Brera vs. Vienna. Brera works, but know it’s place Update Dec 2014. Fixed spelling errors (thank you) added a few comments here.Had this machine a while now. Initially was concerned of flimsy plastic parts. Happy to report the Brera is holding up well with daily use with no operational issues. A few new observations:a) The metal part of the steam wand under the rubber will become coated (plated) with baked-on milk. Nothing seems to prevent this, just a bit of a tedious cleaning required periodically.b) The “descaling cycle” is nothing more than running descaler through the machine, waiting and flushing.c) I have the settings dialed in to our liking, with the finest grind possible. The biggest variable is the coffee beans. Experiment and find something fresh and not too oily.d) Water container is indeed small. You’ll fill it every day. Minor inconvenience, and is a tradeoff of small counter space.I’d buy this again and recommend to friends looking for inexpensive way to get an automatic…
Easy To Use, Well Designed – But Very Small Capacities In 2006, I bought a Saeco V’Spresso superautomatic espresso machine, expecting it to last about four years. In 2017, it finally gave out. So naturally I decided to try Saeco again. I found that Gaggia is actually manufactured by them, so this was the model I ordered. I find it to be really quiet and very efficient, with great coffee taste, but that it is a bit bulky, takes a bit of maintenance and has small capacities for water and coffee.First, the coffee. It really does a great job. You can program the amount of liquid (up to 8 oz for a large cup), and can adjust the strength. It is simple to use in the morning, when complex is bad!Here is what I like:+ The cost – this is one of the cheapest superautomatics around, and yet it looks good and feels solid.+ It works quietly and looks nice. The reservoir for water is on the front left (behind the frothing wand), and there is an identical reservoir that holds the “pucks” that come…
Extremely disappointed!
