Convenient for the customer and a source of repeat business for retailers, the Gaggia for Illy Plus and iperEspresso system are truly a win-win for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little espresso machine!, July 10, 2011
This review is from: Gaggia for Illy Espresso Machine (Kitchen)
What a great espresso machine this is. I have used it for a few days now and it works great, and puts out an amazing shot of super rich espresso. It uses illy's new coffee capsule called "iperespreso". At about .70 cents a cup it costs about double the price of ground or whole beans, but the convenience and ease of clean up more than make up for it. The other night I pulled 7 shots in a row without it breaking a sweat. Hit the brew button and about 20 seconds later you have a perfect shot of espresso. The turbo frother makes great steamed froth, but I found it hard to use, so I choose to just nuke my milk for a rich hot latte, or over ice for a chilly cold latte. My first maker, I bough a few years back, was a Francis Francis X3. It made zero crema and was a pain to grind, tamp, and clean, so I sold it. This unit makes incredible thick rich crema time after time with very little effort and zero clean up.

UPDATE: I have used this little gem for about 2 weeks now and it... Read more

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
I really enjoy making and drinking espresso, so I jumped on the chance to review this Gaggia espresso machine.

* How does it work?

This machine is very easy to use and care for. There are two compartments: On the left is a removable water tank, and on the right is the removable drawer for the spent pods. To brew you just pop in an espresso pod, which must be the Illy brand or compatible, and press the brew button. 30 seconds later you have a hot cup of espresso which is very drinkable. For those of you who don't like straight espresso, you can add hot water (via the steam wand with the turn of a know), you have an "americano". You can also set the machine to brew longer, which will give you a fuller-tasting americano. To make a cappuccino (less milk, foamier) or latte (more milk, less foam), just fill a large mug with milk, then press the Steam button and wait for it to heat up. Turn the steam knob with the tip of the wand submerged in the milk and soon... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars awesome except for. . ., January 10, 2011
By 
Zick "Zick" (Lexington, KY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gaggia for Illy Espresso Machine (Kitchen)
It would be a perfect 5 star if it included even 2 capsules with it. As it were, I had to run around town hunting down capsules to test it.

Otherwise, the machine and the capsule performed admirably. The system delivers very good espresso with a truly exceptional crema.
