I have had my Gaggia Syncrony Compact for about 4 years having bought it from the Gaggia web site as a factory refurb. I had an intial issue with the brew unit which Gagia sorted very quickly and since then it has worked perfectly. Not the most stylish of machines but neat and easy to use/clean. It gets daily use as I work from home where I am the only coffee drinker, so the relatively small bean hopper and water tank are not an issue for me but it wouldn't be suitable for a large household or office. Adjustable grinder and cup size mean it really is one button from bean to a perfect cup. I think I have had 4000 cups from this machine.It has been incredibly reliable for em and I will be loking for a similar machine when it finally dies.

We got this machine at a really good price from a Gaggia outlet. It's a recon, but it had only made 101 cups when we got it. I got it November 08, and I use it all the time. If I go away I get withdrawal symptoms. I've definitely saved money on Starbucks since we got it. It's really really easy to use.

The Gaggia Compact Digital replaces a Krups Orchestro which was a fantastic machine, however the extra controls through the digital interface make this machine a dream. The additional temperature, pre-brew, and grind controls are great. Looks wise I don't think this is a design classic like the Orchestro, but the little attention to details make this machine clearly superior! PERFECT COFFEE !!

Could provide a bit more info, what are the extra controls through the digital interface you mention, how easy is it to work, you mention that the additional temperature, pre brew, and grind controls are great, but you don't say what these functions do, and how easy they are to work.
