I am looking for hot coffee and expresso, but their seems to be little data on the temperature of the liquid coming from these machines. My neighbor bought this machine, and I taste tested the the long coffee at the high temperature setting (there are three). The maximum temperature of the coffee was 160 degrees F. I like my coffee over 170 closer to 180. Is there any machine that produces hotter coffee? Where can see the specs on this? (PS: I know I can inject steam in to the coffee after brew, but, this seems to reduce the advantage of the "superautomatic" does it not?)

A A Pete: I completely understand that desire for hot coffee - I am the same way you are. The Gaggia Titanium in our testing brewed between 175°-185°F, and has three programmable buttons that you can set up any way you wish. The product can be found here: http://www.wholelattelove.com/Gaggia/titanium.cfm

If you ask me - without having seen this machine in person - this one looks a whole lot like the Gaggia Brera in a different housing - same ceramic grinder, same arrangement of buttons and controls, maybe a little bit more hip.
I love my Brera - what a great price for a great espresso machine ...

Glad you agree and the Gaggia Brera is a great machine.

mjackson ♦ Kevin,

It is truly just called the Syntia SS. They only make this one version. According to Saecos website this is the model number. HD8838/47. I hope this helps and it is a good looking well performing machine.

Hi, how does the Syntia compare with the Gaggia Brera? Are there similar machines I should be considering? Thanks, -Ann

mjackson ♦ Deborah,

Get the Brera. I dont think we have a better value for the money.
