Pro line machine Gaggia re-tag May 28, 2008

I got my machine in the mail 2 days after my order. Shipping was free and well packed.
Pro's
Gaggia of Italy is the designer of this unit , we americans do not know coffee like they do
Very heavy , easy to understand controls, simple design, twin but seperate boilers make a drink easy and fasy.
both heat up fast and the gauges help but are an estimate not true temps.
Con's.
half an inch too tall to fit under my cabinets my problem not their's
plastic tamper is tooo fragile and too narrow to do the job correctly
the water holder in back is hard to install when full of water without spilling or pinching tubes
the drain pan pop up finger is un nessary.
would like a porta filter either without bottom or with a single drain shoot.
Over all I rate this machine 5 of 5 stars FOR IT'S CLASS, this is not a semi auto . YOU must time your shots and decide when enough water has gone through.
Everything else in the kitchen is a kitchenaid and this unit adds nicely to the family.
BUY A GOOD BURR GRINDER , the twin unit pro line works well if big in size
