...basis.
Although the new Gaggia Titanium has been out for at least a few months there don't seem to be any reviews of it yet, so I hope this is of help. I was in 2 minds whether to plump for this model or the slightly cheaper Gaggia Synchrony Digital Compact. The main reason the Titanium won was because the water tank was double the size of the Compact, the look was better, and the features were improved. One of the other differences between these ... ...this, which I'll be contacting Gaggia about, the machine is great - stylish, easy to use and great coffee!
UPDATE: Unfortunately, the machine completely broke down after 3 months, refusing to pump water through. I returned the machine and chose to replace with the Jura Z5 which is a much more sturdy and quieter machine. ...

Advantages: Quality of coffee, does everything. Disadvantages: Instructions could be more clear.
If you are serious about having the best coffee's possible then this is the machine for you. The machine has a stainless steel front, also on the front is the usual drip tray, this catches any drips or spills, there is the steam nozzle, this is used to froth the milk from a small jug or you can attach the Cappuccinatore(this is not always a supplied accessory) so check before you purchase as this is an excellent accessory and I would recommend purchasing ... ...basically the Cappuccinatore pushes on to the steam tube, then the little rubber pipe goes into a jug containing milk, the milk is then sucked up through this and it them comes out of the, well what I would describe as a ball shaped object, it will come out of this ready frothed into the cup which you place below it, it really gives excellent results. Also on the front is a series of buttons these are,Espresso(makes an Espresso), normal coffee, Cafe ...

Advantages: Bean-to-cup, Easy to use, Fresh coffee quickly, Nice design, Ground coffee bypass Disadvantages: Coffee bean container not removable, Does not steam while making coffee
...of these refurbished directly from Gaggia UK. I have seen them advertised up to £750 but I paid a lot less than that.
Gaggia can take a long time to ship a refurbished unit but they did tell me the lead time when I ordered it. (Refurbished machines are machines that are new, but have been shop damaged or had parts missing and so get returned to Gaggia and are repaired under warranty.)
I bought this machine as a second machine as we already have ... ...pressure not adjustable.)
The Gaggia Titanium is functionally exactly the same machine as the Synchrony Compact Digital, except the Titanium is mostly metal casing and not plastic, looks a bit sturdier, more attractive, and there have been some good design improvements over the previous models, namely:
- Immediately looks more solidly built, and pleasingly shiny.
- Easier to use door-catch.
- Bigger water tank that is much easier to remove and ...

Advantages: Looks good. Easy to use. Great coffee Disadvantages: failed 4 times in 3 years. Poor customer service from Gaggia
I've had my Gaggia Titanium for 3 years now and the coffee produced is great. However in that 3 years it has been out or action/with Gaggia/awaiting Gaggia for about a year. Six weeks in it started leaking from the bottom of the machine (instead of dispensing coffee). It took about 3 months to get Gaggia to collect it (charge me £50) and return it. The carriage fee was refunded by the supplier of the machine in 2007 it sprung more leaks, constant ... ...December to get through to Gaggia UK, then for them to try and talk me through ventilating the machine, then to send shipping labels to actually sending them the machine. Machine was returned January 14th 2009 (another Christmas lost) They tried to say it was due to scale build up, but, didn't charge me (which they said they would if it was scale) an I regularly descaled the machine May 2009 machine has failed with the same problem (less than a week ...

Advantages: Flashy looking Disadvantages: Twice the price of the same models
...same EXACTLY as any other Gaggia Synchrony/ compact. The machine is made by Saeco which is badged as Prima/Gaggia and Saeco. Prices for the same machines run at 230 pounds to over 800. The only difference being the buttons, it does nothing different to Synchrony compact (Costing a couple of hundred pounds) I bought this to replace a synchrony Compact but returned it when I rumbled their ploy! They do make good coffee, better than the Siemens range ...
