings for good coffee: 1 grind size, 4 aroma, high temperature.
  I'm a little concerned about cleaning, descaling, etc., because Gaggia products are expensive.
  You need a descaling liquid, cleaning tablets for oil, tablets for milk system cleaning. I don't know if there are compatible ones.
  I hope it serves many coffees and lasts for many years, meaning it pays off.
  It will, because we don't go out anymore and we drink 4 coffees a day.

  I'm coming back after 5 months of use, with over 600 coffees so far.
  Coffee: the best I've ever had.
  It makes many drinks and you can also adjust aroma intensity, coffee dose, milk, and make everything.
  Ease of use: Easy and automatic.
  Maintenance: It's like a game, it teaches you a lot.
  Once a month, clean the milk frother.
  Once a month, use coffee cleaning tablets.
  Descaling, it notifies you, but it hasn't been necessary yet.
  Once a week, wash the brew group with water.
  Every 4 months, grease the brew group according to the instructions, a little game.
  Great coffee, depreciation has begun

  Well, Philips has taken over and manufactures for Saeco and Gaggia, so the basic parts like the brewing unit are common for all these machines. Compared to the Philips 5400, it is relatively quieter and has a more sophisticated appearance. Of course, it does not have user profile storage, but that is not so important in my case. On the other hand, the milk container is quite convenient as you can store it in the refrigerator. Additionally, it has a cleaning function for the brewing unit, which the Phillips does not have. At first, I was a little concerned about how to clean the milk frother nozzle, but it has an option to do that and it can be done very easily compared to the Phillips. It has more detailed settings regarding the quantity in ml of the coffee, which helps for more precise control. Other than that, I think it is an honest machine that truly makes your coffee the way you want it with just the press of a button, without any experimentation. So you get used to it and you are completely satisfied. Of course, you can explore a bit with the coffee varieties to find what you like the most. It is also compatible with filters that are for Philips Aquaclean, with a much longer lifespan of up to 5,000 coffees, almost at the same price (referring to the milk version)
