Rating: - Beware!
Straight out of the box, following user instructions to the letter, the machine does not work.
Rating: - It broke
We liked this machine, it used to make a good coffee and produced enough steam to make a couple of cappuccini. Then, after about four months of being used sparingly, it broke. The boiler does not heat the water anymore. I have no patience dealing with customer support or returning the stuff etc. I want the stuff I buy to work. It is not science fiction, it's what's called "core competency" for Gaggia. So we're just writing Gaggia off, and telling other people (you) about it. We might have been just unlucky, but judging from the other reviews it seems we are not alone.
This machine was a replacement for a Gaggia Carrezza I had been using for a little over two years. Why did I replace the Carrezza?

Rating: - Good espresso machine

I like the Gaggia's packing box. The machine doesn't occupy much space. It's easy to use, much quiet than I think. The crema would come out if you follow the golden rule.
The only flaw is the pump is not in balance, so the times of the water coming out from the brewing head are not the same. (Left is a little faster than right) But I still think it's the best machine within $300.
