Michael Rosso ♦ Gabriel...Thank you for your interest in the Gaggia TS Espresso Machine. I am sorry to say that this machine can not be plumbed directly into a waterline. I hope this information helps, however there are a number of espresso machines that can be plumbed directly into a waterline. I suggest you contact our Sales Department directly at 1-888-411-5282 option 1 to discuss the many espresso options that may fit your need. Thanks.
We would like to get a professional opinion between the Gaggia Baby Expresso Machine and the Gaggia TS, we are un-decided we are undecided between the two and would like to get a opinion. Thank you

mjackson ♦ Glenn,
They are both good machines. The TS is going to be great if you want to make lots of drinks in a row as it has a much greater steaming capacity. It also does make great shots. Get the TS if you like to entertain or even on a individual basis if you want to make your drinks faster.
The 18 hight can be reduce at least at 17
TS grinder automatic or I need a separate grinder

Michael Rosso ♦ Ernesto...Thank you for your interest in the Gaggia TS Espresso Machine. The height can not be reduced by much because the power cord plugs into the bottom of the machine. I hope this information helps. However if you have more questions please feel free to contact us directly at 1-888-411-5282 option 1. Thanks.
mjackson ♦ Christine,
This is a new machine and a really nice machine . For some reason it brews really great shots as I have used it a lot. It also steams very well and strongly. It is a great value and works well for making multiple drinks.

It is a great machine and made in Italy and it makes a great espresso and will steam very well. You will be very happy with this machine.
what is the voltage on the Gaggia ts? Also what is the actual color of the machine? Im seeing it advertised in all stainless steel, and also with a black bottm.

mjackson ♦ Sd,
This machine runs on a normal 110 outlet. It does have a 1500 watt heating element. It is a very good machine and has proven to be very temperature stable as well. It is stainless steel and it is a nice looking machine.
BaristaCorner Hello George...There is a 58mm ESE pod portafilter basket available from Gaggia that would allow you to brew through an ESE pod on the TS. Please give me a call so that I can give you more specifics about the Gaggia TS and this basket. My number is 888-411-5282, extension 5140. Thank you, Eric Black
Hi again,
Well I started with a Silvia from you folks and then upgraded to a Salvatore from you again some years ago; and although the Salvatore works great, every now and then I catch a little case of upgrade fever...
Does this machine have a PID controller and can the user set the brew temp? Have you received any feedback about this machine?
Other than this what pro-sumer machines would you recommend assuming my priorities are good steaming capability and PID control?
Regards,
Brian

TechMilanoItalia The TS does not have a PID system, but it is a really solid performer that is capable as a light commercial machine or high-end home machine. For something with a PID and excellent steaming, check out the Expobar Brewtus III machines.

techkathy It can not be de-calcified like a single boiler espresso machine. we would really recommend having a professional repair center perform the cleaning. The best way to avoid scale build up is to avoid using hard water in the machine.
