The fire engine red ABS housing of the Gaggia Espresso Color may be what makes it stand out on your counter, but the crema-topped espresso it brews will be what makes it stand out in your memory. Gaggia has outdone itself again – the Gaggia Espresso Color features a stainless steel boiler for top notch heat retention, while its pump produces a maximum of 15 bars of pressure to ensure that your espresso is brewed properly. Add in a portafilter with single shot, double shot, and pod filter baskets, and you’re ready for sophisticated, convenient, and great tasting espresso.

Why does water leak from all sides and the middle while pulling shots? I have tried different pressure while tampering, grind coarseness, and amount of espresso in the portafilter. I have not been able to pull a good consistent shot since i bought it in October

John Seymour Hello Mercedes,
Looks like from the specs you do include a commercial filter basket. This pin will not be used with that one. If the filter basket has lots of small holes in it .... it is a commercial basket and does not use the pin. If the filter basket has just one hole in it ... this is a pressurized filter basket and does use the pin. I hope this helps you.
I bought this machine refurbished and used it quite frequently with great results. I purchased the Gaggia Espresso Color in February 2012 and in November I brewed two shots, turned around to brew two more and the machine was dead. I made several attempts to turn the machine on and the power light would flash on then off again. Finally, after four or five tries with different wall outlets, there was no light at all. I ordered a fuse as recommended by the support representative and I installed it with no success. I felt this was a quality machine and would recommend it, however refurbished or not, I feel that I should have gotten at least a year of use out of it!

Sanfam ♦ I'm sorry to hear about all of the trouble you had with your machine! It's natural to expect a product of this caliber to last years--Unfortunately, faults can crop up in even the best machines. While problems like those you described (a sudden and abrupt loss of power) would most commonly stem from a blown fuse, it's clear that you've looked into that and made no progress. At this point in time, you may want to consider calling our Technical Support department to perform some additional troubleshooting over the phone (We're open weekends!) or to investigate the option of repair. They can be reached at 888-411-5282, Option 3, form 9am to 6pm EST.

John Seymour Not sure exactly what is happening, you may need to call the support number on this site. Have a look at this diagram:

Look at item 43 (black two way pin) and make sure it is in the right position in the portafilter.
