Customers absolutely loved the espresso shots pulled using the Gaggia Anima Prestige. It does take some time and a thorough reading of the manual to find out how to use the machine. People like that this machine allows you to decide how many beans you want to grind and set it according to how strong you like your coffee. The machine also looks very sturdy, high quality and also why it looks nice on kitchen counters. One customer was a fan of the frother for steaming milk just right with the proper thickness and to the optimal temperature.
However, there were also those people whose machine broke down after 8 months or even day 2. They found the whole process of shipping the machine to New York on their own expensive for the company to check if it is a warranty eligible repair. While overtime the machine may start to sound strained, if greased using the provided materials that problem should be solved immediately.
