Rubbish Machine

I purchased this Machine December 2010 and apart from a few months coffee making, it has been nothing but trouble. It leaks like a sieve, has been returned twice to the supplier (Caffe Italia) but to no avail, still leaks and has now given up the ghost entirely.
I would recommend this machine like a hole in the head, not really what you want.
Stay away from Gaggia if you want to remain sane and well coffee'd.
