Advantages: Looks good

Disadvantages: Dangerous and messy to use

We have just been given a Gaggia Classic as a wedding present as my wife is rather fond of a good cappucino in the morning.

The machine looks good, however, we also have a problem with the nozzle becoming detached every time you make a coffee and hot milk being sprayed everywhere requiring cleaning up.

Gaggia really need to address this as it is dangerous. For this price we would have not expected to encounter issues like this.

Although we have had a coffee machine for several years now (albeit not Gaggia's) we have also found it difficult to control the strength of the coffee. The manuals in this repsect are a little lacking.

So, on the whole we are not happy with the machine and will not be buying another Gaggia (or recommending one) based on our experience thus far. We shall in fact be looking to exchange it for something else unless Gaggia can advise on how to stop the nozzle flying off.

Summary: Look at other choices unless you can find a workaround for the issues
