This is my review of the popular and highest buyer
rated bean to cup coffee machine from the Gaggia brand. It is called the Gaggia

Brief
Description
As the name would suggest this is a bean to cup
experience. That means you buy your preferred type of coffee beans, and pour
them into the top of the machine. You can then select how you would like your
beans to be ground.
The ceramic grinder then goes to work to create a
fresh grind. This is then placed into the machine, where the 15 bar pressure
goes to work to make you the perfect espresso. From that espresso, you can then
make your favorite coffee drink, using the rich crema espresso as your base.
Below you will find a detailed review. For those who
don't have time to read all of this, then we have put together a short summary
review of this product just below.

WHAT THE BUYER SAY
To summarize what buyers said, those who left a bad
review (around 9%) did so because they either received a faulty product, or it
stopped working within a few weeks or months of using it. That is of course
very disappointing and a pain, when you have to start packing it up and
returning it.
The contented and satisfied buyers liked the machine
a lot, and said that it made excellent coffee. They also said it was easy to
maintain and clean. A couple thought the descaling process was a bit long
winded, but worth the extra time to keep their machine clean.
My Verdict on the
Gaggia Brera Bean to Cup Coffee Machine
Some buyers simply just like this Italian Gaggia
brand, and they have been around for over 75 years. Generally speaking their
machines are high quality and make good coffee with very little fuss.
This one did come out as the number one buyer rated
coffee machine on our top 15 Gaggia branded coffee machines.
It has an RRP of £575.00 but we would recommend looking online for any better offers. With a 78% buyer satisfaction rating, it has stood up to a lot of online buyer reviews and maintained this level of rating for some time.
Gaggia Brera FAQ
Just below we have answered the most frequently
asked questions that potential buyers want to know the answers to. Hopefully
you will find that useful.
QUESTION. What is the
difference between this and a fully automatic machine?
ANSWER. When buying a
coffee machine like this from any brand, the terminology is easy to confuse. On
most fully automatic machines they will have a milk container which also adds
the milk to your coffee, so the entire process is automated from end to end.
This may be useful for a small coffee shop, but for home use, we don't think
that is over important. This Brera model does not have that milk container.
QUESTION. Does this machine
create a good crema?
ANSWER. Many coffee
drinkers want to have a really good crema on their espresso. The machine does
play a role in that, but mainly the quality of the crema produced is down to
the quality of the beans you buy and how fresh they are.
QUESTION. Does this machine
have a good frother?
ANSWER. This one works
really well according to buyers. It is a steel wand and it does create the
right temperature for frothing milk. If you want a rich froth, then whole milk
works the best.
