100% (super) automatic at the best price, in a form factor that would fit on my counter, were my requirements. The Gaggia Syncrony Compact Digital was the clear winner. Biggest complaints: Vendor intentionally removes a non-essential item from the package before shipping but does not inform customer of this action; and the Operation Manual is poorly written. Great coffee maker.

I bought this unit when it first came out from Wholelattelove. Paid top dollar..I think 899. I had some leakage issues with the Saeco superautomatic units prior to this guy and the sales staff at WLL suggested this unit.

Amazing! It is probably on it's last legs but I have over 10,000 shots over the years. It has a double boiler so it makes steam immediately and maintains shot pressure. It has a grind and shot size adjustment and you can also make your shot fluid size any size by holding down the shot button until you are satisfied then let go. Remembers after that. Easy to clean the brew unit. Like all these devices you need to descale. Eventually you get behind and you send it in. I have once and it is still making good latte's.

For the money there really is no equivalent to this machine.

We waited in great anticipation for this expensive coffee machine to arrive in a week. But the disappointment was intense when the machine could not even get past the warning promt to fill water tank. Nothing worked. The plastic on the machine was flimsy, so unlike the Jura (Impressa 30) which I owned before at a lower price.

I am returning it and would not ever consider a Gaggia again due to this first impression quality problem. Never ever.

I bought this machine to make espresso drinks at home, but instead, I have a very expensive coffee machine that does not make good espresso. The convenience of the machine is wonderful, easy to clean, easy to fill, etc., but since I wanted espresso, I was disappointed. The espresso that it puts out is weak and does not have that espresso bite, but tastes pretty good with hot water added to it to make an Americano. If you want this type of conveinience, this is a good machine, but if you want true espresso, you will have to go with a semi auto and good grinder. Wish I Had!
