General Comments

had my Gaggia Classic for a month now. no probs so far.
but I notice that one has to follow (manual) instructions and additional info to the letter.
Thus, do remove the filter/coffeeholder immediately after you have made the coffee, dispense of the used coffee asap.
Otherwise the coffee grind hardens up and sticks to both the shower head and the coffeeholder.

Overall I share the view that making coffee takes longer, ie about 8 minutes all incl.
I used to prepare espresso with the classical Bialetti maker, ie. 6-7 minutes all incl.
Equipment is more expensive now and more cleaning intensive, but the quality is worth the extra effort.
A quick note on de-scaling (absolut essential) but I would use still mineral water for making coffee which circumvents the problem of scale.
