Gaggia HD8749/11 Naviglio Deluxe Coffee Machine, 1850 W, 15 Bar, Silver

I decided to buy a coffee machine when I finally realized how much regular trips to Costa (my nearest one is 20 miles away) were costing. I then had weeks of research and indecision about which machine to go for before. I eventually decided I wanted a bean to cup machine but with a manual milk frother so I could pretend to be a barista. I considered the De Longhi Magnifica which has very good reviews on Amazon. However, when I had the chance to view one in Currys I was disappointed by the appearance which, to my eyes, looks cheap and fragile. The Naviglio looks much sturdier and better made and, of course, it has the magic Gaggia name. On the other hand, it has a realistic price tag unlike many of the machines out there. I reckon it will have paid for itself within six months.I have been absolutely delighted with the machine which produces better coffees than high street coffee shops and am having lots of fun experimenting with different beans to see which I like the best. It's quite needy because it needs some cleaning every day, a thorough clean once a week and greasing every month but, hey, that's all part of the fun. I would unhesitatingly recommend this machine to anyone who wants superbcoffee at the touch of a couple of buttons. Can I give it ten stars please?

Love it, except for the lack of temperature adjustment. The coffee isn't piping hot when prepared so needs to be drunk soon after it's made. Probably some hipster rule about not being able to use water more than "x" degrees, but it detracts from the overall experience. However I take my coffee black, so the lower temperature is not a problem as long as I don't let the coffee sit for more than a couple of minutes. But anyone who takes milk or cream will almost certainly find the coffee too cold even immediately after preparation.. If I was a latte drinker my review would therefore be only 3 stars for the inconvenience of having to heat the milk.I don't pretend to be a barista but I like good coffee and this machine prepares good coffee straight out of the box. The bean quantity per serving can be adjusted as can the strength of the brew and there is a decent variation between the weakest and strongest settings.I have half a dozen of these machines (under Saeco branding) in an industrial/commercial environment as well as one at home and they have all survived nearly two years serving 60+ people without any technical problems. A very good machine for the price.

fantastic coffee, easy to maintain, actually pretty cheap per cup if you don't count the initial investment. I should warn potential buyers that you will need to shell out for de-scaling solution every few months at £8 per pop. however id be very surprised if it needs to be used as often as the machine requests. I find the fact that once turned off the power button flashes constantly a little irritating. also I thought that for £350 it was a bit cheap to not include a milk jug/chocolate powered sprinkler etc.Bottom line this is a great machine and I highly recommend it

Just got this (ordered Wednesday received Thursday)I've manually made espresso for years, but my partner never got to grips with it.We both love this machine and makes fabulous espresso and so simple.I did lots of research ahead of the purchase, and although this isnt a cheap machine its thoroughbred is second to none, in this case its been well worth it.Only thing you need and its missing is the ability to change the temperature of the espresso.

This was a replacement product for a the exact same model that stopped working after 6 months. My replacement unit is now faulty. Amazon are saying to return to manufacture at my own cost , even tho it's covered with warranty.Really poor service from Amazon for a premium product which cost over £350 .No offer of a replacement while I have no machine.I have no box big enough to send the coffee machine and no offer from Amazon or gaggia to resolve this,Do not purchase this machine. Really poor customer service . Exceptionally poor quality machine .Will never purchase this brand again. A complete waste of time

I had an earlier version of this machine made by Phillips, that I managed to break by pouring the wrong things into the wrong place....hangovers...I love this machine. I am a coffee addict and usually get at least 2 large cappuccinos from Costa a day (£6.80) , always with an extra shot (they already have 2) - in other words I like strong coffee!This machine makes perfect coffee and I actually had to turn the setting to medium strength as full strength was a bit much even for me. The frother works really well - basically I can't fault it. The only issue I have with it is that it's so easy to make fresh coffee that I need to cut back a bit!Tips:Use a britta water filter jug to add the waterGet a good little metal milk frother jug preferably with a temperature strip on it.If you like strong coffee make sure you set the grinder to its finest setting (see booklet - very easy to do)Perfect machine for the price, can't see any reason for buying a more expensive machine.That's it - for this price

La recomiendo, de verdad, dan más de lo que prometenComo se nota que es GAGGIA, sus cafetereras expres, siempre fueron las mejores, tanto en cafwtwrias como la versión para casa

Gör rätt bra kaffe spec med tanke på priset. Stänger av sig aldelles för snabbt. Lite krånglig att få till bra på dubbelespresson, och dessutom väldigt störande stor röd knapp som lyser (hela knappen, inte bara en liten prick) hela tiden när den är avstängd. Störande. Skulle jag köpa igen?.... Naaaeee.. Går nog tillbaka till delonghi nästa gång.

simple d'utilisation peu bruyante ( comparativement à une jura par exemple), rapide en mise en marche moins de une minute. Café juste comme il faut ; le plus dur trouvé le bon café. petit défaut mais j 'ai pris une reconditionnement quelques fois le voyant poubelle à marc s'allume et il faut jouer un poil avec les parties concernées.

Habe die Maschine seid ein paar Jahren und sie macht immer noch einen guten Kaffee. endlich mal ein Gerät, dass nicht so schnell kaputt geht. :)

Après 24 mois ma krupps de même capacité a rendu l’âme. Les composants de cette machine sont de bien meilleure qualité et se nettoie facilement et si en plus vous l’avez avec une grosse promo…
