Brera

Maybe gaggia brera super automatic The whole deal with the grinder, tamper, knock box or something for the grounds will get a bit much in the office Brera is small and light duty

$500 will buy you a Gaggia Brera bean to cup espresso machine and it will be worth every penny. Use some Lavazza Super Crema whole beans and you’ll never need to go out for coffee again. We’ve had one for 7 years, make 4 shots of espresso daily and it still works perfectly.

For that amount a Gaggia Brera, or any of the slightly better Gaggia models…worth considering a refurbished unit from someplace dependable such as wholelattelove.com.

I was bought a Gaggia Brera for my birthday, 7 years ago. It's made literally thousands of cups of coffee since, and I've had no issues at all. I just run a cleaning cycle every few weeks, and rinse the internal parts under the tap.

Get your money back immediately! They are going under it appears. I bought a Gaggia Brera and absolutely love it two months in.

My first was a Gaggia (superauto Brera)They just work. 😊

Had a Gaggia Brera and was very happy with it. Used at least once daily for 4 years. Upgraded to a semi-automatic ultimately.

Bought my Gaggia Brera in 2011, still going strong. Highly recommend ordering beans from Kaffekapslen, great value and free delivery over €59. We have a Tassimo too and I order for both every 2 or 3 months

If you do wind up having to get a replacement, I can definitely recommend checking out the Gaggia Brera line. As many shots as I pull a day off this thing (roughly 20-24), it has been going strong forever (nearly 10 years), and its price point is very good. I don't have the initiative to pull manual

I've got a Gaggia Brera, daily use for about 12 years now, not particularly well looked after and still going strong. Makes really good coffee, bean to cup.
