Review
I intended to upgrade my espresso making abilities by upgrading to Gaggia from my 6 year old Briel. After a lot of research I purchased the Gaggia. I returned it after 10 days because I found it inadequate. Espresso was inconsistent and the steaming ability was very, very, very weak compared to my needs (no doubt related to the small 3.5 oz boiler). WLL was great in my return of the Gaggia, however I waited a year to try again. With help from WLL, I settled on the Expobar Office Lever. It is the perfect machine for me and I rate it a "5" and have recommended it constantly for over 2 years now (as you can see, I don't rush into these reviews).
