This was purchased as a replacement to my ageing Delonghi Magnifica, which in itself has been an excellent machine for the price. I have also owned a Gaggia bean to cup machine in the past and it is true that you get what you pay for.

Every once in a while, a product so revolutionizes your day that you feel compelled to brag to your friends about it. You fantasize about it throughout the day, and when you go to sleep, you can't wait to get up, just so you can jump out of bed and use it. That good.
