Gaggia Titanium

Pros: Beautiful, lots of intuitive controls to fine tune your coffee, durable stainless steel.

Cons: Have some patience, making coffee is an experience not dealing with a crying baby.

The Bottom Line: If your looking for a super Super Automatic espresso machine, this is one that you should highly consider.

Review: I have owned the Gaggia Titanium for 2 years and have 5200 cups. I am not sure how I was able to consume so much coffee, but perhaps it was because it was so good! My preferred drinks are flavored lattes and my husband drinks espresso's and lattes if I ...

Pros: Durable, Exceptional Espresso, Feature Rich

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: It's worth the investment if you are looking for exceptional espresso drinks on a daily basis.

Review: We had previously owned both of the Starbucks Automatic Espresso machines (non-digital and digital), both of which were produced by Seco, both of which had problems. The non-digital was replaced under warranty twice due to leakage problems, the digital ...

Pros: Good coffee and very convenient

Cons: Maintenance and support seem non existent.

Review: Purchased ours about a year ago from Whole Latte Love. The machine was great when it was working - but after about 1000 cups it has started leaking everywhere. Contacting Whole Latte Love has not been a pleasant experience and after a week we've not ...

Pros: Great coffee (espresso and latte).

Cons: reliability (or lack thereof).

Review: When this machine works it is excellent, however in an 18 month period it has broken down 4 times. Luckily it comes with a 2 year warranty, but I dread to think what happens then. It has leaked, required a new brew unit, steam valve assembly amongst ...

Pros: Beautiful looking machine, rapid heating and steam production, lovely coffee

Cons: Doesn't give the impression it is built to last

Review: I was very excited to receive this wonderful looking machine as a special treat for my wife and I. Unfortunately it has turned out to be the usual love-hate relationship one experiences with Italian machinery. After about 80 coffees in about 25 days ...

Pros: Good, fast espresso and lattes at the touch of a button.

Cons: Short lifetime; poor Customer Service; clunky Italian Post WWII industrial design.

The Bottom Line: I expect a $1,500.00 espresso machine to last longer than two months. And for that amount of money, the dealer should replace it as quickly as possible. Buy locally.

Review: Maybe the Gaggia Titanium I bought only two months ago isn't as bad as the Customer Service at Whole Latte Love. It died. All of a sudden one Monday morning when I needed coffee. It doesn't power up at all. I called Customer Service at Whole Latte Love ...

Pros: great coffee when it works

Cons: not reliable has a known flaw which is not addressed by the manufacturer expensive

Review: I bought this machine for a seasonal home. I used it for a total of 3 to 4 months in a 13 month period. Just off the 1 yr warranty period (I bought it 1 month before they switched to a 2 yr warranty) it started leaking. There is no service center in ...

Pros: i managed to get 4 cups of coffee out of it.

Cons: dreadful after sales service. machine not fixed. very expensive. head office don't want to know.

Review: I live in France and bought this machine in Italy. It has broken twice. I have had 4 cups of coffee from it. To get it fixed the first time I have had to take it to the UK at my expense as there is no service centre in France. I have just plugged in ...
