I'm interested n the titanium super automatic or maybe the office super automatic, for home use. What's the difference? Is the office superautomatic really superior or stronger or more functional in some way, or is it just a cosmetic difference of tray size, etc
A A Robert, The only difference between the Office Super and the regular Titanium is the large dredge drawer. Other than that, the machine itself is identical.
I own a small coffee shop. Does approx. 60 espresso drinks per day. Would you recommend this machine for that kind of usage? I currently am using Thermoplan Black & White, but have gone through of them and they both seem to have the same issue. Overheating and no steam. I am frustrated beyond comprehension with them. I need a full automatic machine (to make it idiot proof) for my employees as I am not always there. What would recommend?
mjackson ♦ Angela,
This Gaggia has less power then the current machine you own. You need to give me a call and I can direct you to some options. You need a commercial machine. My name is Mark Jackson I can be reached at 1-888-411-5282 Ext 5196
It is a good question and there can be some confusion over the different machines, There is no difference between the Gaggia Titanium Commercial and the regular machine. It is the same machine. The Titanium office is the same machien but with a larger drip tray and also dredge drawer to hold the spent coffee pucks. It holds about three times as much as the regular Titanium. In comparison to the J5 the Titanium has a lot of stainless steel. The J5 does not. Here is another difference the J5 has - the Jura Capresso Impressa J5 will serve as your own personal coffee shop. You have the choice to manually froth or steam your milk using the patented Dual Frother Plus wand, or you can have the J5 automatically steam or froth for you using the included FrothXpress. Both produce outstanding results in just moments, making the J5 an indispensable machine when entertaining guests who love espresso. You can even customize the coffee spout when brewing 1 or 2 cups by moving the dispensing nozzles closer together or farther apart, depending on your needs. The Jura will also give you 16 grams of coffee at maximum dose, where the Titanium maxes out a 10.5 grams per dose. Both machines give you a lot of programming options and are very similar in that respect. I hope this helps and let us know if you have any more questions.
My Titanium brews each shot very quickly, about 10-15 seconds and the espresso is a bit weak. Is there a way to adjust this or does my machine need repair?
I have used Saeco super automatic coffee makers for about ten plus years. I currently have three in use. One in my home, lake home, and office. They are Royal Digital Plus. One is ready to be replaced and I am considering the Gaggia Titanium Office. Do you think I will be making a good choice?
Out of all the Saeco machines the Royal is my favorite. I think they seem to be very durable. I do like the Titanium and feel it is a very good machine and it is better looking. It is a tough call. I do like the Royal and if it is what you are used to then it may be the way to go.
There is not a plumb kit available for the Titanium series. The main difference as you stated is the larger dredge drawer.Part of the larger dredge drawer is also a much larger drip drawer. These are good machines and also look very nice as well as a strong performer. Let us know if you have any more questions.
It could be a few things. It could be oily beans. it could be a dirty grinder, it could be your check ball is dirty, could be scale. I am going to email you a bunch of cleaning tips and lets see what that does. Try the cleaning tips suggested and let us know how it works out or if you need some more help.
what are the dimensions on this machine and how do i receive an additional percentage off? also i have a solis palazzo at present and was wondering if you take trade-ins. you should have my name on file as i have been a customer of yours for quite some time. lastly, is there another machine you might recommend. I would like to find one that is a good value, probably on sale. i look forward to hear from you soon.
Zack Smith Caroline, The dimensions for this machine are 14.5"H x 11"W x 16.5"D. The Titanium is a great machine. It allows you to customize the beverage setting to personalize your espresso. You can alter the temperature, dosage, water volume, and grind setting. Unfortunately we do not have a trade-in program. The Titanium is a great machine at a great price. If you have any other questions about the machine feel free to give me a call at 888-411-5282 ex 5193

If you would like to know a little about the many types of espresso machines we sell, this would be a good video to get you started. This video covers the machines we sell and based on your lifestyle, what you like to drink, and ease of use. It will give you an overview of different espresso machines and help you determine which one best suits to your needs.
I would watch the video and focus on a particular kind of machine—prosumer, semi-automatic, and super-automatic to decide which kind is ideal for you. Then, you can go and look at individual models to get a better idea of exactly what you want. Of course, if you narrow it down to a few espresso machines and are still undecided, give us a call and we would be glad to help!
Chance Great video. Covers the basics and really helps you find the category that fits your life. Super auto for me!

I LOVE this machine and it is a hit with overnight guests because they can have fresh coffee at the push of a button without having to know where everything is in my kitchen. I have had this machine for 5 years and it works just as perfect today as it did the day I bought it. Some of the plastic pieces do break overtime, and the replacement parts are not readily available to order on-line. But, I have found that with a quick phone call to customer service the parts are easily identified and replacement orders are quickly sent out. I am a very satified customer and have recommended the Gaggia Titanium to several friends.
Great machine with one of two qualifications . . .
First automatic machine. Love it.
How Long Have I Been Using This Product?
6 - 12 months
What's Best About this Product?
Easy to use. Simple to clean. Consistent and reliable. Simple, attractive and compact design.
Some Helpful Tips For Using this Product:
Given the design of the frothing wand, pay particular attention to giving it a very good cleaning/wipe-down after each use.
My Experience With Using This Product:
Coffee Lover
The Coffee I've Tried With This Product:
Various types of Novo, Allegro, Lavazza, Dazbog
Some Improvements I Would Recommend for This Product:
1) bean feed design allows more roasted / oily beans to hang up and require manual assistance to feed; 2) frothing wand should be a little longer and more robust for denser froth; 3) occasional mis-messaging (e.g. "dredge drawer full" when it's not).
