ReedmanNew espresso maker
Well, our 12 year old manual DeLonghi espresso maker died. I always had to grind the beans, measure it out into the brew cup and tamp it down, then start it up when it was hot enough. All time consuming, and I might make myself 2 cups in the am. The replacement arrived Thursday afternoon late, and I set it all up to run this morning. It's a Gaggia, and makes a pretty decent cup of espresso. The only problem is it is an automatic, meaning it does everything. All I do is press a button. I had 4 espresso cup and an espresso lungo (more like a short regular cup of coffee). I'm still buzzing tonight. All things in moderation...

El Cid 92I've had the Gaggia Anima for 5+ years. Its fantastic!!!
Definitely get the required Maintenace materials - Tablets for once a month cleaning and the descale solution for once a year.
I put Lavazza Super Crema Espresso beans thru mine for a great cup.
I use Wholelattelove.com as a supplier.

Nice machine. Love the convenience of a super auto.
