Gaggia Titanium Espressomaschine

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 in about 25 days after purchase, the machine began to leak water from its steam wand even when just requesting a coffee with no steam. The problem compounded to leaking water from the top right hand side that would accumulate in a puddle beneath. You can also hear hissing from the steam chamber.

The manufacturer responded to my complaints early and offered to pick it up. But really after spending 800E this is not a good start. Italy-outlet.co.uk, the retailer are presently blanking my e-mails
