Good Points

Great, great coffee.Steamer works well, so great lattes as well. Very adjustable. Timer turns machine on (for me at 6 am and turns off at 9 am) so no waiting for warm up.


Bad Points

Developed a leak and the coffee was no longer piping hot.


General Comments

I had a similar leak problem after 9 or so months. The solution is simple if you are a little bit handy. There is a bad valve inside. I called Whole Latte Love where I bought the machine and ordered a Steam Valve complete - Compact Frame. Its part number GA-%0345.R and two O-Rings
the valve that comes with the machine is plastic and the new one is a brushed metal casing. My guess, it will last for 10 years! Two screws on the back and the machine is open
Near the front, by the steam wand, with a hose attached coming from the heater, is the valve, attached to the knob on the side. Two more screws and the valve wrapped in a plastic housing comes out.
Open the plastic housing, remove the insulated hose to the steam wand and the water/steam plastic hose that comes in. Replace the valve, hook up the two hoses, put back in housing and you're done. Attach back to knob on the outside, put back together and in 30 minutes, the Gaggia Titanium is like new. No leaks.
It sounds daunting but is pretty easy and beats sending the machine back for repair. I can't go a morning let alone a month without coffee from my Gaggia. Once repaired, the coffee is hotter too.
