Philistine ! :-)

Teus I assume you work in a machine repair shop?  Whats your opinion on the gaggia titanium?  I wish i bought the ena3 from jura instead!

In the Seventies we drank Nescafe Instant , but in the Eighties we upgraded to Douwe    ... better quality and the additional advantage that the jars could be recycled as pantry containers - and we still have them !

In the Nineties we upgraded to "fresh" ground coffee     supplied by the local supermarket, and now we walk around the corner to our local barrista     . 

My first cup back in Oz yesterday tasted ... awful ... new barrista *sigh* ... now I shall have to train him as well 😂

Still think Monmouth in London was the best      

The Gaggia isa decent machine that makes a slightly better espresso. Especially after a year or two of use.

Build quality wise the Ena is much better. Very good plastics and almost never a problem with any of the functions.

If you bought a Gaggia the trick is to look after the metal frame under the tray. After a while the paint gets chipped and there is a possibilty of some rust. Other weakness is a leaking steam / hot water tap. Easiliy replaced but still inconvenient. For a good espresso, set the grinder one dot finer than standard and ground quantity of standard plus one dot.

Any more questions feel free to ask because yes I do work at a worshop.

I do maintenance on Jura, Almost every E-61 grouphead in existence (like Vibiemme, Isomac, Faema, Bezerra, ECM, Rocket Espresso and so on) Quick-mill, Ascaso.

We stopped work for Saeco and Gaggia. Both bought by Philips and going steadily downhill for about four years now. As a matter of fact, the Gaggia Titanium is the last decent espresso machine built by Saeco / Gaggia. Most models after that pretty much suck.

I translated it loosely from Dutch so any spelling errors are mine.

or buy an original Ena in plain colors. Boring but uses proven technology.

Btw, does anybody here know a good sweet tasting coffee?

The only kind we sell is about €/$ 30,-. Great taste but a bit expensive.

Amazing what a software update makes possible.

This is from a Jura Giga. When you press "bereiden" the machine gives you a list of items nessecary for the selected drink and how to make it.
