The Gaggia Compact is one of the newer super autos to come from the new ownership of Gaggia by Saeco. It is one of the smallest super automatics on the market today.

Bottom Line: ok for lazy coffee lovers who do not require steamed milk

Bottom Line: very poorly made... spent it's value in repairs. Never again Gaggia. Will look for a decent warranty on the next one. not any 90 day/ 1 year BS on a 1K+ machine.

Bottom Line: For a relatively low priced super-automatic, this machine rocks!

Bottom Line: I love it and for the price I do not think I could have gotten a more serviceable and well made unit.
Kevin Dee (quality: 5.2) 09.26.2005 Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: If you don't want to go broke and only want to press a button for GREAT shot or cup, this is the machine for you.

Bottom Line: ForGetAboutIt -
Phil T (quality: 6.0) 06.14.2006 Rating: 7.0
Bottom Line: It is good, but with experience I will look at the less obvious features next time.

Bottom Line: ...a small, complete espresso machine for newbies and people with little time to prepare. I'd buy it again!
