If I could find one with a brass boiler, heat exchanger, heated brass group head and rotary pump for £400 I would certainly check it out. As it is they seem to start around £7-800.
Anyway, it turns out that the modern gaggia home machines are known for corroding because they have a mixed brass / aluminium boiler. So I suspect if I bought another it would die in 4-5 years or so just as the last one did.Last edited by doodab; 25 November 2011, 16:22.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you.

Waste of time poncing about with quality machines when you fill it with crappy London water. Your tea sucks big dog's as well.
Scottish water, on the other hand, makes a great cuppa.Comment
