Would this be better than a Gaggia classic?

I've had both this and the gaggia classic. My classic died on me and i replaced with this.

Its a lot more convenient that the classic and creates less mess (although that could be just me).

Its very good value at this price, i would recommend.

I have this over 3 years. I get great use out of it, makes a lovely cup of coffee, and very convenient. Well recommended. my only problem was drinking too much coffee !!

Is anyone else having issues with the dial to turn on the milk steamer.

Mine seems to be on the way out. It is still turning but is making a cracking noise like it is missing cogs or something.


Where would be a good place for replacement parts if needed?

Is this the best value bean to cup around at the minute?

I'd say without a doubt. Been watching this for about a year waiting for it to go to 199 sterling. Jumped on it today.

My dial has been stiff since I received it, but still going strong. Drop De Longhi support a line as a starting point and see what they say - is it within warranty?

Correct it’s £6 for quicker, or free with a slightly longer wait

The trigger finger got the better of me as well, ended up getting the delonghi magnifica esam4200 for £198 from amazon.co.uk

Same...picked up a milk jug and 1kg of lavazza beans to go with it :-)

You won't be disappointed coming from a Nespresso.

My Nespresso is sitting lonely on the counter - the only time it gets some use is when some weirdo friends ask for a decaf I get a weekly supply of 3FE beans into mine - get some good quality beans and it blows the Nespresso out of the water...

You will not be disappointed. I pulled the trigger last year on Black Friday. This is sooooo much better than nespresso and cheaper in the long run.

Get yourself good beans.

I use these:

Hello, when I go to Amazon check out for the ESAM4200, the price increases from GBP 198.99 to GBP 203.97, even with free postage selected, is this VAT, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for the quick reply, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't paying something that wasn't compulsory 😂

I've been meaning to ask about that for a while now, thanks for clarifying.

I just got one myself too. ESAM 4200, the price is too good. My daily coffee machine is Franke Saphira, I might put it on sale now, for only two coffees daily Saphira is overkill for me. Compact coffee machines are not my best choice, but for the price and two coffees a day, it might be ok.

I'm getting this: "We'll dispatch your order as soon as possible.
This usually happens when an item doesn't have a release date, it's pre-ordered, or it's out of stock."

Bit ridiculous as there was no warning when I payed yesterday morning, and the delivery is supposed to be 3-5 days, so I am expecting it by Friday.

I was chatting to someone on their help page and they said it may not be in stock. They don't charge until it dispatches. I ended up cancelling and ordering from another site that had it on sale at the same price.

Irish Raven

Yeah thinking the same.....bit pissed bout it...hope it wasnt too good to be through!!

And i ordered beans and jug which were dispatched today!!
