    1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing, 1 Mar 2009
    My wife bought me one of these for Xmas to replace a stove top espresso maker and whisk type milk frother.

    Initial impression was that it looked very cheaply made considering it is one of the more expensive models at the 'budget' end of the market. The top plate which is made of cheap plastic didnt fit from day one and the rest of the machine apart from the filter holder is cheap and plasticky with a very light weight feel.

    The first few cups of espresso were very good with a good Crema and the steam frother although also made of cheap looking plastic worked well.

    Unfortunately within a couple of weeks of being used 1-2 times most days the machine started leaking with a constant drip even when when the pump was turned off which overflowed the drip tray or diluted the coffee in the cup.

    When the steam nozzle is turned on then high pressure steam is also forced through the coffee filter and this remains under pressure for several minuted after it is turned off releasing a puff of scalding high pressure steam if the filter holder is removed.

    I think you are paying a premium for the Gaggia name - although it wont continue to command a premium if they keep producing machines as poor as this one.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Very Poor Product - Do Not Buy, 14 July 2009
    By J. Cooper (Oxfordshire, UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I have to agree with Dr Ronchetti regarding the poor quality, in both build and performance, of this coffee machine.

    I was given The Gaggia Pure as a birthday gift in June 09. The first couple of weeks the coffee was fine; I was mainly using Gaggia Coffee pods.

    Then about a week or so ago as I started to make a cup of coffee when I noticed excees water dribbling out of the sides of the filter holder, which was just diluting the coffee making it impossible to make an expresso; I too up to that time had only been using it 1-2 times daily. I tried adjusting the filter holder fit but to no avail; it just steadily got worse, dripping profusely every time I tried it. I have now given up on it altogether.

    Very disappointing performance and build quality from, what I used to think, a quality brand name.

    The after sales response from the Gaggia web site has also been poor, non-existent in fact. I will be taking the machine back for a full refund.

    As Dr Ronchetti experienced almost identical problems with his/her machine it would indicate a high probability that there is an inherant defect in the overall build quality of this product.

    Do not buy this machine!

    By Mr. Garth J. Pearse - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    After much research I finally decided to buy the Gaggia 74840 Espresso Maker for my husband for Christmas. It has proved to be a great buy. Easy to use and lovely coffee. I would highly recommend this product.
