What Francesca says...

I like the Gaggia Brera because it makes great coffee with no fuss or mess. The built in grinder grinds just the right amount of beans with no wastage. The fresh water container and waste coffee drawer fit neatly inside the coffee maker. This coffee machine makes great coffee convenient and simple. So easy...So consistent...

I also like the way that I can change the coffee strength by pressing the coffee strength button on the front of the machine; I like the way that the fresh beans are held in an air tight section so that you get the full flavour of freshly brewed coffee.

I think that this in the best automatic coffee maker that Gaggia have brought out for using at home. This coffee machine will suit people who want their coffee made quick and simple every morning.

Francesca's recommended accessories:

To get the most out of the Gaggia Brera, I recommend:

Cappucino milk foaming jug – helps to get a great ‘swirl’ going and pouring cappuccino foam
Automatic espresso machine cleaning tablets – keep the coffee oils from building up on the brewing group
Brita filter – keeps your water pure and limescale free
Descaling powder – if you live in a hard water area – this is a must for beating calcium build-up!
