Worst expresso by Nespresso.
3:24 one shot gulp! Wow.
If you want a fully automated espresso machine go to Starbucks. Why would you buy an espresso machine for bad automated coffee, just get a Keruig coffee machine at that point.
What I liked about this model is that it doesn’t have an onboard clock MyBest.Kitchen I live in my RV where the 120v goes off and on often as I move around, so it was impossible to set the clock. Therefore it came on or went off at odd times. This one doesn’t have the temperature setting either, so it’s a little hotter than I was used to. I drink 5-6 cups of coffee a day, caf and decaf, different flavors. A reliable K-cup machine is perfect for me and my lifestyle.
The Nespresso doesn't really make crema, it spins the pod which has the same effect as putting coffee in a blender.
Fugetaboutit!! I have a Gaggia Prestige. I put in the whole beans and water, attach the milk tank on the front. I push a few buttons and voila'…delicious fresh latte, cappuccino or an espresso! (make it a double shot) I LOVE MY GAGGIA PRESTIGE! Worth every dollar I spent.
What is the point of this video if you are not doing real on air testing of these machines? Big Fail. Christoper Kimball where are you ????
Hi Time for an update? Can we do under $1500 and over $1500 to $3000?
Please make on with machines under $300.
We need an updated version of this video with just automatics as sales are off the charts due to working from home. Please!
they didn't change the grind sizes, or the amount of water that came out on any of the machines. Really they are rated how poorly they used the machines and not the machines themselves.
Should've reviewed the Gaggia Classic for those of us who already have a grinder.
Putting cream in your coffee keeps your teeth white , black coffee or tea will discolour your teeth to brown . 😁
Here's a list that helped me out.

In the end, I went with #7.

thanks for the comments, not bothering to watch the review
Need a real comparison of superautomatic espresso machines. The ones with a grinder and a milk frother . Jura, Gaggia, etc…Please note most of these machines make a pretty cold caffe Latte and drain water fast in multiple rinsing processes they have.
James Hoffmann would like to know your location
Great video fun and informative thank you
I just got the Philips 3200 which has the same guts as the Gaggia/Saeco, but is more user-friendly and also does the milk automatically. Picked it up off Williams-Sonoma with a 15% off coupon from retailmenot.com for less than Amazon.
Disappointing Unfair video, more like a commercial for the last machine. I like the other lady who brings in bunch of machines & actually test them.
Breville mob, where you at?! Damn, this machine is good! What a product!
IF YOU HAD enough beans in the hopper
THEN Jura is the machine to buy
Is that correct ?
Need the best non grinding less expensive cappuccino maker with frothier on the side.
Not a very good review on the winner other than you like it
Hello! Seeking a great Espresso Machine but would love to find one that also will brew a small 6-10 cups of coffee. I so appreciate your reviews and this is the place I turn to for professional opinions. Any tips on my new coffee bar purchase options is really appreciated, anyone. I have a great coffee bean grinder, this feature is not a must have. Thank you.
No
Gaggia’s customer support reviews are pretty bad. Most said if something goes wrong you have to ship it away where they determine if you were negligent before deciding if they will cover the repair (not replacement). I really want to buy this machine but don’t want to lose $600 if something goes wrong. I’d love to hear positive customer service experiences if anyone has one.
