-The machine heats up quickly, as it is 1900W.
-It is made in Italy and it is indicated on the machine itself (on the left side if I'm not mistaken).
-It is made of plastic, but I have no issue with its quality for the price of 190 euros that it was purchased for, as I preferred it to have a PID and a better internal mechanism, rather than having some fake metal on the outside to increase the price and being made in China.
-It is not automatic, but semi-automatic, meaning you put the coffee in yourself, tamp it, and press the button, and the coffee machine makes it for you.

My only complaint is that when it rains for 2 seconds on the coffee (and after a short pause it starts producing it), during that "wetting" a little bit of coffee drips into the cup. This is negative because the 1-2 seconds are not enough to adequately heat up all the coffee you put in, so this juice is wasted. However, if you make coffee and find the golden ratio for how much coffee to put in the filter and how much to tamp it, you won't have this issue. (Don't ask me, I haven't bothered to find this golden ratio because it varies depending on the blend and the grind of the coffee, so good luck with that.)

As a taste and usability experience, I give it excellent. Very fast and depending on the blend, very good coffee. Also, very practical where the water tank is located because finally the water level is visible (compared to most others where the tank is not directly accessible). And also, very happy with the steam wand, which makes very creamy froth (I have completely removed the plastic attachment and use it without it). I had a Kenwood for over 7 years and after it paid off, I decided to move on. I was leaning towards the Dedica, which I had bought for my parents about two years ago, but as soon as I discovered the Gaggia espresso machine at this price point (and with PID!), I decided to take the plunge. Very satisfied. I would like to try an extra bottomless portafilter which, based on other videos and reviews, should take the result to the next level!
