I owned the Gaggia Brera for 17 years prior to replacing it with another. I use my machine every day to make a Mocha Latte. My old machine finally wore out and I bought another one. I absolutely love the simplicity or use & the product quality that the Brera delivers.

Der beste und komfortabelste Kaffeevollautomat den ich je hatte. Fängt an bei der Bohnenauswahl an der Maschine und endet bei den leckersten Kaffeespezialitäten. Optik und Haptik des Automaten sind absolut erstklassig. Sie sieht chic und edel aus, was durch das große Touchdisplay noch betont wird. Man wird auch sehr gut in die Technik der Maschine eingeführt. Und das alles im Handumdrehen. Erstmal Spydermike · mediamarkt.de
