Makes good coffee when it works
Badly made, badly finished, poor quality and more trouble than it is worth
Within a week of having the Gaggia Classic, the plating started wearing of. This was just the beginning. The steam valve leaked from about the second month and it was necessary to keep a cup under it to catch water whenever the machine was switched on. The motor stopped working after a year and the machine is now useless. The metal cup which holds the coffee gets stuck when you remove the handle and the only way to remove this is to run the machine after removing the handle so that after a second or two the metal cup drops out splashing water and coffee grains all over the kitchen. It is just a badly designed and cheaply made machine. I would never buy a Gaggia again.
