Gaggia Titanium Espressomaschine

Pro: Beautiful looking machine, rapid heating and steam production, lovely coffee

Contra: Doesn't give the impression it is built to last

Beurteilung: I was very excited to receive this wonderful looking machine
as a special treat for my wife and I. Unfortunately it has turned out to be the usual love-hate relationship one experiences with Italian machinery.

After about 80 coffees...

Pro: Makes good coffee when it works. Love the steamer good looks easy to keep clean

Contra: Way too sensative on types of coffee beans. Water pump not reliable.

Fazit: We never know when we have company if we can offer our guest coffee or if it will let us down once again.

Beurteilung: When it is working it makes good coffee. Unfortunatly the machine is very very sensative to its internal settings. The coffee beans get stuck in the grinding mechanisms, and it is not just a simple fix to get it unstuck or cleaned out. Our machine...

Pro: Good, fast espresso and lattes at the touch of a button.

Contra: Short lifetime; poor Customer Service; clunky Italian Post WWII industrial design.

Fazit: I expect a $1,500.00 espresso machine to last longer than two months. And for that amount of money, the dealer should replace it as quickly as possible. Buy locally.

Beurteilung: Maybe the Gaggia Titanium I bought only two months ago isn't as bad as the Customer Service at Whole Latte Love. It died. All of a sudden one Monday morning when I needed coffee. It doesn't power up at all. I called Customer Service at Whole Latte...

Pro: great coffee when it works

Contra: not reliable has a known flaw which is not addressed by the manufacturer expensive

Beurteilung: I bought this machine for a seasonal home. I used it for a total of 3 to 4 months in a 13 month period. Just off the 1 yr warranty period (I bought it 1 month before they switched to a 2 yr warranty) it started leaking. There is no service center in...

Pro: Good coffee and very convenient

Contra: Maintenance and support seem non existent.

Beurteilung: Purchased ours about a year ago from Whole Latte Love. The machine was great when it was working - but after about 1000 cups it has started leaking everywhere. Contacting Whole Latte Love has not been a pleasant experience and after a week we've not...

Pro: Great coffee (espresso and latte).

Contra: reliability (or lack thereof).

Beurteilung: When this machine works it is excellent, however in an 18 month period it has broken down 4 times. Luckily it comes with a 2 year warranty, but I dread to think what happens then. It has leaked, required a new brew unit, steam valve assembly amongst...

Pro: i managed to get 4 cups of coffee out of it.

Contra: dreadful after sales service. machine not fixed. very expensive. head office don't want to know.

Beurteilung: I live in France and bought this machine in Italy. It has broken twice. I have had 4 cups of coffee from it. To get it fixed the first time I have had to take it to the UK at my expense as there is no service centre in France. I have just plugged in...

Pro: Beautiful, lots of intuitive controls to fine tune your coffee, durable stainless steel.

Contra: Have some patience, making coffee is an experience not dealing with a crying baby.

Fazit: If your looking for a super Super Automatic espresso machine, this is one that you should highly consider.

Beurteilung: I have owned the Gaggia Titanium for 2 years and have 5200 cups. I am not sure how I was able to consume so much coffee, but perhaps it was because it was so good! My preferred drinks are flavored lattes and my husband drinks espresso's and lattes...

Pro: Durable, Exceptional Espresso, Feature Rich

Contra: None

Fazit: It's worth the investment if you are looking for exceptional espresso drinks on a daily basis.

Beurteilung: We had previously owned both of the Starbucks Automatic Espresso machines (non-digital and digital), both of which were produced by Seco, both of which had problems. The non-digital was replaced under warranty twice due to leakage problems, the...

Pro: Mmmm.

Contra: Breaks, stops working. Started breaking down very soon after purchase

Beurteilung: It has been hard to look past the constant breakdowns - buttons not working, steamer breaking down, grinder stopped grinding...

I have hated the whole experience. Gaggia importers have been unsupportive, and just say hey we'll keep on fixing...
