Subject: settling milk, unsettling attempts at art - by: jdpg
I'm running into frothing trouble.
I'm getting very nice velvety stuff on top and no big bubbles. After tapping the pitcher and swirling the milk, I get a nice start of thick, soft milk but toward...

Cheers Colin,
Many thanks for your input. Looks like I will go with the more economical Gaggia, and invest the savings on a decent burr grinder (Baratza Maestro or Krups?)
All the Best

My decision would come down to the fact that the Gaggia has some pro-sized accoutrements - 58MM portafilter and a larger double basket.
That alone puts the Gaggia out front for me....

Subject: Buying Decision:Saeco Armonia versus Gaggia Carezz - by: Polonski
As a first time espresso machine buyer I'm torn between these models.

Articles 
Geir and Pat Oglend, of MyCoffeeSite.Com, provided me with a sample ECM Giotto espresso-cappuccino machine for several weeks. The evaluation was wonderful and informative. It was, perhaps, my first time with a solid and professional machine on the kitchen counter with capabilities beyond anything I have had up to this point.
Once the Giotto is heated up (about 1/2 hour or so) and seasoned with a shot or two of espresso, the unit is ready to crank out shot after shot and as much milk as I could throw at it was steamed effortlessly and quickly. This is the perfect unit for a large party. Do not get me wrong on my trusty Gaggia Classic. The Classic is the perfect Saturday morning machine for me and my breakfast needs. The Giotto is best suited to a small office or home party's.
