Gaggia Platium Vision 90950 Automatic Espresso Machine with Free Milk Island, Champagne

I've owned semi automatic machines in the past and let me tell you, this machine certainly brews a better espresso than any of those machines ever did! Just to prove a point to my husband, I brewed him an espresso at home last night, then took him to our favorite cafe this morning and bought him one, and then I heard those beautiful words, "You were right." Music to my ears! So if you're looking for a tasty espresso, that requires no effort or thought what-so-ever, give this machine a whirl and you won't be sorry!

At first I turned on the machine, it started a espresso and turned off in the middle and I thought, the machine is bad. Then I realized that I did not have the plug in the back of the unit all the way in. Once I set the machine up and ran a couple drinks through to adjust it I knew this machine was good. The espresso looked very close to the best with proper crema, smell and color.

I have not tried the milk island because I have no room, It is probably cool but I do not see a need as the hand unit works excellent.

This machine is replacing a Saeco Syntia, all I can say is purchase the Gaggia Platinum, no comparison in drink quality. The Syntia is going back to the store it was purchased.

Next I steamed some milk by hand and made a Latte, excellent job, the taste was amazing.

Pros

1. Looks, very nice looking machine.

2. Makes excellent quality drinks.

3. Timers and displays are a snap to setup.

4. The quality of espresso will amaze you.

5. Lazy Susan base works perfect for access.

Cons

The steam nob on the side seems lose, this might be the way it is supposed to be I have nothing to compare it to.

I purchased this product and while it has a lot of nice features like touch screen, programability, motorized drip tray it definitely is lacking in quality. I used the espresso maker for a few days and then it decided to stop brewing coffee and instead leak water out of the inside of the machine. I had to mop up my kitchen counter and there is no way for you to get inside of the machine to see where the leak is coming from. I've owned 3 gaggia makers and one Jura Capresso and I would tell everyone that the Jura is definitely a better machine. My first gaggia completely stopped working after 3 years. My replacement gaggia stopped working in less than a month, but that was covered under warranty. I got a replacement which had to go in for repairs 3 months later for some rattling noise. Supposedly the interior mechanics was rubbing up against the exterior plastic. Well that depot repair lasted for a few months before it stated happening again. Unfortunately it cost me $40 to ship the coffee maker to the repair shop and another $40 for the return. And now this latest machine broke after a few days.

On the plus side when it worked it was great. It was easy to program, the touch screen was intuitive, brewed a HOT cup of coffee and the grinding was quieter than previous models.

If you want headaches and aggravation then buy Gaggia. If you want quality look at a Jura
