    I find this product really hard to use. the instructions that came with the product are not very easy to understand. When using the product it takes a lot of time and effort. i wouldn't advice any one to buy this product. it isn't easy and very time consuming. I just gave up in the end and put it in ...

    The Gaggia classic is well worth buying and better than expensive pod versions I prefer to grind my own coffee and my wife loves the mess I leave behind, I get away with it because I make her such good black coffee with a creme to die for. Would and will buy another one when this packs up, not worth ...

    I'd echo other comments on the Gaggia Classic - the bad reviews are very probably from people who haven't learnt to use their machine.I've had mine for over 7 years and it's fantastic. I can make espresso, cappucino or latte at least as good as any coffee bar in Leeds. There's certainly enough steam ...

    I think that any bad Gaggia Classic reviews may be because people don't realise when they buy them that there is a fair amount of work involved in producing a good cup of espresso with a manual pump machine. Personally, I enjoy the fact that it is a bit technical but this may not be everyone's cup o ...

    I have had this machine for 4 years now and continue to love using it. The manual controls give a greater sense of satisfaction when everything comes together.
    TIP: Remove the black Gaggia plastic frother to 'stretch the milk' ('frothing' is so yesterday) directly from the steel stemer.
    If you're w ...

    Well capable of producing good shots of espresso coffee.
    Not possible to back-flush so coffee residues end up inside machine, shower plate needs cleaning often
    Milk frothing hopeless - too long to reach steaming temperature and attachment feeds too much air - result is more like shaving foam where i ...

    My advice is ignore reviewers who can't use this machine : it's EXCELLENT. Great espresso with wonderful thick crema (sugar won't sink through it !). I use cheap(ish) Lavazza Espresso beans, and a an excellent Gaggia grinder. I'd buy another Classic tomorrow if (heaven forbid) mine gave up the gho ...

    I would avoid this machine. The cheap De Longhi I had before made better coffee than the Gaggia. I've had mine back to the outlet at Glasshoughton three times. They're not helpful - full of lame excuses. They even had the cheek to charge me for the descaler when I brought it back for the third t ...
